Compare and Contrast Pueblo and Tipi dwelling in Early American History?
85352
Pueblos were the typical dwellings of the Southwestern First Nations (for example, the Hopi and Zuni); tipis are associated with the Plains nations (such as the Lakota).  Pueblos were permanent buildings (usually constructed from adobe) and the nations that built pueblos generally stayed in one area.  Agriculture (corn, squash, etc.) was an important part of their way of life.  Tipis on the other hand were made to be moved around, and reflected the migratory lifestyle of the Plains nations.  These peoples tended to rely on the buffalo herds and on gathering to provide their food.\n\nHope this is helpful :-)\n\nFor more information:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pueblo\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipi

You would need to summarize the points that you made regarding their art, history, religion and culture.\n\nYou did make some comparisons to other cultures of the same time period, and current cultures, right?  Or what influence these all had on their people and society?\n\nThus your conclusion should flow from these comparisons and/or influence summaries.\n\nGood luck!

Through the Ouachita Mountain Range in Eastern Oklahoma, and all along the Indian Nation Turnpike, there are miles and miles of rolling mounds as far as you can see. These are NOT burial grounds.\nI think Pathstr8t was historically correct, but that answer was quite insulting, if you ask me. ONE, you must be "studying these things" or you wouldn't be asking. TWO, "teepee" is a correct term, and THREE, what makes them so sure there weren't villages where mounds developed, because I know my father and I have found many, many arrowheads and artifacts in those mounded plowed fields.There is no need to be insulting to other askers.

Many scientists and pediatricians say that Native Americans from Asia were first, crossing the Bering Land Bridge during the most recent Ice Age, but a new report shows shocking new evidence.\nA boy named Chrissy (Columbus)lived in a small civilization on an island in the Northern Atlantic, called the King civilization.  Chrissy was not what you would call a "ladies man," and therefore did not have many friends. His mother suggested plastic (or in his age bronze) surgery to approve his appearance.  However, this plan backfired and he was so hideous that the other kids would not even let him join in any reindeer games.  He realized his life was not worth living, so he followed his abnormally red nose through the water and swam to the nearest land he came to. Also, because of the gurgling noises he made during his grueling and record-setting swim, he inadvertently created an onomatopoeia that is now our word "swimming."\nWhen he arrived on shore and after he checked in through the customs as Ellis Island, he realized he was, in fact, the FIRST PERSON to arrive.  This was quite exciting for him.\nAs the first person in the USA, he had multitudinous opportunities to rob the unmanned toystores and corndog stands, but, as we so very well know, our founding FATHER (not FATHERS) was a man of impeccable integrity and a devout scientologist (that's how the country go to be so darn rich, duh). He stole no jawbreakers or Furbies, however he did purchase a fully functional DDR set at a self-checkout and partied it up with a big screen in the vacant streets.  It was a rockin time.\nHowever, as we well know, losers can never have a happy life.  One of his archrivals, Georgie (Washington), who only wanted to torture Chrissy a little more, inadvertantly followed him to this new land, and being the jerk he was, he claimed the land as his own and named it after his stupid, girly little dog "Miss America" leaving off the "Miss" and keeping the "America."\nChrissy, in dismay, dance danced himself to the brink of death and then hung himself from the nearest tree, which happened to be a cherry tree.  Georgie was appalled (not at what he saw, but at the attention Chrissy might gain at this desperate act for attention).  So he promptly chopped it down and built the first log cabin with it and cremated Chrissy's body while heating up some good old-fashioned popping corn over the blaze. When other jerks arrived and asked of Chrissy's whereabouts, Georgie said he did not know, and therefore told the truth.  However, even recenter studies now point out the obvious flaw in the story: no one really cared about Chrissy and therefore would not have asked about his whereabouts.\nSo there you have it. No bridges of land or nomadic peoples, and that nonsense.  Just a simple, harmless case of hazing and childhood fun.  \nWhat a rich heritage we all have.  It's a shame more of us don't know about it. Sad.

I'm so sorry no one gave you any good answers about the plains Indians.  Der!  Your project is probably way past due but here is some:\nAngie Debo-great American author was able to get to know many Indians personally including Geranimo and wrote really good honest books on Indians.  \nSimon Ortiz-  Or Indians in American History by Hoxie.  Or Bury my Heart at wounded knee by Dee Brown(that one is sad and hard to read but good!!). \n\nDo a search on books.  Best to get really good historical books.  \nEnjoy anyways!

You really need more specifics in here to help you at all.  \n\nSo many things missing...  it depends on the culture, the colonizing culture, the area being colonized, and the time period...  get me more info and I might be able to help you out.

All Native american tribes had borders before the colonization by the puritans.\n      We had no fences but we all knew where our boundaries were, and if you chose to tresspass upon another tribes territory,you did so at your own peril.  The consequences for trespassing were usually forfeiture of your life.  Just thought you would all like to know...and they called US savages!

The only native American group that had written language were the Mayans (and subsequently the Aztecs when they conquered them).  The record of the ancient Americans is called the Book of Mormon.

Hard to know, because page sizes were different then.  \n\nHere's the text:\n\nhttp://www.earlyamerica.com/earlyamerica/milestones/commonsense/text.html

well... the short version is that they are two completely diferent societies. The incas branched off from the aztecs a long time ago and formed (very likely independantly) civilization around the city state of cuzco in peru right in the andes mountains. The aztecs lived in the central america region from the capital tenochtitlan where (as legend has it) an eagle landed with a snake in its mouth on a cactus. According to the quinn theorem of societal evolution the incas adapted to the more tropic climate of peru whereas the aztecs needed to survive in the mexican climate. both civilizations formed around major water sources for central irrigation for agriculture as both societies evolved past the hunter gatherer phase. in the end both civilizations met their demise to spain mostly from disease and the wrath of the conqistadors. If you are interested in aztec culture I highly recomend the (fictional) book "Aztec" by Gary Jennings

...possibly a comparison:  having a good friend with a gallery in a resort town in Colorado, many natives detest the tourists who are often rude and disrupt the type of life they would like to live, but they need the money.  Another comparison:  Most of the ancient world (as recorded in the Bible) resented the Romans, but the Romans provided benefits, especially law and order.  I see totally contradictory reactions to Americans all over the world.

I suggested you to check on www.wikipedia.org and type in Lewis and Clark in the search box.  You should be able to find your answer from there.

You can check with the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Wikipedia has info on many Native American tribes and their respective histories.

There's still disagreement about just where Columbus first saw the new world and set foot upon its shores.  No one knows for sure.\n\nHere are some sites that may be helpful to you.  Best of luck.

I think you might have a paper-worthy idea here. Not sure, like the first poster, of the amount of support you'll find to back your theory up, but I do find the comparison appealing, and I've never thought of that before!\n\nHope you can draw the similarities without too much painful, fruitless research! Good luck!
