Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day


 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??

  1. 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.

  6. The Iroquois Indians are indigenous to our area. There are lots of places that have Indian names here too.

  7. WNY 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.

  8. There were tribes all over the U.S. for sure. You three make for more cuteness too. You are all such wonderful posers.

    Since 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.

  10. I 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

  11. Here 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.

  12. That 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.

  15. Oh 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. :(
    We have to celebrate the bravery of these amazing people!
