Recommended: History importance

History is important to me because I have been trained that we lose time rather than gain it due to our Western way of English that quantifies times as something to be counted and ticked away. As a linguistics major with a deep interest in history, I gained more perspective on history after learning about Hopi culture. The Hopi see the time as gaining increments and preparing for the next. Upon knowing that I realized that history and events are not about lost to mourn over but instead events that can prepare me for the present. In that same vein, history prepares everyone for the present that that is why it is important. That is why history is important to me, it lays the road map of what can be created rather than what is done. My passion

  • A Southwestern Indian Culture Among Us Today: The Hopi Indians

    1993 Words  | 4 Pages

    Did you know that the Ancient Indian people of the Southwestern United States have dated back to the year 10,000 BC? First appearing toward the end of the last Ice Age, they were the first “Americans.” (Noble, 1998) When Christopher Columbus arrived in the America’s in 1492 and seeing the people of this land for the first time, he thought that he had landed in India, thus giving them the name “Indians.” (Noble, 1998) However, he was nowhere near India, or that region of the world. Because the Ancient Indians were nomadic people, (people who wondered the lands with no permanent home) through the years they developed, separated, and re-located their clans, developing into what we know today as the American Indian. One group or tribe, are the Hopi Indians. Although the Hopi are still a tribe today, mostly living in Arizona, their population, traditions, skills, and crafts have dwindled throughout the years. Let us sit back, relax, and explore the ancestor’s of the Hopi tribe and learn about their traditions, skill, and crafts.

    Culture can be described as a set of ideas along with a pattern of behaviors that are taught, learned and passed through generations of people. The culture of a society or group has its own non-genetic traits that govern how individuals interact with others and the environment. Just as genetic traits evolve so can a culture, a shift or change in the environment can prompt a transformation on many different levels (Park, p.33,406). For instance, when the Spanish introduced horses to Native Americans it set off a chain of cultural events that changed Native Americans culture drastically.
