What were paddles of the ojibwa made of?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Traditional woods for paddles (the Ojibwe word is abwi, plural abwiin) were ash or maple. Bird's eye maple makes a very attractive finished product. Interestingly, a woman's paddle was of a specific style, 4 feet 10 inches long with a blade 22 inches long and 4.25 inches wide; men's paddles were of a slightly different shape, longer and heavier.

What was the chipewyan's weapons?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Potawatomi used exactly the same kinds of weapons as all their neighbours: bows, war clubs, knives and (later) guns obtained from traders.

Potawatomi bows were about 50 to 54 inches tall, made of ash or some other hard, white wood, sometimes with one edge of the bow cut with a series of shallow curves like scallops. One such bow has these curves painted alternately green and orange. Strings were of rawhide (instead of the usual sinew).

War arrows were 23 to 25.5 inches long, made from split timber or tree shoots and fitted with just two hawk or turkey feathers and metal or stone points. Some arrows for hunting birds and small animals had no points but had swollen, blunt wooden heads and three turkey feathers. The nocks for the string were cut in a very distinctive tribal style.

War clubs came in different styles, but a favourite seems to be the "ball-headed" type, carved in one piece from hardwood with a ball on the end of a curving handle. Some had a spike or knife blade set into the ball and metal tacks were used for decoration.

Asked by Wiki User

The Cree tribe lived in buckskin tepees.

===========================================================

Answer: There is definitely no such thing as a "buckskin tepee". The very far-ranging Cree people historically lived in two types of dwelling: birch-bark-covered wigwams in the woodlands area, and buffalo-hide tipis on the northern Great Plains.

What is the daily life of the Ojibwa Indians?

User Avatar

Asked by PlecoBoY

Depends on the time period. It could be as great as playing around and tagging along with the parents as they work or hunt or as bad as being left outside the igloo to starve to death. Hunter Gathers often faced periods of starvation, it wasn't always the land of plenty and the very old and very young were most vulnerable.

What does a dream catcher do to bad dreams?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Dream catchers catch the bad dreams floating around at night and the bad dreams die at the break of day and fade away because dreams are a thing of the night and cannot live through the light of day. The good dreams however are sent to the feathers that then send the good dreams to you.

What is the ojibwe words for little wolf?

User Avatar

Asked by Maiigan

I think it is something like Makeyan. But im not sure if that is spelled right.

==================================================

The Cree word for wolf is mahihkan; this can also be spelled mahikan. The prefix meaning small (of animate objects) is apist- or apis- so a small wolf would be *apismahihkan. This word is only theoretical (hence the *) because a small wolf is a coyote, which has a different translation.

What are the physical characteristics of native Americans?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Physical characteristics of the Native American Indian would sole depend upon the tribe, clan and family lineage you were referring to. There is no single characteristic that translates from tribe to tribe. Though some physical characteristics include Almond shaped almost oriental looking eyes. Lazy eyes in children. Heavy "fat" eyelids where the eyelid appears to have an extra fold. A melanin (pigmentation) in the back of the eye on the retina peculiar to Native Americans. Teeth that have a ledge on the backside. Run your tongue across them, they feel almost like a shovel shape. Large front teeth with a slight or more than slight gap. Lack of the Carrabelli cusp on the maxillary first molars, which is missing in Native Americans. Large heavy earlobes. Crooked fingers particularly the little finger or pinky. An inverted breastbone. Often called a Chicken Breast. The bone actually makes an indentation in the chest.Little toes that lie under the next one. A second toe longer than the big toe. A wider space between the big toe and second one. An extra ridge of bone along the outside of the foot.

What are the beliefs of the Native American Cree Tribe?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

According to Cayuga tradition, a supreme creator, Orenda, was recognized in the festivals held for harvest, maple sap, strawberries, and corn. An eight-day event in midwinter was held to forgive past wrongs.

In the early nineteenth century the teachings of Handsome Lake became popular among Cayuga. Handsome Lake was a Seneca who taught about Jesus and also blended the traditional celebrations with Christian-style confessions of sin and urged Native Americans to stay away from alcohol. His teachings eventually were incorporated into the Longhouse religion, which continues to have followers today.

What American Indian tribe is the largest?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This is arguable. If you only include the United States, then the Cherokee have the largest registered population (as of the last census I saw). If you include North America then the Chippewa (Ojibwa) tribe is the largest. The Chippewa tribe encompasses 99% of all land currently defined as Canada.
