Hi Class!
This week you watched the movie American Heritage: Native Americans. The movie is posted if you would like to watch any part again. Please try to share at least three sentences of wonders, wows and new learning. What region are you most interested in studying?
I have no idea about Native Americans, so I found this movie informative as well as interesting. Starting with the Cherokee: I had NO IDEA that the Cherokee were the first to have a written language.
ReplyDeleteI also did not know that in preparation for war, the Cherokee played a game similar to Lacrosse named "Little War" but there are more people and less rules. Next, The Kiowa: I didn't know that they were known to move around a lot. Because they move very frequently, they have very portable homes (tepees). And I also didn't know that to make fires, they use...um...buffalo manure. Anyway, that's all, and I hope you enjoyed reading this! I await our next Native American project!
Turner, great details! Yes, using buffalo manure is very resourceful. You'll find other peoples used this method as we continue our studies this year. Often, kids were the ones who had to collect the buffalo droppings!
DeleteI want to study the great planes.WOW FACT there can be over 1,000 people in one tribe!FACT why don't they hunt sheep for wool?WOW- FACT they evan trade prisoners for food and leather!!!!

That video was very interesting. I didn't know that there is a tribe called Mohawk! What I did know is that buffalo chips are the same thing as buffalo you-know-what. I also learned that Sacoya invented the first written language. And most Mandan farming is done by women. I didn't know that tipis were made to be movable!
ReplyDeleteI want to study the great plains. FACTS, (?) Did the word Mohawk come from the tribe Mohawk? (NL) You can make flower with acorns. (BK) I saw the cave that had the houses in it, I walked around in there.
ReplyDeleteI want to study the great plains. I didn't know that the indians used acorns as flower. And that the indians used buffalo chips as coals for there fire.BK the Indians used every part of the buffalo.I wonder if the indians tribe Mohawk was called Mohawks because they had Mohawk
ReplyDeleteCurrently, I don't know what I want to study yet. Anyways, NL relatives called a clan, lived is pit houses! My wow was that 300 to 400 people lived in a village! As for my question, what did Hiawatha do to convince everybody to make the the Iroquois confederacy? Anyways, bye!
ReplyDeleteI want to study the Mandans I was really intrigued that they drove bison of a cliff and killed them. I think shepherds got the idea from the Mandans. I did not know that indians used bison scat or poo or chips I accidentally fell in bison poo before. My grandma and grandpa have walked in one of those cave houses before

ReplyDeleteI never knew that they drove the buffalo off the cliff WOW! My new learning was that the Yurok tribe crushed acorns to get flour. I wonder if they hunted deer? Well, everybody have nice weekend bye:]!!
ReplyDeleteI want to study the Cherokee or the pueblo people. I had no idea that the native Americans traveled here by foot and that the sea level dropped and Asia connected with North America! . I learned that the eastern woodlands got its name from its dark thick forests. I never knew that Lakota and Kiowa tribes hunted buffalo. I learned that some native American tribes hunted for wale for blubber. I also learned that the pueblo used a clay called adobi . I learned that the Cherokee planted squash, corn, beans, pumpkins, and sunflowers. I found out that kiowas traveled a lot . So exited to start! have a good day!
ReplyDeleteI want to study the Kiowas or Tonkawas. I want to study them because I went to a camp and those were the Tribes. I learned that the Kiowas and Mandas drove buffalo off cliffs. I also learned that one tribe had 1 house for the summer and 1 house for the winter HOW COOL !!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat was interesting is that some of the children played a game like soccer but with less people!
I would like to study the Pueblo people. N L I never new the natives ate the fat from the whale. ! There could be 1,000 people in one tribe. Fighting in the Iroquois tribe was likely to see once it had so many people in the tribe. .

ReplyDeleteI cant believe the mandans build circular houses. And an other tribe killed buffalo to make stuff. An other tribe ate bears. I am hoping to learn more about them and where they live.
ReplyDeleteI want to study the tonkawas or kiowas .Because my friends went to a camp that had tribes. And i learned that the kiowas drove buffalo of cliffs WOW!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Mrs. Kottler. I miss you but I'm interested in studying the Pueblo people. I did not now that the water level dropped in Asia and the countries connected. I did not know that there were six regions where natives lived. The earliest pueblo people were the Anasazi. The Navajos built homes called hogens. Sorry I didn't do to much facts I did it very late.
ReplyDeleteI want to study the Kiowas or the Cherokees. I learned that Cherokees have two different houses one for winter and1 for summer. The winter house was like a cone and the summer house was like box shape. I learned that Kiowas use buffalo chips/ poop for fuel in their fires. A question was, Do they pick them up with their bare hands?
ReplyDeleteI want to study Mohawks,Mandans,Cherokee,kiowas,Sioux.Cherokees have cool houses because their summer houses are bigger and more square then their winter houses are like dome pitt house.Twice a year the grass lands hunt buffalos and they kill them by knocking them off of a steep cliff.by
ReplyDeleteI really like the video of the native americans. My favorite part is the Kiowas. I really think that it is interesting that they kill and hurt the buffalo by driving them off of a cliff!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to study about the tribes! My favorite part was when the video told us about when the Mohawks were richer than other tribes but what do they mean richer with supplies? And men would drive buffalo off a cliff pretty smart. See you at school! :D
