Native american cultures

History and time - when the europeans first went to america they were welcomed by the native american people who taught them how to survive. most of the settlers felt they were better than the native people and when the natives died of european diseases they were not botherd at all.

In 1838 president jackson decided that the cherohee people could no longer stay in their homeland had to travil thousands of miles ot land unwanted by white people, this only lasted intill 1861  when the natives protested and the american army killed every man woman the child without mercy.

mythology - most native american's mythologyis based on their connection to the earth and its animals and how earths natual balance is within the animals they worship and the elements of earth water air and fire.
They worship mainly through gatherings with dancing, singing and scared chanting.


In some cases there are legends and myths of people becoming lost as a young child and being raised by animals such as wolves and rabbits "rabbit boy".


Most native americans beleave they have connections with the local animals and that sometimes aid them when in need.


spirit guide/legends - spirit guides are known to live in the cosmic relm and are also know as light beings.
hawks, wolfs and foxes are the most common reported sipirit guides but those who have unusal spirit guides are known to have odd skills aswell, ways of contacting your spirit guide through astral projection aswell as lucid dreams and medetating.


One of the most feared monster in native american legends is the tenaldooshi also know as a skin walker because it can change its apperance, they are known to appear when scared ground is destoryed or damaged to take the lives of those hook did it.


Day to Day life of a native American - consists of mainly getting food for their tribe and protecting them.
There are two groups that get the food for the tribe which takes them all to do so, there are gathers which were mainly women and children and hunters which were men it seems as if the men of the tribes though hunting wouldn’t be safe or the right place for a woman to be in
Food was hard to come by the main thing that was eaten were wild pigs and berry’s but sometimes the meat could not be cooked properly which made people ill and in this era could lead to death.
Whenever there was a full moon the tribes men and women had somewhat of a party where they would dance around the fire and chant ancient things to this day it is still done but in a more controlled manor
