This constant interaction is reflected not only in the cultural materials but also in the genetic composition of the inhabitants of this area. Despite constant interaction, cultural restrictions prevented polities from intermixing and coalescent groups under the same polity formed subgroups grounded in their own identity as a result unique histories (Harle 2010; Milner 2006).

  • White-Tailed Deer a Sacred Animal
    Cherokee A Wi Cherokee Importance The Deer Clan is one of the 7 Cherokee Clans making the White-tailed Deer a sacred animal. Cherokees from this clan were the keepers , hunters, and trackers of the deer, as well as keepers of the deer medicine. Deer Clan members were swift runners and therefore, messengers. White-tailed Deer have been a staple food source for the Cherokees probably as long as the Cherokees have existed. In addition to being a major food source, deer were used as a resource to manufacture clothing and utility items, as well as being a major source of early trade and commerce. Deer antlers were also used to knap flint into arrowheads, spearheads, knives, etc. before the introduction of steel and other metals. Some of the heavier bones, such as the femur (upper leg bone), could have also been used as tools and weapons. The Cherokee story of the Spirit of Little Deer goes as follows: Little Deer was the protector of the deer. Cherokee hunters were knowledgeable in the ways of hunting the deer and prayed to the Deer Spirit out of reverence when deer were killed for food. If a hunter killed a deer needlessly and without asking the Deer Spirit’s pardon, Little Deer would track down the hunter and give him rheumatism so that he could hunt no more. Today, White-tailed Deer are still the most sought-after big game animal in the United States. Description White-tailed deer are among the smallest members of the deer family in the United States, with the largest being the moose, then elk.

  • Parasites and Skeletal Indicators of Anemia in the Eastern United States
    Parasites and skeletal indicators of anemia in the eastern United States Item Type Thesis Authors Dinneen, Erin Download date 06/10/2021 02:28:21 Link to Item http://hdl.handle.net/11122/4801 ii PARASITES AND SKELETAL INDICATORS OF ANEMIA IN THE EASTERN UNITED STATES A THESIS Presented to the Faculty of the University of Alaska Fairbanks in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By Erin E. Dinneen, B.S. Fairbanks, Alaska Title Page December 2014 iii Abstract The goal of this research is to examine the influence of parasitic infection and diet in the etiology of anemia in prehistoric human populations of the eastern United States. Prehistorically, anemia is often attributed to a nutrient-deficient diet, while parasite infection is discussed as a secondary cause if at all. However, parasite infection is a leading cause of anemia in the developing world today. Modern epidemiological studies have demonstrated that parasites thrive or perish under particular environmental conditions, and risk for parasite infection can be predicted based on environment using GIS. Here I apply this method to see whether environmental conditions, acting as a proxy for parasite infection risk, can predict prehistoric skeletal lesion rates for porotic hyperostosis and cribra orbitalia, lesions thought to reflect acquired anemia. Rates of porotic hyperostosis and cribra orbitalia in the skeletal remains of children and adults were collected from published data for 22 sites in the eastern United States. GIS was used to gather comparable environmental data. Soil drainage, elevation, precipitation, temperature and the surface area of bodies of water were recorded within a 15 km radius of each site.

Brochure Card in Context INTRODUCTION The Cherokee are a Native American people that historically settled in the Southeastern United States (principally Georgia, North Carolina, and East Tennessee). Their language is an Iroquoian language. In the 19th century, white settlers in the United States called the Cherokee one of the “Five Civilized Tribes”, because they had assimilated numerous cultural and technological practices of European American settlers. The Cherokee were one of the first, if not the first, major non-European ethnic group to become U.S. citizens. According to the 2010 U.S. Census, the Cherokee Nation has more than 314,000 members –the Cherokee language is classified as ‘vulnerable’ according to Google’s Endangered Languages Project due to that there are only an estimated 16,000 speakers – the largest of the 566 federally recognized Native American tribes in the United States of America Of the three federally recognized Cherokee tribes, the Cherokee Nation and the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians (UKB) have headquarters in Tahlequah, Oklahoma.
