In 1888, the California Supreme Court adjudicated the Soboba tribe’s aboriginal occupancy rights over certain Mexican grant lands. This case, known as Byrne v. Alas, 74 Cal. 628, 16 Pac. 523 (1888) , resolved a dispute between plaintiff Byrne and the defendant Alas (and several other Soboba Indians), who both claimed title to the lands under the Estadillo grant. This land grant was confirmed under the 1851 Act of Congress that required the filing of lands with the federal Land Claims Board. Alas and the Indians, like Rogerio Rocha, were living on the lands within the Estadillo grant. The plaintiff, however, succeeding in filing the land grant within the two year period and therefore…

he peaceful people or the civilized people, can you guess who they are? They are the Hópitu, ‘peaceful ones,’ or Hópitu-shínumu, ‘peaceful all people’ or better known as the Hopi tribe. Not all people called them that, the Spanish misunderstood the Hopi word mo`ki and thought that mo`ki was the tribe's name. Moqui actually meaning death. The Hopi spoke a Shoshonean form of the Uto-Aztecan language family. The Hopi lived in now what is known as Arizona. The Hopi were first found in the summer of 1540.…
The Sioux or Dakota Indians were 20,000 strong in 7 different tribes, throughout the Great Plains. Free nomads of the Plains, they took full advantage of available horses, which were originally brought here by Cortez and the Spanish in 1519. The horse allowed them the mobility to pull their tepees as they traveled and were an invaluable aid in hunting buffalo, their main staple.…

The Lenape were Native Americans, who lived in around the Delaware river, occupying the states of Delaware, New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. Later on after occupying those areas, they were soon moved out by the Europeans due to war and unfair treaties. After the Europeans moved them from their aboriginal land. They occupied states such as: Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma. The Lenni Lenape lived in peace, until the Europeans came and caused chaos. Forcing them to leave the places that they occupied, and fooling them out of their land. The Walking Purchase is an example of what the Europeans did to the Native-Americans, it was an unfair treaty which made the Europeans get more of the Native-Americans land, although they made the treaty seem as if it was going to be a fair deal. This unfairness wasn’t only done to the Lenape, but it was also done…
Did you know that the Shawnee Indian tribe is a fascinating tribe? I recently have learned that they are nomads. Nomads are people who travel instead of settling in one place. Southern Ohio, West Virginia, and western Pennsylvania were a couple of states they once lived in. Until around 1660 Iroquois drove out the tribe to southern Carolina, Tennessee’s Cumberland basin, eastern Pennsylvania, and southern Illinois. They had tried to return, but again they were forced to leave by American settlers. The settlers pushed them first to Missouri and then to Kansas, but the Shawnee people settled in Oklahoma after the Civil War.…
Hundreds of years ago, America’s first people lived in a variety of dwellings. Their homes depend geographically from where they live. Each Indian tribe needed a housing that would fit their lifestyle and climate. Because North America is such a big continent, each tribe had to adapt to different weather and environments, ranging from the Arizona deserts of 120 degree Fahrenheit, to the Alaskan tundra of -50 degree Fahrenheit. Naturally, the Native Americans developed different types of dwellings to survive in these different environments. Some tribes were nomadic – moving frequently from place to place – so they needed houses that were portable and easy to build. In this research you will learn about the different type of houses the Native Americans lived in.…
Black Americans, segregation, and slavery. Most of the people who have studied American history recognize the inhumane actions towards people of color during the 1960’s and 1980’s. Yet, people often are not aware of the similar acts perpetrated on the Native Americans during the same period of time. The Native Americans had to suffer their past of external shame imposed on their culture and tradition by the White American society, followed by a coercion of White American culture due to the government proposal of the “Indian problem.” Nevertheless, the Native Americans maintained their pride in their identity and culture internally, within their tribes, and carried out such acts as Ghost Dance, valuing their own tradition. While it may seem paradoxical, both shame and pride of culture and identity simultaneously resonate in Native Americans today as a means of letting go of the unpleasant past and moving on to the future with a new hope.…
Without a doubt, the Europeans made an enormous impact on the indigenous people of North America. We should address this impact in our past as a moral question. The Natives had no sense of ownership of land, they thought land could not be owned, this was used as an advantage. The Native culture depends on different aspects of life compared to the Europeans culture. European Culture became the more dominant culture over the Natives. The Native Americans believed in tribal sovereignty which conflicted with the Europeans beliefs.…
Throughout the course of human history, hunters-gatherers remained their existences in every stage of evolution as they are the fundamental response units when it comes to food. By the region or area different hunters-gatherers occupied, different food source or species of food were limited by the set boundary of each tribe. Oftentimes hunters-gatherers equipped with advanced technology at their time to lower the amount of energy needed to lay their hand on their prey. Bow for example is a piece of technology that can be traced back over 100,000 years that aided hunters to secure their prey. (Marlowe, 2005) However, Paleo diet adopted by our ancestors are more challenging to achieve in this modern world. Our ancestors can adapt such diet because…
Uncontacted tribes’ existence has been questioned by many or ignored. While their land is being stolen from them, people turn their backs. In 2011, Alan Garcia, Peru’s president, denied their existence and claimed that environmentalist had invented them, to prevent oil exploration in the amazon. (Fusch) But they are very real, and facing serious dangers.…
