  • Chapter 3 Arapaho Ethnohistory and Historical
    Chapter 3 Arapaho Ethnohistory and Historical Ethnography ______________________________________________________ 3.1 Introduction The Arapaho believe they were the first people created on earth. The Arapaho called themselves, the Hinanae'inan, "Our Own Kind of People.”1 After their creation, Arapaho tradition places them at the earth's center. The belief in the centrality of their location is no accident. Sociologically, the Arapaho occupied the geographical center among the five ethnic distinct tribal-nations that existed prior to the direct European contact.2 3.2 Culture History and Territory Similar to many other societies, the ethnic formation of the Arapaho on the Great Plains into a tribal-nation was a complex sociological process. The original homeland for the tribe, according to evidence, was the region of the Red River and the Saskatchewan River in settled horticultural communities. From this original homeland various Arapaho divisions gradually migrated southwest, adapting to living on the Great Plains.3 One of the sacred objects, symbolic of their life as horticulturalists, that they carried with them onto the Northern Plains is a stone resembling an ear of corn. According to their oral traditions, the Arapaho were composed originally of five distinct tribes. 4 Arapaho elders remember the Black Hills country, and claim that they once owned that region, before moving south and west into the heart of the Great Plains. By the early nineteenth century, the Arapaho positioned themselves geographically from the two forks of the Cheyenne River, west of the Black Hills southward to the eastern front 87 of the central Rocky Mountains at the headwaters of the Arkansas River.5 By 1806 the Arapaho formed an alliance with the Cheyenne to resist against further intrusion west by the Sioux beyond the Missouri River.

  • FOOD, CLOTHING, SHELTER Food
    COLORADO INDIANS – FOOD, CLOTHING, SHELTER Food What do these photos tell you about the food that these people ate? American Bison (Buffalo) This is a bison or American buffalo. Millions of bison once lived on the Great Plains of North America. In the 1800s, they were the largest animal native to North America. An average buffalo cow provided about 400 pounds of meat. That was enough meat to feed one person for at least 200 days. Buffalo Photo: Colorado Historical Society More About This Topic The bison lived on the blue grama and buffalo grass that grew on the plains. During the summer, when there was a lot of grass, the buffalo grazed in large herds. Some herds had several thousand animals. That was the best hunting season for the Plains Indians. The bison broke up into smaller herds during the winter, when there was less grass to eat. Their Own Words "From the top of Pawnee Rock, I could see from six to ten miles in almost every direction. The whole mass was covered with buffalo, looking at a distance like one compact mass....I have seen such sights a number of times, but never on so large a scale." Source: Colonel Richard Irving Dodge, May 1871, quoted in Donald Berthrong, The Southern Cheyenne (Norman, OK: University of Oklahoma Press, 1963, p. 31. Drying Buffalo Meat The pole in this photo holds strips of bison or buffalo meat that are drying in the sun. Removing the moisture kept the meat from spoiling. Dried meat could be kept for several months.

  • The Archeological Heritage of Kansas
    THE ARCHEOLOGICAL HERITAGE OF KANSAS A Synopsis of the Kansas Preservation Plan by John D. Reynolds and William B. Lees, Ph.D. Edited By Robert J. Hoard and Virginia Wulfkuhle funded in part by a grant from the United States Department of the Interior National Park Service KSHS Archeology Popular Report No. 7 Cultural Resources Division Kansas State Historical Society Topeka, Kansas 2004 1 Preface This document is a synopsis of the archeology section of the Kansas Preservation Plan, which was financed in part with Federal funds from the National Park Service, a division of the United States Department of the Interior, and administered by the Kansas State Historical Society. The contents and opinions, however, do not necessarily reflect the view or policies of the United States Department of the Interior or the Kansas State Historical Society. The Kansas Preservation Plan is a technical document that was developed for the Historic Preservation Department of the Kansas State Historical Society that is designed to provide the background for making informed decisions in preserving the state's heritage. The size and technical nature of the plan make it inaccessible to many who have interests or responsibilities in Kansas archeology. Thus, the following synopsis of the archeology sections of the Kansas Preservation Plan is designed as a non-technical, abbreviated introduction to Kansas archeology. William B. Lees and John D. Reynolds wrote the original version of this document in 1989. These two men were employed by the Kansas State Historical Society, respectively, as Historic Archeologist and Assistant State Archeologist. Bill Lees moved on to work in Oklahoma and Kentucky.

  • Let's Learn Arapaho
    Let’s Learn Arapaho An Introduction to the Arapaho Language By Andrew Cowell, in consultation with Alonzo Moss, Sr, Northern Arapaho Tribe Produced by: Center for the Study of Indigenous Languages of the West (CSILW), University of Colorado Copyright: Andrew Cowell First Edition: June, 2000 Second Edition, September, 2009 Note: Permission is hereby granted to Arapaho individuals and institutions to reproduce these materials for the purpose of language learning. All other reproduction is restricted by copyright. 2 LET'S LEARN ARAPAHO This is not a reference grammar of Arapaho. This means that the grammar does not present all the details of Arapaho grammar at one time. Rather, it is a progressive, pedagogical grammar, designed for teaching and learning, and it forms the basis of a potential textbook for learning Arapaho. Grammatical information is presented in a carefully sequenced way for the purposes of gradual learning, rather than in a complete manner for each topic. The grammar is intended for students learning Arapaho, and would ideally be used with a series of dialogues illustrating the use of the various grammatical features in conversations, a series of exercises for students following the grammatical explanations, a series of recorded tapes providing additional listening and practice, and a teacher equipped with a teacher's manual. Some of this material is included in this edition,a nd more will gradually be added. Because this is a pedagogical grammar, certain grammatical features are initially explained otherwise than they might be in a reference grammar. For example, in relation to verbs, we begin by talking about "stem shortening" when the verbs have prefixes.

  • Pawnee Tribe, Sioux and the Otoe-Missouri Tribe
    Plains Indians By Nicole Kotrous Chapter 1 Plains Indians By Nicole Kotrous Chapter 2 Introduction Years and years ago, buffalo and Indians roamed the plains of North America. It could be that those very buffalo and Indians roamed in your backyard! Imagine... it’s a hot summer night, you’re dashing through the seemingly endless prairie grass. Your bow and arrows bouncing against your back, sweat trickling down your forehead. Your cheeks are blotchy red from running. You look up and meet eyes with a brutal, ferocious animal. You draw your bow, and let the arrow go..swoosh! You have hit the animal. You drop to your knees and begin praying to your one and only God, Wakan Tanka. You thank him for once again feeding your family for another lengthy winter. Plains Indians In the years before European settlers came to the United States, Native American tribes lived all across the land. Several tribes lived in what we call the Plains, or the middle portion of the country. I am going to focus on five Plains Indian tribes. These include: the Ponca tribe, the Omaha tribe, the Pawnee tribe, Sioux and the Otoe-Missouri tribe. Some of these Native- American tribes were nomadic hunters. That means that they traveled all year round in search of plants, animals, food, and fresh water. They also traveled to visit and trade with other tribes. When they traded, they traded for stuff they didn’t have. For example they got horses, shells, beads, and stone that was soft enough to carve, and rock that could be chipped into weapon heads, or points.

  • Native American Games
    NATIVE AMERICAN GAMES Compiled by Chérie Haury Artz Office of the State Archaeologist University of Iowa Traditional games were played by adults and children of both genders. Some were played only by one group or the other and others were played by everyone. While some games were simple past times others were taken very seriously, much like football, basketball, or other sports today. Being known as a skilled player gave a person a certain status, like being a star football player might today. Traditional games had many purposes. Unlike today’s high tech games these games were not meant to be played alone. The games brought people together, stimulated social interaction, and strengthened social bonds. They also taught skills, patience, and endurance—virtues that would be important in adult life. BULL ROARER Used as toys, ceremonial objects, and musical instruments bull roarers are found all over the world. They are made from wood or bone on a sinew string with a small wooden handle. The toy makes a loud whirring or roaring noise that sounds like wind, rain, or a wild animal. In North America, Bull Roarers were used by Apache, Dakota, Lakota Hopi, Navaho, Omaha, and Zuni. (Lakota name Tateka Yuhmunpi) Place the wooden handle between your fingers and let the bull roarer dangle down. Set it spinning on the end of the string then twirl it over your head. BE VERY CAREFUL that no people or objects are in the way. GAMES OF CHANCE There is a huge variety of traditional games of chance involving dice made from decorated sticks, bone, or pottery discs.
