Native American Cultures

in the United States

Page 2: Riade vigo nativeamericanspt2

The United States is very large.

We have different customs in different areas and regions.

Page 3: Riade vigo nativeamericanspt2

Just like Spain!

Page 4: Riade vigo nativeamericanspt2

Native Americans in the United States also have different customs.

They all speak different languages and have different religions.

These customs are very much affected by the environment where people live.

However, one common characteristic was sport.

The Native Americans invented the sport of Lacrosse!

They also gathered nuts, berries, mushrooms and eggs.

They also hunted black bear, elk, deer, rabbit, wolves, turkey, fish, and ducks.

In the Southeast

Some wellknown tribes of the Southeast are the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, and Seminole.

The Native American population here suffered greatly from disease after contact with the Europeans.

Also, the government of the United States forced them to abandon their land in the early 1800s. (The Trail of Tears was shown in the last presentation).

Food

Like the Native Americans of the Northeast, they were farmers, growing much of the same food.

This land was very fertile. They also grew sunflowers.

They are sometimes called the Moundbuilders.

In the Great Plains

Native American tribes from the Great Plains include: Crow, Blackfeet, Cheyenne, Comanche and Arapaho.

These people became more nomadic after the arrival of the Europeans.

Page 20: Riade vigo nativeamericanspt2

Food Originally more settled, these people began

using horses to hunt buffalo in the great plains. The buffalo was the main source of food.

Page 26: Riade vigo nativeamericanspt2

Food

These people did not need to grow food!

They lived in an area where food was plentiful. They lived near water, fished salmon and gathered what food they needed.

These people were considered “rich” or wealthy compared to some other tribes.

Page 27: Riade vigo nativeamericanspt2

Art

In general, because they did not need to hunt or farm to survive, these people had more time for art and culture.

They had a very developed social structure as well.

Page 28: Riade vigo nativeamericanspt2

They are famous for their detailed totem poles.

Page 29: Riade vigo nativeamericanspt2

Alaska

Sometimes the Native Americans in the North are called eskimos.

The most well-known Native Americans in Alaska are the Inuits.

The Inuit also live in Russia, Canada, and Greenland. They live in the Arctic.

Page 32: Riade vigo nativeamericanspt2

The Inuit live in igloos.

Page 33: Riade vigo nativeamericanspt2

Food

Inuits eat and hunt: Whale, walrus,

caribou, seal, polar bears, muskoxen, and sometimes birds.

They do not eat very many plants and do not eat any plants at all during the winter.
