    The gathering of Indians in the temporary military camps of 1757 leads to a misrepresentation of the daily lives of northeastern Indian tribes. The Iroquois, the Delaware, nor the Huron were nomadic hunter-warriors who only lived for battle. Iroquois tribes were fundamentally agricultural, and due to being inland people were less dependent upon British and French fur traders than were the Algonquin tribes. English settlement West and North from Albany and French from the West and South from Montreal made it hard for the Iroquois to pre...

  • The Iroquois: The Language Of The Iroquois

    It has been thought that they were cannibals, and, though some have tried to challenge that claim, there is evidence that supports it. Thus, “the Iroquois practiced ritual cannibalism in the 17th century.” (Abler, 309) In 1967, archaeologist James Tuck discovered a roasting platform with fragments of human bones showing cut marks. This, though, was not the only find. There have been several archaeologists who have reported evidence of cannibalism dating about 1300 and forward. Of course, it is difficult to prove that the flesh was, in fact, eaten. Iroquois speeches have references of cannibalism, though it could have been metaphorical. There are accounts of cannibalism from supposed eye-witnesses. “Some confirmation is provided for this story [the story of a Christian Huron] by the careful examination of the bodies which confirmed the details of torture and mutilation, even though such an examination cannot prove that missing portions of the body were eaten.” (Abler, 313) In the end, French, Dutch, and English sources, both secular and religious, allege that the Iroquois were

  • Iroquois Confederacy

    The Iroquois Confederacy, an association of six linguistically related tribes in the northeastern woodlands, was a sophisticated society of some 5,500 people when the first white explorers encountered it at the beginning of the seventeenth century. The 1990 Census counted 49,038 Iroquois living in the United States, making them the country's eighth most populous Native American group. Although Iroquoian tribes own seven reservations in New York state and one in Wisconsin, the majority of the people live off the reservations. An additional 5,000 Iroquois reside in Canada, where there are two Iroquoian reservations. The people are not averse to adopting new technology when it is beneficial, but they want to maintain their own traditional identity.

    At first, the Algonquian Region was an oasis for its Native American’s who inhabited the land. Thousands upon thousands of Mohegan Indians, Agawam Indians, Chappaquiddick Indians, Pequot Indians, and even the Naragansett neighbored and collectively made up the Wampanog Indians. Each one of these subtribes spoke a different dialect; however, they were all mutually intelligible (We Shall Remain, Episode 1). All the tribes, or subtribes, shared and traded with one another. They established order for marriages; they had their own political beliefs and issues. They all dwelled near the Atlantic Ocean and were known as a “community of communities” (We Shall Remain, Episode 1).

  • The Lives of the Inuit

    1255 Words  | 3 Pages

    For the purposes of this discussion we will focus on the lives of the Inuit. The Inuit are a group of people often mischaracterized as Eskimos. They lived in the area of central and northeastern Canada and Greenland. There has been much discussion of the orignination of this group of people but the most recognized theory is that they crossed from northern Asia across thin bridge of land over the Bering Strait sometime around 6000-2000 BC. Many people mistakenly think that the Inuit and Native Americans are one in the same. It seems that the Inuit most likely came from Asia more likely than the Native Americans. Although both probably came to the Americas through the Bering Strait. Biological, cultural and dialect differences show the different origin. Much of this theory is supported due to the close resemblance of the Inuit to the Mongoloid races of Eastern Asia. Because of the harsh land and climate of the Arctic, this area was probably one of the last regions to be inhabited making the Inuit on of the earth’s younger cultures.
