    Brief Biography Of John Smith: Algokian Indians

    Personal conflicts, as well as disagreements over new policies being formulated in London, developed among Smith and various leaders. As a result, Smith left Jamestown to explore and map the Chesapeake Bay region and search for badly needed food supplies. Due to bad government and near chaos, Smith was eventually elected president of the local council in September 1608. He instituted a policy of rigid discipline, strengthened defenses and encouraged farming with this admonishment: "He who does not work, will not eat." Because of his strong leadership, the settlement survived and grew during the next year. Unfortunately, Smith was accidentally injured by a gunpowder burn and had to return to England for treatment in October 1609, never to return to Virginia…

    Seminole Clan Research Paper

    Food: Seminole men were good hunters. Fish were speared from canoes. They caught otter, raccoon, bobcats, alligator, turtle, and birds. To catch deer, they would burn a patch of grass. When the new grass grew in, the deer came to feast, and the Seminole caught the deer. Villagers planted crops behind their house and on nearby hammocks. They did not weed or fertilize or irrigate. Wild plants mingled with the ones they had planted. The Seminole planted pumpkins, squash, and corn. Corn was the main crop. They used corn to make corn flour, corn bread, corn pancakes, and even a corn soft drink called sofkee. Sofkee is still a popular soft drink among the Seminoles on reservations today. They sweetened their food with sugar cane, and to get the sugar…

    Jamestown vs. New England

    The Jamestown colony was located near present day James City County, Virginia. Jamestown was the first permanent settlement by the English in what is in current day known as the United States. The location of Jamestown was selected primarily for the fact that it provided a favorable defensive location against any other foreign powers that may have tried to gain control of the colony. John Smith, Robert Hunt along with others provided inspirational leadership for the colonists but even so starvation became a very apparent problem. The hostile relations with the local Native American people and a lack of any profitable exports only made matters worse. Despite this and a horrible winter bearing down on them, the colonists persevered. At the end of the first winter only 60 of the original 214 English colonists survived. (jamestown virginia) The settlers who came over on the initial three ships were not well-equipped for the life they found in Jamestown. In addition to the “Gentry” who was not accustomed to manual or skilled labor, they consisted mainly of English farmers who were not prepared physically or emotionally for the problems that would face them. (old and sold antique digest) Yet despite this they persevered and worked as a team to establish a colony. However, when two ships, crudely constructed in Bermuda, arrived at the settlement with no supplies, when the colonists desperately needed supplies the most, the settlers packed up and abandoned…

    Eastern Band Of Cherokee Case Study

    The Eastern Band of Cherokees resisted termination of tribal status and federal responsibilities in Indian affairs during 1940s and 1950s. “For the Eastern Cherokees, the battle over termination began in January 1947” (Nichols, 328). House Concurrent Resolution 108 was an act that called for the abolition of several Indian offices and termination trust responsibilities for certain specified tribes. The Public Law 280 was passed in 1953, which “transferred civil and criminal jurisdiction over most tribes states to the respective local governments and allowed any states to assume similar jurisdiction over their own Indian reservations” (Nichols, 335). The terminationists noted that the Indians deserved better treatment instead of being second-class citizenship because they served well in the war. They stated the Indians should become part of the mainstream American society.…

    Kickapoo Tribe Research Paper

    The Kickapoo Indians, roughly meaning, “He who moves about, standing now here, now there,” spent centuries of time wandering the land of North America. Algonquin, the language from which the Kickapoo speak, have taken their name from the Algonquin words Kiwegapaw or Kiwigapawa. Today, the recognized tribes are the Kickapoo Tribe of Oklahoma, the traditional Tribe in Texas, the Kansas Kickapoo Tribe, and also, The Mexican Kickapoo Tribe. Their population of 3,000 people in 1759 has grown to be almost 600 more members by the year 1990 in the United States (Malinowski, Sheets 88). It seems, the Kickapoo people were not as well known or respected as other tribes today, and unfortunately, were kicked around by not only the Europeans, but also, other Indian tribes. Although the Kickapoo are a lesser known tribe, their traditional ceremonies and way of life are fascinating.…

    Personal Narrative: The Teton Sioux Indians

    It had been such a long and hard journey. The long walks and difficult terrain, the materials and luggage we had to carry seemed to weigh tons and the sweltering of summer and bitterness of winter was almost unbearable. Not to mention how precarious the whole trip was, one wrong step and we were goners, especially by the natives. We ran into some Mandan Indians and they refereed to us as the pretty people, which I mean, who am I to complain? But not all encounters with the natives were good, we had an especially frightening run in with the Teton Sioux Indians. We were just passing through the river and they cornered us! Luckily their chief called them off and we were on our way. We’re coming back home and all so obviously the journey was a…

    The Shawnee Tribe

    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.…
