Extractions: The Native American reference article from the English Wikipedia on 24-Apr-2004 (provided by Fixed Reference : snapshots of Wikipedia from wikipedia.org) Native Americans (also American Indians Amerindians Amerinds , or Red Indians ) are indigenous peoples and descendants of those who lived in the Americas prior to the European colonization . Many of these tribally affiliated ethnic groups endure today as political communities. The name "Indians" was bestowed by Christopher Columbus , who mistakenly believed that the places he found them were among the islands in Southeast Asia known to Europeans as the Indies. (See further discussion below). Canadians generally use the term First Nations to refer to Native Americans; the Canadian Indian Act , however, which defines the rights of recognized First Nations, refers to them as Indians. In Alaska , because of legal use in the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act ( ANSCA ) and because of the presence of the Inuit Yupik , and Aleut peoples, the term Alaskan Native predominates. In Canada, however, Inuit are not considered First Nations (neither are

Among the 19 tribes remaining nowadays, nine have managed to preserve their distinct customs and languages relatively well. These nine tribes are the Saisiat, Atayal, Tsou, Bunun, Ami, Rukai, Puyuma, Paiwan, and Yami. The brand-new Shung Ye Museum of Formosan Aborigines houses a refined collection of 1,000 artifacts, mainly from these nine tribes. First of its kind in Taiwan, the museum is also dedicated to preserving indigenous culture and enhancing understanding among the different ethnic groups.

Extractions: Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Maps ... World Civilizations Encyclopedia of North American Indians The colonization of North America by Europeans decisively altered the histories of the continent's native peoples. But the scope and impact of these changes varied enormously from one place to another and from one period to another. When Europeans began arriving in North America they encountered a land characterized by both continuity and change. For more than ten thousand years, kin-based communities had developed myriad ways of living off the land, of exchanging goods and otherwise interacting with one another, and of expressing themselves spiritually and aesthetically. This diversity was reflected in their societies, which ranged from small, mobile bands of a few dozen hunter-gatherers in the Great Basin to Mississippian temple-mound centers in the Southeast with thousands of inhabitants. Indians in some areas were experiencing particularly pronounced changes during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Inhabitants of Chaco Canyon, Mesa Verde, and other Anasazi centers in the Southwest had dispersed in the face of drought and political upheaval after the thirteenth century. Their descendants settled in pueblos on the Rio Grande and elsewhere and, by the sixteenth century, had begun trading with newly arrived Athabaskan-speaking Apaches and Navajos. In the Mississippi Valley, Cahokia and several other urban trade centers had collapsed in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, sending refugees in all directions and significantly reorienting exchange networks and alliances. Elsewhere in the eastern woodlands, a pattern of gradually increasing, intensifying conflict between communities was linked to the pressure of growing populations on resources and to competition for control of exchange networks.

Think of short definitions and creative ways you would cluster some of these. Some terms and concepts "comfortably" fit together, while others don't. Use the following as a review sheet to test yourself. If you can provide a definition and example of each of the following terms and concepts, you are in good shape. Use this to try to test yourself (before I test you!). During review we will definitely disqualify some of these (i.e. they won't be on your test.). I encourage you to work with one another on these terms and the "class telephone book" should help.

Therefore, when searching for Aboriginal teaching resources, there is no single area of the Curriculum Laboratory, or in the University Library, which holds all the pertinent resources. Before going to find the actual materials, spend a little bit of time brainstorming for words or phrases which could describe the topic. You may also want to think of broader and narrower terms for that topic. If you are unfamiliar with your topic, you may want to use a big dictionary like Webster's Third International Dictionary (CURLB Info Desk 423 Web), or a general encyclopedia like The World Book Encyclopedia (Try "Indian, American") (031 Wor), to generate a list of terms. If the topic is Canadian in scope, it may be useful to consult a Canadian dictionary like The Canadian Oxford Dictionary (423 Can), or The Canadian Encyclopedia, either in the adult edition (971.003 Can) (Try "Native People"), or the junior edition (Try "Native People") (971.003 Jun).

Hardly a week goes by that we don't have email from at least one kid looking for information on the "Algonquian tribe." Adults, too, write to us trying to do genealogical research on their "Algonkian" ancestors or learn the "Algonquian" heritage of their state. There's just one problem with this : THERE IS NO ALGONQUIAN TRIBE! "Algonquian" is a linguistic term referring to a related family of languages spoken by dozens of distinct Native American tribes. The word "Algonquian" was invented by linguists and doesn't have any meaning besides referring to the language familyit is similar to other linguistic terms like "Indo-European." If you are interested in linguistics, we have a page with in-depth information about the Algonkian languages and their relationships to each other. If you have a school report to write on the culture of the "Algonquians," though, you may have difficulty. Imagine you had a homework assignment on Indo-European clothing. When you looked in the encyclopedia, you'd see that "Indo-Europeans" actually include the Dutch, the Spanish, the Russians, and the Indians in India. What would you write about? The Spanish don't wear saris or wooden clogs, and the Indians don't wear fur hats or lace mantillas. In Siberia it gets to be -40 degrees Fahrenheit, and in Bombay it cann be hotter than 100 degrees and humid. You would have a hard time completing this assignment.

Acolapissa men limited themselves pretty much to a breechcloth, women a short skirt, and children ran nude until puberty. With so little clothing with which to adorn themselves, the Acolapissa were fond of decorating their entire bodies with tattoos. In cold weather a buffalo robe or feathered cloak was added for warmth.

A number of the Native American languages that were spoken at the time of the European arrival in the New World in the late 15th cent. have become extinct, but many of them are still in use today. The classification âNative American languagesâ is geographical rather than linguistic, since those languages do not belong to a single linguistic family, or stock, as the Indo-European or Afroasiatic languages do. There is no part of the world with as many distinctly different native languages as the Western Hemisphere. Because the number of indigenous American tongues is so large, it is convenient to discuss them under three geographical divisions: North America (excluding Mexico), Mexico and Central America, and South America and the West Indies. It is not possible to determine exactly how many languages were spoken in the New World before the arrival of Europeans or how many people spoke these languages. Some scholars estimate that the Western Hemisphere at the time of the first European contact was inhabited by 40 million people who spoke 1,800 different tongues. Another widely accepted estimate suggests that at the time of Columbus more than 15 million speakers throughout the Western Hemisphere used more than 2,000 languages; the geographic divisions within that estimate are 300 separate tongues native to some 1.5 million Native Americans N of Mexico, 300 different languages spoken by roughly 5 million people in Mexico and Central America, and more than 1,400 distinct tongues used by 9 million Native Americans in South America and the West Indies.
Extractions: By the beginning of the 19th century, the Beothuks were reduced to a small refugee population living along the Exploits River system. The Beothuks The Beothuks are the aboriginal people of the island of Newfoundland. They were Algonkian-speaking hunter-gatherers who probably numbered less than a thousand people at the time of European contact. The Beothuks are the descendants of a Recent Indian culture called the Little Passage Complex. Courtesy of Dr. Ralph Pastore, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John's, Newfoundland. The arrival of migratory European fishermen in the 16th century may have provided new opportunities for the Beothuks. These fishermen erected stages, flakes and wharves during the summer fishery, but after they left the island to return to Europe, they left behind nails, lost fish hooks, and scraps of iron and kettle. Evidence from a number of Beothuk sites indicates that the Beothuks picked up these metal objects and reworked them into arrowheads, lance points, harpoon end blades, awls and hide scrapers.
