CHAPTER SIXTEEN
1
Compare and contrast the Pacific Coast Indians with the Pueblos of the Southwest.
The most important of all to the Northwest coast Indian peoples was the Raven. The Pueblo peoples lived in compact, permanent villages and resided in multifamily buildings. The women of a household cared for young children; cultivated spring-irrigated gardens.
2
What traits did the Plains tribes share, and what was the economic basis of the way of life for most Plains tribes?
One of the most important traits shared by all Plains tribes was the fact that they all hunted bison or buffalo. This was also the economic basis of their way of life since hunting provided them with food and skins, which they could trade for goods.
3
What was the effect of disease on the western Indians?
It killed off many of the Indians leaving them outnumbered when it came to whites and their moving of them off the their lands
4
What were the key challenges and disadvantages that the Plains Indians had in their conflicts with white settlers?
Ideally they planned the raising of barriers around this Indian country beyond which the whites might never go, and doubtless were sincere in their expectation that the tribes might thus be isolated and protected from the sinister influences of civilization until Indians had advanced to a degree of independence and culture where they would readily enter the Union .
5
Describe the process by which the United States asserted control over New Mexico. What role did Mexican immigrants play in the region?
In the Compromise of 1850 Texas ceded its claims to the area lying east of the Rio Grande in exchange for ten million dollars and the US government established the New Mexico Territory on September 9, 1850. Among U.S. states, New Mexico has the highest percentage of Hispanics, including descendants of Spanish colonists and recent immigrants from Latin America.
