In 1492, Christopher Columbus landed in what Europeans called the 'New World'. Columbus 'found' a land with around two million inhabitants. He thought he had found a new route to the East, so he mistakenly called these people 'Indians'. These people, correctly known as Native North Americans, must have been shocked at the arrival of Columbus. Within a hundred years, Europeans were trying to settle in America. This snapshot examines what happened between these early European settlers and the Native Americans. Using primary source evidence you will investigate what the early contact was like. Were the Native Americans savage and vicious hosts? Were the Europeans unreasonable and unfair? Or did they all just get along fine? You need to find out what happened. The evidence comes from 1607. This was the year that the first permanent English settlement was established in North America, known as Jamestown. These first settlers - and those who sent them - were keen to find out about the area, keen to see how they could benefit. These settlers began to explore - and they soon encountered the Native people. Using the information they recorded, you are going to examine their initial thoughts and feelings.

First Peoples, First Contacts: Native Peoples of North America
"The dilemma of relations between Indians, minorities in their own homelands, and colonial settlers was quite straightforward. The metropolitan authorities, in England as in Spain, recognized that Native polities possessed rights. However, colonial officials often found it impossible to defend those rights, because in so doing they were required to attackmilitarilytheir own kith and kin." p. 77 "in issues put to the vote, Natives, except where in a majority, as in parts of the Arctic today, may be overwhelmed by the democratic process." p. 79 As a curator in the British Museum, King offers up hundreds of full color photographs of artifacts mostly under his care. Along with the pictures comes a mostly historical account of Native settlements throughout North America. Much of this account deals with the 18th and 19th Centuries rather than the pre-Columbus periodthe exception being the first chapter, entitled "Ancient North America", which covers only 22 pages. The geographic regions discussed include the Northeastern and Southeastern Woodlands, California, Northwest Coast, Arctic, Subarctic, Canadian Plains, and American (south)West. The prose is generally dull and awkward. Most of the text screams out for an editor. The chapters (including the final one) end suddenly, without warning. Conclusions, summaries, and interesting insights are rare. However, the 298 figures presented make the book worthwhileespecially if you can't make it to the British Museum.

The Europeans mistakenly called them Indians, thinking they had landed in the Indies in the Far East of Asia. These 'Indians' belonged to at least 300 different tribes and spoke over 2,000 different languages.
Famous examples of these tribes are:
  • the Cheyenne the Blackfoot the Comanche the Sioux
  • Each tribe spoke a separate language, and their houses, clothes and entertainment differed. However, they all followed a similar life based on hunting and farming.

    THE APACHE PEOPLE
    of the Southwestern Deserts
    Various Apache peoples (including the Navajo) came from the Far North to settle the Plains and Southwest after AD 1000 in three desert regions (Great Basin, Sonoran and Chihuahuan). The word Apache is most likely derived by the Spanish from a Zuni word meaning "enemy." Subsequently, many groups of Southwest peoples were labeled "Apache," resulting in a considerable array (40+) of "Apache" groups, often with tragic consequences. The various groups usually hunted and gathered in the more mountainous regions, but also practiced some gardening or trade for cultivated plant products (CBS). Today, the major Apache groups include the Jicarilla (New Mexico), the Mescalero (New Mexico) and Western Apache (Arizona. 15 reservations). The Chiricahua Apache were removed from their own reservation in 1876 and sent to prison in 1886. Subsequently, some Chiricahua relocated to Oklahoma and some joined the Mescalero Apache in southern New Mexico. Today, Apache groups have been very successful in ranching and recreational facilities; especially ski resorts in some of their beautiful mountain areas.

    The Navajo Nation (population 200,000) and Navajo reservation (28,000 square miles) are the largest in the United States. The Navajo (Dine') Reservation is in the Great Basin Desert region on the Colorado Plateau and occupies most of the northeastern portion of Arizona, extends into northwest New Mexico and a southern strip of Utah. The Navajo and Apache peoples are recent arrivals (sometime after A.D. 1000) into the Plains and Southwest; originating in the Far North/Subarctic. These people adapted well to the desert environs, with the Navajo employing hunting and gathering, farming (CBS) and sheepherding. The Navajo learned pottery and weaving from the Pueblos, but adapted sheep's wool to weaving and refined the art by creating large, spectacular blankets. Navajo jewelers are also some of the most renowned in the Southwest. During World War II, the Navajo language was one of the Native American languages used to create cryptographic codes that were never broken.

    Overview of the Far North
    The region known as the Far North area extends more than 5,000 miles, all the way from the Aleutian Islands in Alaska to Labrador in Canada. Although most of it lies in northern Alaska and northern Canada, the culture area also includes territory in Siberia (part of Russia) to the west, as will as in Greenland (part of the kingdom of Denmark) to the east. The Arctic Culture Area touches upon three oceans-the Pacific, the Arctic and the Atlantic. The climate of the Far North is fierce. Winters are long and bitterly cold, with few hours of sunlight. In the northernmost latitudes of the Arctic beyond the Arctic Circle, the sun never rises above the horizon for part of the winter, resulting in the phenomenon known as the midnight sun. Likewise, for part of the summer, the sun never sets below the horizon. During the long winter, the land is covered by ice. The subsoil never thaws, remaining frozen all year in a state known as permafrost. When the surface ice thaws during the short summer, the water does not drain, but forms numerous lakes and ponds along with mud and rising fog. The Arctic Ocean freezes over in the winter, and then breaks up into drift ice during the summer thaw. The cold Arctic has little precipitation. It is actually a frozen desert. Arctic blizzards are not characterized by huge amounts of snowfall. Rather, gale-force winds stir up what surface snow already exists, forming snowdrifts.

    ENVIRONMENT: Native North Americans Divided Over Oil Drilling Plan for Arctic Refuge
    By Paul Weinberg TORONTO, Jan 4 (IPS) - Aboriginal peoples in the far north of North America are expressing strong differences over the proposed drilling for oil and gas in the 7.6-million hectare Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in the US state of Alaska. On the opposing side are the 7,000 Gwich'in Indians half of who live in Canada's western Arctic while the rest reside on the Alaska side. More supportive of the development are Alaska's Inupiaq Eskimos. US president-elect George Bush, formerly an oil industry businessman himself, is expected to approve the proposed development in what has been described as a rich natural territory of polar bears, grizzly bears, musk oxen, a large herd of caribou and hundreds of species of birds. Bush and Republicans in Washington are seeking to protect the United States buffeted by higher oil and natural gas prices from excessive dependence on non-US sources of energy. Petroleum industry estimates have put the amount of recoverable oil in the ground in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge as high as 16 billion barrels ¡ apparently enough to replace US imports of oil from Saudi Arabia for more than 30 years.

    • TILLAMOOK "The Tillamooks are actually a southern branch Salishan family of tribes which occupied the coastal area of British Columbia from the Strait of Georgia south through the Puget Sound area of Washington State, along the coast as far south as the Siletz River, Oregon, except around the mouth of the Columbia River (occupied by the Chinook). The Coast Salish practised the wealth and gift distribution ceremony known as the Potlatch. They generally lived in cedar plank houses facing rivers or the sea; and have a tradition of complex wood-carving art which weakened to the south into simpler art forms. Two dominant subsistence and material resources among the Salish were salmon and red cedar, and they excelled in basketry and textiles. They were essentially a river and bay people in a heavy forest area with a moist, mild climate." "The Tillamook and closely related bands, Nehalem and Nestucca, lived around the Nehalem and Salmon Rivers in present Tillamook County, Oregon, and were the largest Coast Salish group south of the Columbia. Lewis and Clark estimated the group at 2,200 in 1805, but they had declined to 200 by 1900. A few Nestuccas appear to have been reported amongst the Grand Ronde Indians. The census of 1970 gave 139 for the whole group." Source Source History of Tillamook County Source Tillamook from the U of O Linguistics site.

    Oklahoma valley near the Poteau river Following the War of 1812 (1812-1815) the U.S. government decided to move Native Americans west of the Mississippi River to open up new land for white settlers from the East. One of the nation’s most populous Native American regions covered western North and South Carolina, eastern Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, and Mississippi and was inhabited by the Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, Seminole, and Cherokee. Whites referred to these peoples collectively as the Five Civilized Tribes because they resembled European nations in organization and economy, and because they quickly incorporated many European imports, such as fruit trees, into their way of life. For generations these peoples had been powerful commercial and military allies of European colonial powers, and many had adopted white styles of dress, agricultural and commercial practices, and politics.

    (later U.S. senator from Oklahoma) Acculturation, however, had not won them friendship with whites.

    http://www.ncf.carleton.ca/~bz050/HomePage.bfna.html
    Credit: Henry Franzoni I met Gayle Highpine, a Kootenai Indian, at a monthly meeting of the Western Bigfoot Society. She had published the following paper in a very early Track Record, and gave me permission to reprint it here on the conference. Gayle has traveled extensively among the various reservations and enclaves of North American Indians for the last 30 years. She was a member of A.I.M., the American Indian Movement, during the '70s. A female Indian who was always interested in the old ways, she was and is very interested in learning more about Sasquatch, and she has listened attentively to many medicine men's Sasquatch stories as she traveled from reservation to reservation. I think her paper gives a good basic survey of Native American thought on the subject, and I find her obervation of the apparent division between "Flesh and Blood", thinkers and "Spiritual/Mystical" thinkers highly enlightening. P.S. The Kootenai tribe's home basically is southeast British Columbia. Attitudes Toward Bigfoot in Many North American Cultures
    By Gayle Highpine "But, special being as he is, I have never heard anyone from a Northwestern tribe suggest that Bigfoot is anything other than a physical being, living in the same physical dimensions as humans and other animals. He eats, he sleeps, he poops, he cares for his family members. However, among many Indians elsewhere in North America... as widely separated at the Hopi, the Sioux, the Iroquois, and the Northern Athabascan Bigfoot is seen more as a sort of supernatural or spirit being, whose appearance to humans is always meant to convey some kind of message."

    Native Americans and John Wesley
    In England, John Wesley , Methodism's founder, was appalled by the atrocities Europeans committed against Native Americans. He poured out his moral outrage on European Christians, including the English colonists. In his sermon " A Caution Against Bigotry ," Wesley doesn't gloss over anything: Even cruelty and bloodshed, how little have the Christians come behind them! And not the Spaniards or the Portuguese alone, butchering thousands in South America: not the Dutch only in the East Indies, or the French in North America, following the Spaniards step by step: our own countrymen, too, have wantoned in blood, and exterminated whole nations; plainly proving thereby what spirit it is that dwells and works in the children of disobedience. Tragically few listened to Wesley. Warfare against Native Americans continued until the end of the nineteenth century as the United States moved westward. This expansion was inspired by the nation's " manifest destiny ." Manifest destiny was the belief that the United States was destined or chosen to occupy all the geographical territory between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. This idea was very popular in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Native Americans were viewed as obstacles to "manifest destiny."

The peices were knapped laterally and there is a ridge toward the center of each piece making them quite thick. After the archaic period a finer method of flint knapping came into use that changed the art forever. This spear head, pictured above, was found on Fishing River in Ray County Missouri in October of 2001. It is 5.cm L x 2.cm W x 0.5cm thick. The piece is gently fluted verticaly from the base. The grey and tan projectile is banded and the chert is from local resources. I have identified this as dating from early archaic (5-7,000BC) associated with similar peices refered to as Rice contracting stems. The Archaic Period This small green granite axehead is from the archaic period and is nearly perfect. This coarse material that was glacially deposited here would be extremely difficult to fashion into such a smooth and semetrical shape. Three of its four qaurters have a distinctive groove that was used to haft the axe to a handle. It is presumed that deer antlers were a likely resource for these handles.

    At certain periods during the Pleistocene epoch, the temperatures turned cold enough to freeze much of the earth's water into ice. The sea level dropped as much as 90 m (300 ft) and the shallow Bering Strait between Alaska and Siberia became a natural land bridge on which grazing animals, and the humans who stalked them, passed. Most anthropologists believe that Native Americans descend from Asian peoples who moved into North America by way of this land bridge.
