Have you ever heard of the BlackFoot Nation? Well that is the Indigenous group I am telling you about. I did not know anything before . Here is my project
We were asked to learn about a indigenous nation and make a slide document about them.
I think learning about indigenous is not fixing what we did but help learning about what we destroyed (which is kinda depressing)
The thing that makes them diverse is when the European settlers thought all of the indigenous groups were the same. But they have different languages and religious traditions in different areas of Canada and the US.
Here are some facts I learned:
- There are many different type of indigenous groups across canada and the US
- The arrival of horses in early 1000 transformed the travel of Blackfoot – this is pretty cool
- They had a rich coulter of games and leisure activities
- This is pretty funny! Pranks and jokes were their favorite pastime! Adults were the last ppl i expected to pull pranks and kids enjoyed traditional games. Like spinning tops, it is like dreidels and beyblades – which is pretty cool!
- The Blackfoot people were known to be the strongest military powers on the north western plains!
- The live in present day Manitoba
- Blackfoot warriors called themes levs LORD OF THE PLAIN
- Oral language in additional to sign language – no matter who you were you could understand them
- The Blackfoot peo[ple were nomadic; they followed the Buffalo – their main source of food!
- The blackfoot tribes believe this is how the world was created.
It would be helpful and important and helpful to learn about the history of the indigenous people and how they believe the world came to be!
