The Native Americans
By Florence, Ruby, Anjali, Benson, Herman and Philip
Sun dance
- The Sundance was a very important ceremony.
- The Indians believed that the dance would bring pain and suffering to them selves. The more pain, the happier the spirits and the more blessings.
- The Indians would have any warrior and the warrior would have a rope stuck on to his chest and the other end would be connected to the top of a pole sticking out of the ground and the warrior would lean back which will bring pain.
The Native Americans: Were they that cruel?
“The Indians were cruel, bloodthirsty and uncivilised. They left old people and babies to die.
They made men dance with rawhide strips through their chests. They scalped their enemies.
The Indians
were peaceful
The Indians
were cruel
Scalping only came
from the Americans
and was not a actual
ritual of the natives.
Family
The Natives believed
in peace
and respect for all
living things.
They ate raw buffalo,
tearing out the meat
barbarically. Even
women did this.
Families were very
closely knit together.
They had a ritual of
the ‘Sun Dance’
War and Battle
The elders would leave
he band to
avoid slowing down the
band or being a bother
Children were
taught the honours
of fighting and
war.
The men danced with]
rawhide strips in
their chests
The natives loved their children
dearly and rarely would punish
them. Even so, the punishment
would be minor like a bowl of
water is poured on the head.
Their music was harsh and
composed of yelps,
shouts and other noises.
The women would try to have
as many babies as possible to increase
the amount of future men.
Once, a squaw killed a
young and small child
saying that he was too tiny
to travel.
A scalp to the natives was like
a ticket to the happy hunting
grounds (or heaven).
