Native--American--Indians

    I find it so interesting when reading a script or taking into account of understand something and relate to our history today can draw similarities and differences from years back. Scholars make myths and are known to make stories which we can easily draw information from. As historians history also shows how events have evolved over time. Native American history has all types of evidence to prove who they were, why they were here, what they do, what they ate, what they did, and all the W's that have to associate with them. When reading the short script from Chapter 1 shows how we should better understand the indigenous people and how to draw relationships to them. "The indigenous people are known to have external, environmental, and cultural influences" (Martin). There were many advancements that the Native American people had brought to the plate. There was a flute and spears that were invented which I thought was very interesting because flutes are a very significant type of instrment in some countries and religions it has a very important meaning of who and how they are playing it. Paloe-Indians had been around from 12,000 to 6,000 B.C. had brought more inventions and it was very interesting to see how they also adapted  to the way of living. There have been many phases when the Americans look at history in general. The reading goes into the different phases such as Native American History phase which is known as the Paleo-Indian phase, the Archaic Phase, Post archaic phase, and European phase. The Archaic phase had consisted from ca. 6,000 to 500 B.C. The East and West had alot to offer as well. The population which were in greater numbers and central villages. The variety of Indian responses to the Europeans have been around for centuries. 500 B.C. to A.D. 1500 was known to have ways of employing demographic and environmental influences. 

       Very facsicnating to know that the "Hopii" people were there for a cause as well. 

There were many advantages of agriculture, due to the population increase. Much more shift into the production of development such as hunting with the bow and arrow was the most efficient activity when it came to hunt, that is what most of the Native American's had used. There was a section in the reading where family had came to role with the Native American's and how they had a session where they did traditional-carved roles and activities where everyone contributed and did there share. Reminds me of when I go up to the Sikh Temple and help the kids with outside activities, we work with similar outside like objects then take time to explain what the activity had consisted of. Mostly they would say something like why they did the carving or drawing they did and what it symbolizes to them. 

        Indians have a sense of holding land, tribal meanings, sources, and money. We have to remember that the Native Indians have established themselves to what we perceive to be our world and land today. The land and its attraction tie families together. Very surprising to see how British North America that was once known became the USA! "Empire for liberty" as the reading shows us. We should take into account that our country was just not produced to be the United States of America, but what people where here before us. What ethnic background did they come from, and what history can we draw from the experiences, hard work, and dedication surely! As some might view the world as "Amerindians" I see it as the land of free and respect on the grounds we live on.
