Kickapoo Indians used to live in the lower parts of Wisconsin but later lived in the southern parts of Illinois and Indiana, which were among lands detained by Illinois and Miami, according to the Catholic Encyclopedia. Because they were undeveloped and agricultural, they took many journeys near the country's longest river, the Mississippi, to hunt down wild and tame creatures. Hunting, they used many earthly tools that they shaped themselves such as bows, arrows, and spears. Also, because they were agricultural they ate staple food such as corn. As they, the Kickapoo Indians, became more known, they were known as travelers and for their daring or risk-taking character.
Country? Well I was born in town and I grew up in town. I got to think what life would be living in the country without all the stores and life and people in town? Lucky I, my aunt and uncle with my cousin lived in country. They had they own land and farm and lots of animals and with all that, incredible amount of work for anybody who decided to come for a visit.
In addition, the time-honored habits of fishing and hunting on which their survival depended were the main aspect for the annual change between seasonal camps up and down the Penobscot River valley (pg 6). From “waterways and the well-trodden trails,” Algonquian hunters could look for food with deer, moose, beavers, muskrats, and they could collect clams and lobsters, speared seals, and porpoises. Another important feature of the Penobscot was their mobility because it was needed for the hunting life. Therefore, they organized into many small groups and the men would make the decision according to the change of the weather. The social activities of Algonquians would change on each season, and “the paper birch tree” was the significant
There was also a strap that went around your ankle that kept them from falling completely off. Quite often all of us would go for a ride in the horse drawn sleigh to visit some of our neighbors and good many times we would go the 8 miles to the Canyon Creek Store and to the post office. The snow should be so deep on the road a sleigh was the only form of transportation that could get you where you needed to go. Dad had a set of bells that hooked onto the horse’s harnesses and would jingle all the way. He would put hay on the sleigh and we would cover up with a big old fur robe.
sAlso raised in the south, rednecks take the southern traditions to a flashy level, and evoke shame on the southern states. Similar to the natives, rednecks commonly are raised in the south. Although they are not faking their southern habits, they take these actions to an extreme level. Typically, rednecks live in cluttered, foul-smelling trailers in the most rural spots of the state. Southerners get their stereotypes from hillbilly families and their habits.
Or you could just say we were in the country part of Louisiana with the animals everywhere. Of course I seen the a lot of signs with the miles of your destination informing people on how far or close they were to where they are headed. I also observed a lot of UHAUL trucks, guessing that people where relocating their homes or traveling with a lot of huge things. Texas also had quite a bit of lakes and pounds for fishing, so that explained the reason I came across many people traveling with big fishing boats on the trucks. We passed a zebra stripped Escalade with “Just Married” on the back window, so I’m assuming that it was couple that just tied the knot and where on their way to their honeymoon or going coming back from one.
(Economist,1) All because the on going battle to have horses legally considered companion animals instead of live stock. The United State Department of Agriculture has been “stingy” (McGraw, 1) to give out any information on horse slaughter. (Economist,1) except to say “Horses are livestock, same as cows and pigs” (McGraw,1) Many people around the country beg to differ. It can probably be agreed by most that horses are owned for recreational purposes, generally not for work any longer. However, it can be found in the far western states that horses still work dawn to dusk, the long hours of cowboys.
Even washing and waxing it was a choir by itself. It seemed as if it took a whole afternoon. Little did I know, not only had I bought a truck, but I also bought what revolved evolved into a very expensive hobby. Living in the country or even the south it seems socially acceptable for a group of guys to gather around their big jacked up trucks with huge tires and see just how far you can push your beastly of a machine in the mud before it gives out. A few years later I found myself buying another truck strictly for work and around town because the green machine was indeed no longer street legal.
Morgan McKnight Soc 1 3/4/2015 Country Culture Out in the middle of nowhere people live their everyday lives just as if people in the city do. Believe it or not those country folks love being in an area where, for miles they don't see big city lights. Sociology is the study of development, structure, and functioning of human society. When we talk about the certain aspects that people live in, we all live different in today’s world. Everyone has different values and beliefs we walk by.
Urban Living versus Rural Living Try to picture in your mind an exciting place that you enjoy the most and absolutely love spending time at. Did you picture your place in a fast-paced city or in the rural land of the country? When I imagine a place in my head I vision the peaceful country living that I’ve been raised around and the kind neighbors that would love to let you borrow some extra sugar and to jump your car when you need it. The city and the country life are two very different places and each has many different benefits. Most people tend to be more biased on the place that they have always lived and been raised when they have never experienced the other.
