The Sioux tribe Wounded Knee The Massacre at Wounded Knee in 1890, where the Sioux fought the U. S. army, was one of the greatest battles in Indian history. The Sioux tribe, also known as the Dakota Indians, was discovered by the French in 1640. However, before being discovered by the French, the tribe was called the Nadowessioux. They lived by the Mississippi River. It was a very large tribe that extended from the Mississippi River to the Arkansas River.
Sha-de’ Thomas Navajo Culture Research Paper Anthropology 101 Professor: Megan Douglas September 16, 2012 Who are the Navajos? It has been said that they are the largest Indian tribe in North America covering 27,000 square feet miles consisting of over 200,000 people. They live in the southwest region also called the four corners. The four states that connect to one another making up the four corners consist of Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado. The Navajo tribe originated from Canada about 1000 A.D.
Many tribes shared similar one. With the increasing influence of European cultures, native cultures of American Indians were replaced and a new value system dominated the region. This new culture was introduced from the outside and was able to explore more quickly the environment that Indians were used to. The new residents had no great concern to maintain the resources because they moved to other places when they were exhausted. Land were extremely important to European settlers, because in most countries of Europe land meant
The Navajo are the largest Indian tribe in the United States. They live on the largest reservation in the U.S. which covers over three states on 17 million acres in the Four Corners area of the southwest. The states include Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and a small part of Colorado. The current population is at least 160,000 and projected to grow to a quarter of a million by the year 2000. Growth in commerce on the reservation promises to make the Navajo one of the wealthiest tribes in the country, but it does not seem that way.
The Wabanaki Confederacy (Wabanaki, translated roughly as 'People of the First Light' or 'People of the Dawnland') are a First Nations and Native American confederation of five principal Nations: the Mi'kmaq, Maliseet, Passamaquoddy, Abenaki and Penobscot. The Members of the Wabanaki people are located in, and named for, the area they call Wabanahkik ('Dawnland'), generally known to European settlers as Acadia. It is now most of Maine, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, plus some of Quebec south of the St. Lawrence River. The Western Abenaki are located in New Hampshire, Vermont, and into Massachusetts. Historically, the confederacy has united five North American Algonquian language-speaking First Nations Peoples.
With the aid of his vigilante force, the Guardians of the Oglala Nation (GOON’s) he attacked the “traditionalists”. Over sixty murders have occurred in this reservation between the year 1973 and 1975 and still remain unsolved. To protect the Reservation, traditionalist requested the AIM to allocate them members to protect them from further attacks by the GOON’s. Among them was Leonard Peltier, who at the time was being accused of the attempted murder of a police officer in Wisconsin. On June 26, 1975 FBI agents, Ronald A. Williams and Jack R.

He lived in the Currumpaw valley in New Mexico. Many call him the king of it. During the 1890's, Lobo and his pack, were killing the settlers’ livestock. The ranchers tried to kill Lobo and his pack by trying to poison them. They also tried to kill them by using traps and by hunting parties, but these attempts failed.
Indian Wars erupted due to tension between the settlers backed by the federal government who were encroaching upon native land and the Native Americans occupying this land. The result of this tension led to Indian Wars such as the Sioux Wars which contained events such as the Wounded Knee Massacre in which federal troops killed 300 Sioux men, women, and children and the killing of General Custer during the battle of Wounded Knee which caused public opinion to turn even more against Native Americans. As a result of these Indian Wars all Native American tribes were effectively put onto reservations. The purposeful impairment and alienation of native culture was strongly emphasized by actions taken and legislation passed by the federal government of the United States. In Document A, Santana, Chief of the Kiowas, describes the destruction of timber and killing of buffaloes by soldiers who sit in camps where his people have lived for generations.

Native Americans still are such an amazing contribution to how our country became the United States and all the other tribes that have been spread across the land due to high power and the very little choice that was given to them. Today you will be reading about Wisconsin’s own Oneida tribe, where that have originated from, their practices, other tribes that have similarities, and of course how important their role is in today’s Wisconsin Native American Cultural world and economy. The Wisconsin Oneida are a Iroquoian-speaking Indian tribe that is currently living on a reservation in northeastern Wisconsin near the Green Bay area. They were originally from the New York area. Within the Iroquois, the Oneida is one of six tribes.
