Chippewa Indians

Travel in the north woods was extremely difficult on foot since there were no roads and only a few trails, mainly used by war parties. By far the easiest way to get around was by canoe, using the many waterways and lakes in that area. Canoes were light enough to be carried (portaged) short distances from one waterway to another.

Ojibwe canoes were built of birch bark over a timber frame, with a very distinctive shaped prow and stern that was different to the shapes used by all other tribes. Natives always knelt in their canoes and could paddle, apparently without any effort, for many hundreds of miles. They would simply pull into the shore and make a temporary wigwam camp overnight, then start again early the next morning.

Some of the tribes located in the far north include:

The Inuit

The Inuvialuit (descendants of the Thule of Russia)

The Yupik

The Innu (Northern Quebec)

The Dog Rib

The Inupiat (Alaska)

This is by no means an exhaustive list and hardly does the Northern Indian tribes justice as the tribes are more complex in their relations and origins than can be described here. You can find more tribes and information by visiting the link below.

hunting,singing

Native American children (Sioux particularly) played games that aided in their future as a scout or hunter. Feasts would be held for many reasons which would include eating, dancing, and singing. Hunting was not done for 'fun' or 'sport'; they hunted when they needed food.

they also threw around bison intestines

The tribes were conqered by the Spanish men and their family members were killed or sacrificed to the gods and other tribes hated them like the Tlaxcallans who helped cortes. Cortes abandoned them at last and conquered them as well.

In the United States, the Cree were located in northern Minnesota, North Dakota and Montana. The southern limits of the Cree territory were the Missouri River and the Milk River in Montana.

In Canada, Cree territory was mainly north and west of Lake Superior, in Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and the Northwest Territories.

It is difficult to generalise about native American appearance, since there is such a wide range of features even among a single tribe. The Ojibwe/Ojibwa/Chippewa/Anishinaabe people historically were of medium height and slim build. Their skin colour was fairly dark and they had sharp features, some with narrow chins and others with strong, wide jaws.

Hair was worn very long and loose or braided, but often wrapped in a kind of turban. In the 18th century men often had pierced nasal septum and wore silver or bone ornaments in nose and ears. Buckskin shirts or long moosehide coats were frequently worn.

By the 19th century clothing for men and women was almost entirely made from trade cloth and blanket material, with only moccasins being made in the traditional way. Hudson Bay blankets were worn as winter robes or tailored into "blanket coats" with hoods.

Yes they did. They usually wore feathers on them too.

Their families would have the mother, father and how ever many kids. The mother didnt just clean around the house and do dirty work. Women were actually very excallent farmers and men were normally at the meetings for the government. Men were great talkers too. I am not sure what the kids did though.

Ojibwe tribe mainly settled in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and southern Ontario around lake Superior. Yes lots of snow.

They grew corn, sqaush, beans, and pumpkins.

The Native American Indians made their moccasins out of tanned deer skins. The cords used to tie or sew the moccasins were made from sinew or fat from the deer or the buffalo.

The Chippewa Indians lived in mud and grass huts. Some lived in Tee Pees as well, but most lived in huts.

The Ojibwa people call God , "The Creator" .

teepees most of the time the chippewa would live in bare skined homes or even shellter out of rock the best kind of house they lived in is a new word that was just discoverd by arceoligist for the chippewa tribe its called the frunterikust its made out of wood,rock,deer skin,bear skin,and even dirt out of the ground some arceoligist think it was crazy but arceoligist 'robert degrand' went deep in the eastern woodlands area and went into the woods and found a wierd house that was at least 200 years old and then talked to a cheppewa tribe member that was 93 years old that had a realy bad breathing problem and he told them eaverything about it and its true starting 5/13/12 this new type of house of the chippewa tribe will be in all the history books all around the world kids,if you tell you tell your teacher about this new type of house he will give you eexxttrraa criedet on your history report this is kristina n. have a nice day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

The original Miami Indians used bows and arrows, tomahawks, and spears. Miami men also used shields of buffalo hide to deflect enemy arrows.

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.
