Australia has a warm climate so aboriginals usually slept outside. But when it did get cold in the winter they slept and lived in shelters. These shelters were made of a frame work of branches and sticks then they were covered with leaves and branches. Or the aboriginals slept next a camp fire. The native America Indians slept and lived in tipis. A tipi is a tent with a wooden pole in the middle supporting it. They were made up of 10 to 20 buffalo hides sewn together. If it was cold a fire was it in the centre of the tipi to keep them warm. 3 to 4 families could live in one tipi. They had to be waterproof, and stable and drought proof for windy conditions. Women were responsible for gathering food such as seed, berries, fruits, grubs, nuts

    The over-representation of Aboriginal children in the Canadian Child Welfare system is a growing and multifaceted issue rooted in a pervasive history of racism and colonization in Canada. Residential schools were established with the intent to force assimilation of Aboriginal people in Canada into European-Canadian society (Reimer, 2010, p. 22). Many Aboriginal children’s lives have been changed adversely by the development of residential schools, even for those who did not attend them. It is estimated that Aboriginal children “are 6-8 times more likely to be placed in foster care than non-Aboriginal children (Saskatchewan Child Welfare Review Panel, 2010, p. 2).” Reports have also indicated that First Nations registered Indian children make up the largest proportion of Aboriginal children entering child welfare care across Canada (Saskatchewan Child Welfare Review Panel, p. 2). Consequently, this has negatively impacted Aboriginal communities experience of and relationship with child welfare services across the country. It is visible that the over-representation of Aboriginal children in the child welfare system in Canada lies in the impact of the Canadian policy for Indian residential schools, which will be described throughout this paper.

    Common Mi’kmaq homes were called wigwams. Wigwams were put up by women and usually built in one day. They were made with spruce poles that were tied together at the top and the bottoms of the poles were spread out to make a triangle shape. They then took birch bark, which is waterproof, and layered the sheets over and over until the structure was covered. The top of the wigwam was left open to act as a chimney. Animal furs and woven mats were used as flooring and an animal hide was hung to cover the door opening. Paintings of animals and birds decorated the outsides of the wigwams. When the tribe would move, the birch bark would be removed and taken with them(Nova Scotia 1).

  • Eskimo Fight For Life Analysis

    While watching a video entitled “Eskimo: Fight for Life” about the daily life of an Eskimo and what they do to survive; I was very surprised to see what the living conditions were. For starters, the weather that they live in on average is about thirty- fifty degrees below zero. Although many people living in New York today may think these are extreme weather conditions, and it may be impossible for us to phantom the idea of living there; the Inuit found a method to live life blissfully when they were together while enduring the Artic environment through the outrageous temperatures. A couple of things the Eskimos did to help them survive was, build igloos to stay and sleep together under animal fur to stay warm, the men and women had their individual roles to provide for the family, and lastly they entertain themselves

    The Mountain Men had a very rare lifestyle. They ate small animals such as,rat,squirrels.Their most important food source was acorns. During autumn fall, acorns were harvested in large number of women of the tribe. The women would do all the work sometimes. The California tribes had many ways to prepare acorns. The most popular methods of preparing a acorn involved boiling the acorns before making them into soup. They lived in houses similar to the Indians in the Great Basin, but their structures were larger. Their houses were dome structures, covered in grass, and with an opening in the roof for ventilation and light. I can see myself living like the Mountain men because you can experience the things that these incredible people did in their life and bring it to mine.

    The San people were nomads. They did not live in permanent shelters but instead the women-who were responsible for building the shelters-, would use materials they could find around them and built a temporary place to live. The shelters would sometimes be built out of grass and tall sticks and could be built in less than an hour. The San did not believe in over using the land but instead had the idea that the land belonged to everyone who lived in it.
