Inuit and Haida
By:Angellee Sisneros
Although the Inuit tribe is from the arctic the Haida tribe is from the northwest woods, they have very different life styles. Things such as how they travel, their housing, the clothing they wear vary due to their living environments. These two tribes also have some similarities from their religious beliefs to the type foods they eat. Both tribes have strong core values and traditional native languages.
The Inuits traveling and housing is different from the Haida tribe. Some differences are due to their climate, it can affect how they travel. The environment can also dictate how their housing is built, the environment where they live is vastly different so it changes the styles of houses they live in. The Haida people live on a coastal island off of southeastern ` Alaska and British

They both believe in medicine men and women. When the Haida people were sick their medicine person would use drums and dances to try and heal people. The Inuit people practiced animism which is based on all living and nonliving objects having spirits. In curent time both tribes speak english. Haida elders speak their native Haida language. Which is make up of a series of sounds. The Inuit tribe spoke their native language of Inuktitut.
Even though both of these tribes have many differences you can find, both tribes pull their ways of life from their varying living environments that affect their ways of life. Each tribe has put to use each of their unique environments to help their people thrive and live in their own special conditions. Each tribe has traditional religious beliefs and languages that are similar but are very different people. People would probably assume all “Eskimo” people are the same and try to lump them into one category but when you look closely into each tribe you can see how unique and special each and every tribe
Ponnada 1 Sahithi Ponnada Mr. Kozlowski ENG1D1-11 Dec 10, 2022 Tansi Kesihtwahk: The Portrayal of Culture through Symbolism The British author Jay Griffiths states, “If people can’t acknowledge the wisdom of Indigenous cultures, then that’s their loss” (The Scotsman 2013). Indigenous culture in Canada is one of the most distinct cultures in the world. It has unique social, political and economic institutions as well as distinctive language, heritage, practices and beliefs.

Aboriginal people taught their children the Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) about the area they lived in and how to live off the land. They also taught important morals through fictional stories they made. The First Nations people taught everything orally. They had no form of writing. Most people at the time thought of the First Nations as primitive for their nomadic lifestyle and way the First nations were taught.
These myths show that these tribes were more different than alike. The first common theme in both stories is the role of animals. Native American society is well-known for its placement of animals in its mythology, though what these roles are exactly differs from tribe to tribe. The Modoc tribe of Oregon and California, claim to be descended from grizzly bears in “When Grizzlies Walked Upright” (WGWU).
There are plenty of different Native American tribes in the USA. Today I will be talking about the Navajo and the Shoshone/Shoshoni indians. I will be comparing their homes, diet, and lifestyle. Both have many similarities and differences that I will be talking about. First of all, both tribes have very different homes.
The first way the two cultures are different from each other is religion. The main United States religion is Christianity. Christians normally pray to one god at certain time periods. The Navajo Nation has different ways they pray and different rituals.
Each tribe or empire of the Americas had their own unique technique or style that made them different. Regardless of their differences, they all were superior in their own ways and they each made a customized mark on history. The following paper will be summarizing things from each tribe or empire. For example, government or religion. There were four tribes/empires that made up the tribes of the Americas.
As in both they have a place dedicated for business. Both deal with provision for land and addition. Both have Symbolism that can link together. The Iroquois had a type of throne made out of thistles while the U.S. has an Eagle holding thirteen arrows meaning unity and a tree branch from an olive tree that means an extension of peace. Within both constitutions there are two houses, in Iroquois there are two groups who look at decisions just like the American but in the American Constitution the president makes the final decision.
Some differences in the stories Iroquois and the Judeo Christian is having an almighty god. In the Judeo Christian story they believe that god created the heavens and the earth. Unlike in the Iroquois story where they believe that there is no almighty god and that the earth was made on a turtle's back. In the Iroquois story animals play a huge part starting with the two birds breaking Sky Womens fall. Also in a way they are viewed as a god or a power source.
Even though they share common ideas, they are quite different, for example, their stories were passed on differently. Native Americans are indigenous natives of the Americas. Their literature incorporated culture with a written language and oral tradition that captured their ideals. For example, stories,
On the eve of European arrival to the Americas, the Native Americans were prosperous within their tribes and their population was abundant. Although the American Indians had indigenous cultures and spoke numerous languages, most aspects of their lifestyles were similar. Furthermore, the Aztec, Mayan, and Inca empires were large and complex societies, who practiced human sacrifice and created intricate systems according to their way of living. Conversely, the Pueblo people of the Southwest were less advanced and less populated compared to these empires. However, the Pueblo people were skillful in developing different waterways for their agriculture system, they successfully domesticated animals, and they had similar housing structures compared
Rachel's brings up the point of Eskimo mothers frequently killing their female newborns after birth, without any emotion affecting the action. That goes to say that Eskimos are a nomadic
Native Americans have a really diverse culture and one report is not enough to talk about all of their cultures. They have fourteen tribes so it is obvious that they will have a lot of different cultures and traditions between all fourteen tribes. It is impossible to have fourteen tribes with different people and expect them to all believe in the same things so some of them have different beliefs and different traditions. They worshipped a lot of gods and even some of the gods had dolls made for them. Some tribes worshipped the sun or fire or some serpents.
While some of the cultural norms and expectations varied slightly amongst the members of the Sioux, Navajo, and Cherokee tribes, it seems as though the cultural communicative behaviors and/or many of the norms and expectations were overall exceedingly similar across these three tribes. Thus, we feel that while culture may vary slightly across tribes through their rituals and ceremonies, cultural values and identities were more related and applied throughout the general Native American heritage, rather than being tribe
Nevertheless, the Native American also known to as the Red Indians and the Settlers had differences in many aspects of their economy, religion, and culture. In some situation, it is hard to identify their disparities. On the other hand, the dissimilarities are easily identified. Additionally, there are similarities between these two nations.
