    I traveled to Arizona a few weeks ago and went to a National Monument called Montezuma's Castle. This monument was built by the Sinagua Indians who were cliff dwellers in 1100 a.d.

    I am working on the Sinagua Indian tribe from Arizona. I think they are interesting because they were cliff dwellers in 1100 AD. Their remains are a National Monument called Montezuma's Castle

    My tribe is the Shawnee. They lived in the Eastern Woodlands. The Shawnee tribe was kind of confusing. They had different groups within a village. In those groups, they had smaller groups.

    I did the Shawnee Native Americans for my project. They lived in Ohio. I think they are kind of interesting because they fought in the Revolutionary War, and they are not a very common native american group

  10. Anna I did the Navajo Indian tribe. I thought they were intersting for their arts and crafts. When the would make rugs or blankets they would set up a loom outside in the summer and weave. They sometimes made large rugs. They also did that during the winter but they didn't set up a loom and do it outside, so they did it inside their hogan. They would weave patterns on the blankets or rugs. They were also known for their jewlery. Their color was turqois. They got the color from a plant. They would trade it and get clothes or food. They would also trade their woven blankets or rugs.

    The Chippewa Indians were a tribe that planted crops and hunted game you could just call them hunter gatherers. They also got their food from the woods ex. berries, nuts, and turkeys. They caught the turkeys with snares. When the chippewa won a war which they had alot of them the got to smoke tobacco, and if their was a rain they would burn tabacco. They thought the tabacco would calm the storm down.
    The chippewa fuaght with many differ tools such as arrow heads, spears, knives, bows and arrows, and wood.

    I am researching the Navajo Indians for my native american project. What i find interesting about them is that they helped in World War 2. They were called code talkers. They created a code that was never broken. The Navajo live in the southwest. They are traditional yet modern. They live in hogans. They make silver work and wool weaving.

    My tribe is the Ojibwe. The Ojibwe lived in the upper United States This tribe were manly hunters and gatherers. They usally made wigwams to live in. They made the wigwams by using trees to form a frame, and then they covered it with birchbark. The Ojibwe is another name for the chippewa. The Europeans thought th ojibwe said their name was the chippewa.

    The Cherokee are a very interesting tribe. They make a lot of different arts. They make pottery, baskets, and paintings. The Cherokee got moved from North Carolina to Oklahoma because the white men wanted them to change religions but they did not. Then the white men kicked the Cherokee out of North Carolina.

    The eskimos are very interesting because of their lifestyle and customs. One custom is that when babies are born they are given special amulets.The Eskimos eat many thing including fish, seals, walrus, and sometimes even a polar bear. They have many tools such as drills and many knives. The men hunted and the women did the skins.

    I had the Apache. Anyone that thinks the Apache are barbaric is wrong. The Apache were like like any other tribe with differet beliefs, tools, houses, and so-on. The Apache lived a hunting way of life. They went to war a lot, but didn't kill out of cold blood.

    My tribe is the Sioux. They lived in the Dakotas, Montana, Nebraska, and Wyoming. They had lots of customs. At birth a baby was put in a cradleboard and stayed there until he or she was two. They would take the baby out to eat,and bathe. They hunted lots of buffalo. When the buffalo was butchered, none of it was wasted.

One interesting thing that my tribe wold do every summer is that they would hold a ceremony called the Green Corn Dance. Another thing that the Seminole would do is that thet would make dolls called palmetto dolls. They would sell them at The Green corn Dance. The Seminole lived in a house called a ''chikee''.

    I did the Chinook. They weaved baskets and mats out in the sun all day. The upper class Chinook flattened their babys head. They also (at the age of ten) a Chinook boy was sent out on a vision quest. A vision quest was were they went out into the woods and look for their gurdian spirit. A guardian spirit was a animal or object that they believed guided them through their whole life and never left them.

    My tribe is the Navajo Indians. I picked them because they sound interesting. What I like most about them is that they make their own clothing, hunt for their own food, and make their own shelters by themselves. They are a very creative tribe, and their jewerly is magnificent.

    my project is on the Navajo Indians. They live in homes called Hogans. They don't live in villages. They live in small towns so they could have miles of beautiful land. A Navajo woman would never look at her son-in-law. They raised sheep for food and shaved their wool for warmth in the winter. Sand-painting is their most popular art. They were located in the states of Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, and Colorado.
