In 1984 the Aboriginal people discovered the Gibson Desert as a home or place to stay for them. Throughout the years of them living there they did many things to help them survive in the desert. When the aboriginal people discovered the Gibson desert, it had just went through a really bad drought. he men usually go out and look for ways to feed their family such as hunting, and the women pick the berries (Ang Ashley). Some people would think that it is hard to find water in a desert, not for the Aboriginal people they have many ways, such as rock holes and soakage waters (Martumili). With the aboriginal people they have many different tribes, the most common is the Pintupi tribe (Ang Ashley). The Pintupi tribe is located between the Gibson desert …show more content…
Goanna is a certain type of species that when it bleeds or bites it has vitals that moisturize a person or the grounds if dry. When living in a desert it is hard to find shelter or even make a little “set up”, and they do not have much, so “after we ate we’d go to sleep. No blanket we would sleep on the ground.” (Yukultji) sleeping on the floor would be very uncomfortable, especially doing it for however many years they stayed. It also was a struggle for them having the temperatures of the desert rise, and then plummet as low as negatives at night. Gathering food for them to cook was not a struggle. The aboriginals did not hunt at night but they had various ways to catch there animals, one of the ideas was finding smell, claw marks, and droppings than once those were detected, they are able to take a stick, dip it in honey and then if the hair sticks to the honey the animal is near (Weston A. Price Foundation). When they try to capture the animals they use many different tactics such as smoking it out, or being able to drag it out of where it lived. Although it is a whole different story when they catch flying animals, because they take nets and hang
According to Lambert (2012. pg13) Torres Islanders and Aboriginals ownership of land were classified ‘‘outside the “advanced” nations of Europe” as Aboriginals and Torres Islanders used land for “sustainability, cultural and spiritual terms”. (Lambert 2012 pg.13) Lambert suggests “affinity to the land was not recognised by Europeans because it did not conform to the manner and procedure of land ownership recording in Europe”. Jeff Lambert debates that Aboriginals lived in Australia before the European settlers.
The Aboriginal people of Australia were here thousands of years before European settlement and we forced them to adapt to the changes of environment around them. This change might be for better or worse, but we will never find out. But with the European settlement came the birth of industry, agriculture, forestry, fishing, mining, manufacture, electricity, gas and water just to name a few.
The environment also affected the Indians shelter in many ways. Depending on where they lived, the Indian tribes had different ways of protecting themselves from the elements using the available resources, and different designs for the general climate. For example, the Indians living in the mountainous and semi-desert areas of the south west lived in light twig shacks and log huts, whereas the Inuits of the sub arctic north America built igloos, and the woodland Indians lived in bark covered houses.
This provides powerful insight into the role Bigfoot like creatures played in Native American cultures. Some tribes were not afraid of the creatures, considering them kind and helpful, while peacefully coexisting with them. Other tribes found them to be more violent and dangerous creatures. The fact that these tribes called the animals Stick Indians or Brush Indians seems to suggest that the creatures were simply other tribes they did not get along with opposed to a village of mythical creatures. Some examples of Bigfoot like creatures in Native American tribes include the Chiye – Tanka, the Lofa, the Maxemista, and the popular Sasquatch. The Chiye – Tanka was the Bigfoot like creature of the Sioux Indians (“Native American,” n.d.). This animal
They would canoe in the rivers to obtain fish, and they would also eat other meats and also some plants as well. Cree people today are still hunting. There are approximately 200,000 Cree in Canada. Western Canada is taken up by mountains which limits space. The majority of the Cree people live along Alberta.

The Cahuilla were a Native Southern Californian tribe that occupied the Riverside County, Higher Palomar Mountain Region and East Colorado Desert. The tribe was divided into two groups or moieties know as Wildcats or Coyotes. The Cahuilla lived in small clans that varied in population, and together all the separate clans made up a larger political group called a sib ”http://www.aguacaliente.org/content/History%20&%20Culture/.” The tribe was at first considered to be very simple and savage because they were never interacted with. As the Europeans and Spanish Missionaries considered the desert an inhospitable place that was better to avoid because of its lack of food resources. Little did those European and Spanish missionaries know that the land was ripe with food, only if you knew the land and the seasons. The Cahuilla were a very interesting tribe that cared and loved their land and in return the land would provide them with an abundance of food and resources. The Cahuilla had a very simple yet intricate life that involved a seasonal migration in order to gain access to different foods. They relied on different ways of acquiring food which involved both hunting and gathering.

The indigenous Australian culture is one of the world’s oldest living cultures. Despite the negligence and the misunderstanding from the Europeans, Aboriginals were able to keep their culture alive by passing their knowledge by arts, rituals, performances and stories from one generation to another. Each tribe has its own language and way of using certain tools; however the sharing of knowledge with other tribes helps them survive with a bit easier with the usage of efficient yet primitive tools which helps a culture stay alive. Speaking and teaching the language as well as the protection of sacred sites and objects helps the culture stay...
The earliest indigenous cultures of Arizona most likely lived in the region as early as 25,000 B.C. A later culture, the Hohokam who lived around 500–1450 A.D. were pit dwellers and built irrigation systems. The Pueblo culture built many of the cliff dwellings that still stand. Later, the Apache and the Navajo came to the area from Canada around 1300 A.D.
For a long period of time the Cheyenne tribe followed the buffalo. When the buffalo would migrate so would they. They used all parts of the buffalo for various things that helped them survive. They made their villages easy to pack up incase the herd left. The Women would attract the buffalo with colorful blankets when the men would shoot the buffalo with a bow and arrow. The women would do the cooking in the Cheyenne tribe. The main vegetables they would cook were corn, squash and beans. Their main sources of meat were buffalo and deer. They would make tools out of the bones of the animals they killed as well as make coats with the skin and fur. Most of the women wore animal skin skirts. The natives had strong beliefs about wasting any part of the animal so they would try to use
In conducting the research the authors outline the procedures they undertake. Firstly, they looked at the population of the Town Camps and a brief history of how Aboriginal people came to settle in Alice Springs. They also looked at the role of the Tangentyere Council in the lives of Aboriginal people and the broader community, and also the contribution of the Tangentyere Council Staff and the town campers towards the research. In the research team section, the authors see that in order for their research to become successful they need to involve both the residents living in the Town Camps and the Tangentyere Council employees to participate in the research process of their communities. The authors proposed that even though they don’t have university qualifications but they do have language, cultural, writing, and communication skills to communicate to their own people and this is important to achieve a successful research. However, these skills will help people to participate and work with one another in achieving a successful outcome. In the research training section, authors states that researchers were provided with educational training to ensure their safeness and confidence. However, this training also teaches researchers the skill of data collection for a successful research. Through this
Kathryn book Life in the Pueblo is based on excavations that she did at Lizard Man Village (Kamp, 1997). This was a small pueblo located in Arizona which is believed to be inhabited between 11th and 13th century. These ancient excavations were first carried out by United States Forest Service and were parts of Grinnell College field school (Kamp, 1997). The aim of the book was to describe Lizard Man Village and present excavation processes and analysis. Kamp 1997 offers archaeological interpretation of the site in relation to the past understandings. She bring out successfully three narratives. These narratives include ethnographic data in relationship to traditional accounts from Hopi (a place which is believed to be the first resident of Lizard Man) (Kamp, 1997). He also bring out clearly the issue of archaeology as well as fictional account basing it on both ethnography and archaeology.
Australia’s Indigenous people are thought to have reached the continent between 60 000 and 80 000 years ago. Over the thousands of years since then, a complex customary legal system have developed, strongly linked to the notion of kinship and based on oral tradition. The indigenous people were not seen as have a political culture or system for law. They were denied the access to basic human right e.g., the right to land ownership. Their cultural values of indigenous people became lost. They lost their traditional lifestyle and became disconnected socially. This means that they were unable to pass down their heritage and also were disconnected from the new occupants of the land.
Although there is no definite evidence as to where, when, or how the first settlers reached Polynesia, there are many cultural traditions that show us activities of everyday life from the past and direct to us a better understanding of the beginnings of Polynesia. Songs and lore from ancestors that were passed down from generation to generation ...
