Today, in the United States, it is Indigenous Peoples' Day! When we were in Bryce Canyon, we learned all about the Paiute Tribe who lived in the Bryce Canyon area dating back to 1200 A.D.! We wonder if they lived in teepees like these that we found near our campground!
If you are from the USA, do you know anything about the Native Americans in your area??
We like the look of those teepees, but being in Scotland, have no Native American in our neighbourhood. Gail says she once attended a pow wow in Oklahoma though, and remembers a lot of amazing costumes, fry bread and repetitive dancing and drumming.

ReplyDeleteHaving attended the indigenous peoples of Australia in 'corroberee', I appreciate that you have the chance to share in the earlier culture of your country - it means a lot! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
We have loads of Indian things around this area, including all the names of things.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting post. I love learning!!!
ReplyDeleteYes we have Native Americans in NC. Of course in mountain city of Cherokee, NC
and then just down the road from Raleigh in Lumberton we have the Lumbees.

The Iroquois Indians are indigenous to our area. There are lots of places that have Indian names here too.
ReplyDeleteWNY has a long history of Indian nations living in the region, and many of the Finger Lakes are named after them, like Seneca and Cayuga.
ReplyDeleteThere were tribes all over the U.S. for sure. You three make for more cuteness too. You are all such wonderful posers.
ReplyDeleteSince the publication of Tinkham, the natives of the Stanislaus region have been classified as Yokuts who occupied a 250 mile long strip in the central San Joaquin Valley and a smaller strip of the eastern foothills.
Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week. Scritches all around and my best to your mom. ♥
We have lots of Native Americans around here too!
ReplyDeleteI truly needed a laugh out loud moment and you succeeded because I really did give out a big snort! This is absolutely adorable. I consider myself a Native American because I was born here but I do know what you're talking about. Here in Florida we had several different ones the Seminoles are the most well-known and they did not live in teepees. I don't know very much about them
ReplyDeleteHere in Tennessee (and some other nearby states) the Cherokee were "relocated" on a path now called The Trail of Tears. We live near parts of it. So many died on that forced march. Apparently, not much has changed over the years.
ReplyDeleteThat must have been very interesting to see. We have been learning a little more about the tribes that our Chiefs represent. We love learning about other cultures.

I know nothing about indigenous people yours or ours, that said I liked the photo
ReplyDeleteIt is good of you to salute the true founder of the country.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, the largest in our area are the Ohlone Tribe. They once numbered 10-20,000, nows there are a little less than 4,000. Just like all Indigenous Tribes, they suffered unspeakable atrocities at the hands of our government. :(
ReplyDeleteWe have to celebrate the bravery of these amazing people!
Kisses,

There are a number of tribes in our state, and wish there was more info shared about them in schools.
