They came to depend upon the buffalo for their livelihood, and they made use of virtually every part of the animal: its flesh, its hide, and even its bones. Many Cheyenne religious rituals, such as the Sun Dance, were designed to ensure the abundance of buffalo. This Cheyenne myth is in many ways a "typical" creation story. It contains several common motifs, or recurring story features. Of special interest is the "earth-diver" motif.

The Kinship System of the Iroquois Culture C. Hart ANT 101 Introduction to Cultural Anthropology Professor Christina Winn November 28, 2011 The Kinship System of the Iroquois Culture As one of the first known cultures in North America, the Iroquois Indians were located in the northeastern part of what is now called the United States of America, predominantly in New York, but were also found throughout the Finger Lakes Region, and along the St. Lawrence River. Today, they primarily live in New York, Quebec, and Ontario. Lewis Henry Morgan, a prosperous attorney living in Rochester, New York, who has been noted by many as one of the pioneers of Cultural Anthropology, took great interest in the Iroquois Indians of New York. After years of research, he published his book, Ancient Society, in 1877 depicting the cultural lifestyles and kinship of the Iroquois Indians which are comprised of five different nations: Cayuga, Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, and Seneca.
