The people of the Eastern Woodlands made many tools to help them in their everyday lives. They made spears, weirs, nets, bows and arrows, lances, knives, taps, snares and deadfall for hunting. Most of those tools were made of wood or bark and other forest material. Arrowheads were made from chert, or flint, from sedimentary rocks. They were shaped like isosceles triangles, the smallest arrows were used for hunting birds, the bigger ones were to spear bears or deer. Flint knives were often oval, or teardrop shaped. For fishing they made spears, weirs, and nets. They also made canoes from hollowed-out trees to help with fishing in the lakes and streams. Some other tools they made were axes made of stone to strip bark, clear fields and removing fat from hides. Axes …show more content…
were highly valued due to them being hard to make and the process being long, they never lent stone axes to others. For cooking, they made containers which were made of wood or bark, mainly from birch trees. They also made vessels made of wood and bark and black clay. They also made dishes mainly made of wood for them to use to eat or they ate straight out of the containers or vessels. Another way they used the vessels were for storing food and they may even have been used for ceremonies and rituals. To make the tools they made stone mallets or hammers to shape and chip the materials they used.
The Eastern Woodland people also made jewelry such as gorgets, armbands, earrings, and necklaces. The gorgets were created with pendants with two holes in them from shell, slate or shale stone. They were strung with lacing and worn around the neck. Armbands were typically made of metal such as copper. They also made them out of bones. Metal armbands could be simple, narrow bands or stamped and decorated. They were also made of beaded leather strips or finger woven wool. Earrings were simple metal hoops with beads or pendants dangling from them. This type of jewelry was also worn in piercings through the septum of their noses. Necklaces were made from a wide variety of materials. Pendants were made from bone, shell, stone and metal. Beads made from shell, stone, metal, wood and glass were strung in single or multiple strands. More intricate necklaces were made by stringing bear claws or bird claws. Overall, the Eastern Woodlands people made many items to help them with their everyday lives and I think that they were very talented and creative for being able to make these items such as the jewelry and all the
tools.
Kamares ware includes beaked jugs, cups, small boxes, chalices and very large hand-made vases that were sometimes over 1.7m high. These large vases are used for storing oil, wine and grain. Kamares ware is also used as table ware for the wealthy and for
Baskets are made of feathers and beads. A cool fact is, The weapons by the Pomo people included spears, stone ball clubs, knives and bows, and arrows. The sharp points of their weapons and their tools were fashioned from Obsidian. They used spears and basket traps for fishing. For large animals, they used bow and arrows. For smaller animals they used nets. Also, the spears were made out of arrowheads. The history and details of the Stone Age weapons made and used by Native Americans are included in the various articles in this section which provide an opportunity to study the differences between the tribes of Native Americans. The Pomo who lived along the coast made rafts of driftwood bound with plant fibers. The Clear Lake Pomo made raft-like boats from bundles of tule reeds bound together with grape

Like other eastern American Indians, powhatans also created wampum out of white and purple shell beads. Wampum beads were traded as a kind of currency. But they were more important as art material. The designs on their belts often tell a story or represent a person’s family. Pocantahs is the most famous American Indian woman ever.
Neither white nor black people want to be poor, hungry, or unfair judgment put on them. However, being born with the blood of their parents, they have to live under different circumstances. Their lives are comfortable or struggled that depends on the kind of blood their parents give them. Especially, the mulattos who have mixed blood of white and black have more difficulties in life because of having multiple cultures. Indeed, the novel “the House Behind the Cedars” of Charles W. Chesnutt main message about race relation is that mulattos struggle dramatically in racial society of white, black, and mulatto their own kind people.
The mosaic of archaic settlements included about fived hundred separate tribes speaking ninety languages, each with local dialects. The Chumash established permanent villages and had a giant supply of acorns. Northwest people concentrated on catching fish and whales. They also traded with people who lived hundreds of miles from the coast. Eastern Woodland cultures lived east of the Mississippi River. The Eastern Woodland cultured adapted forest environment that included the major river valleys of the Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee, and Cumberland; the Great Lakes region; and the Atlantic Coast. Woodland hunters stalked deer as their most important prey. Deer supplied Woodland peoples with food as well as hides and bones that they crafted into clothing, weapons, and many other tools. Woodland peoples with food as well as hides and bones that they crafted into clothing, weapons, and many other tools. Woodland Indians gathered edible plants, seeds, and nuts. The Woodland people established more or less permanent settlements. Woodland burial sites suggested life expectancy was 18
One of the most beautiful parks in California is located in Burney, at the foot of the Cascade Mountains, just east of the Shasta National Forest and about 50 miles east of Redding California. It is the second oldest park in the California state park system and contains one of the area's most spectacular natural wonders: Burney Falls. But there is more than just the falls for vacationers to experience here. In fact, the park boasts 910 acres of forest and five miles of streamside and lake shoreline, including a portion of Lake Britton. McArthur-Burney Falls offers camping, fishing, hiking, horseback riding, and water sports.
The lives of men and women, women more than men, have changed a lot of the past couple years even decades and more than that. The interconnection of race and gender in the evolving social hierarchy of the early South, Colonial North Carolina, has changed. In Colonial North Carolina the main difference was on how the ways of “ordinary people” interacted with different genders and how race was different between the people of North Carolina. Peoples’ beliefs were the main thing that changed these views, but sometimes it reflected on political beliefs also. Between men and women sex was seen differently. Men and women’s views on sex were far from similar and this has affected their views on race and their views on each other. Views on sex has been
Did you know that animals and plants are dieing from living and even non living things. So predator - prey relationships have a big deal of the population on plants and animals because the predator will eat them. But with the predator - prey relationships they all have a connection together. The one that controls how the population of all the things is the keystone species because they keep everything in check just like a printable in school. But what happens if the keystone species die and can it affect the ecosystem strongly? So living and Nonliving factors have a big affect on the population of the and and the animals.
HOW LIKELY IS IT THAT THESE CONSERVATION ATTEMPTS WILL PROLONG THE LIVES OF OUR COASTAL WELANDS?
All over the world there are animals dying from national disasters and plants are dying from animals. So the predator - prey relationships have a big deal on the population on plants and animals. But with the predator - prey relationships both animals have a connection together because that animals and the plants can be controlled with a keystone species. The one that controls how the population of all the factors is the keystone species because the keystone species is the animal that keep everything in check with the population of the plants and animals. But if the keystone species die and can it affect the ecosystem strongly and a trophic cascade would happen. So living and Nonliving factors have a big effect on the population of the and
In the poems “The Wood-Pile” , “Two Tramps in Mud Time”, and “Mowing” Robert Frost explores the theme of the nature and value of work, and that manual labor functions as a tool for self-analysis, self-realization, or self-discovery.
Deforestation is defined as the clearing of trees, and the absence of a forest. What most people seem to turn a blind eye to the fact that we need these trees and plants not just for our paper, pencils, or even furniture, but something much greater than any of these things put together. Indeed having a low costly grocery store within walking distance is pleasant, but there are negative consequences as well as positive consequences that coincide with the placement of a Wal-Mart in the city of Oviedo. It is understood to many that industrialization as well as being able to finally have a store that does not charge six dollars for orange juice is a blessing. Fretfully, the negative consequences will
Deforestation means to cut down a big amount of trees, which results in damage to the quality of the land. Forests cover 30% of the earth's land, but are lost every year. The rainforest could disappear in about a hundred years because of the existing rate of deforestation.
