Where did the SALISH region lived?

The salish Indians were from Washington state around the puget sound and seattle area.Edit: Salish is a language spoken my many tribes, so there are no Salish Indians unless you count the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes of the Flathead Reservation in Montana. Other than that tribes who speak Salishan languages live from the southwestern coast in British Columbia, south to northern Oregon, and west to about half of Montana. There are, of course, other language-speakers tribes there as well.Also, "The salish Indians were from Washington..." Native Americans, American Indians, First Peoples, whatever you want to call them are still here. They did not disappear, and therefore must not be spoken of in the past tense. They are not an anachronism.

Were there ten or twelve tribes of Israel?

Twelve: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, and Benjamin.Additional Comment:If one considers the 'adoption' of Joseph's two sons - Ephraim and Manasseh - by Abraham and included them in the blessings (they receiving the birthright promises, specifically Ephraim first), then you can count 13 tribes. See below:Genesis 48:5New King James Version (NKJV)5 And now your two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you in Egypt, aremine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine.

What Indians were native to New Jersey?

The northern part of what is now New Jersey was occupied by the Minisink or Munsee tribe; the central and south-east part was home to the Unami tribe and the south-west part was occupied by the Unalachtigo tribe. Collectively these tribes are known as Leni Lenape or Delawares. Each tribe was divided into small bands including the Acquackanonk, Hackensack, Munsee, Kechemeche, Nanticoke, Navesink, Pompton, Ramapough, Rumachenanck and Tappan. Some historians count each of these bands as tribes in their own right, since they were entirely self-governing and made decisions without reference to any other parts of the Delaware group.

What is the purpose of the winter count?

What tribe had the largest numbers a the little big horn?

Nobody took the time to count who was or wasn't present - native Americans were never big on statistics and the troops had more important things on their minds.It is estimated (meaning guessed) that there were 260 lodges of Hunkpapa Lakota (around 1,300 people of all ages); there were around 240 lodges of Oglala Lakota (about 1,200 people) with smaller contingents from the other Lakota tribes, the Cheyenne and Arapaho.In theory the Hunkpapa had the largest numbers, but without the assistance of a time machine and the improbable task of counting those present without getting scalped and mutilated, we can never know.


Who were the Cheyenne's enemies?

Just like the neighbouring Arapaho, the two main Cheyenne divisions (northern and southern) varied from being at war with other tribes and being on peaceful terms with them. Sometimes the Cheyenne were at war with the Lakota Sioux and Arapaho, but generally they were on friendly terms with them. They also carried out occasional raids against the Comanche and Kiowa in the south, or against the more distant Crows, Pawnees, Utes and even Blackfoot and Plains Ojibwe (Chippewas). The main purpose of these raids was to steal horses, but small scale battles were sometimes fought and scalps taken; they also (crucially) provided opportunities for Cheyenne warriors to count coup and obtain war honours. Since all Plains tribes were essentially warrior-based societies, opportunities such as this were essential.
