Osage Benefits

347 Words2 Pages

After the destruction of the Caddoan villages, the Osage were able to fully exploit the large buffalo herds of the plains region. Camped along the Salt Fork of the Arkansas River (present north-central Oklahoma) the Osage hunted the plentiful buffalo, which became their main source of food. Hunting took on a much greater level of importance while the Osage relied less on agriculture to fill their stomachs. The Osage spent increasing amounts of time away from the village hunting. By the late 1700’s, Osage men spent eight out of every twelve months hunting. Specific trips were made to hunt the bear and beaver that were valuable to European traders but traditionally had little worth to the Osage. Osage women increasingly neglected their garden

    It is very interesting to see how almost everything that Cherokee people knew as a norm differed as they became more in touch with global trade and European powers. Perdue began the second part of the book addressing how the European trades and trips to the Cherokee society had quickly used hunting and war to place men above women.

    Likewise, compared to those diets enjoyed by groups in northern California and the Pacific Northwest as far back as 4000 B.C., which were rich with nutritious stock like fish and shellfish, the game-hunting in the east was less reliable. While at first the big animals of the continent were bountiful to the newfound populations they had not yet learned to fear, their numbers quickly dwindled during the “Pleistocene overkill” (Page, 36). One area whose populations did not suffer from the absence of these large mammals was the Pacific coast, an observation that is notable despite the real absence of what were likely some of the most informational sites that archaeologists could have hoped to

  • Pros And Cons Of The Indian Removal Act Of 1790

    Native Americans who emigrated from Europe perceived the Indians as a friendly society with whom they dwelt with in harmony. While Native Americans were largely intensive agriculturalists and entrepreneurial in nature, the Indians were hunters and gatherers who earned a livelihood predominantly as nomads. By the 19th century, irrefutable territories i.e. the areas around River Mississippi were under exclusive occupation by the Indians. At the time, different Indian tribes such as the Chickasaws, Creeks, and Cherokees had adapted a sedentary lifestyle and practiced small-scale agriculture. According to the proponents of removal, the Indians were to move westwards into forested lands in order to generate additional space for development through agricultural production (Memorial of the Cherokee Indians).

European traders came to America and traded with Natives for the pelts of animals. This resulted in beaver fur traders’ supply getting so low that they “could flatly declare that they had none,” The beaver, along with other fur bearing animals, had been hunted so extensively that the species became scarce.

The Dawes Act allowed the President of the United States to survey the reservations Indians lived on and allot its land to heads of households, single persons over eighteen, and to orphans. This meant that the President went into reservations and redistributed the land, upsetting the system Native Americans had previously. Slave owners of the Antebellum South believed that the Black men and women needed to be enslaved, for they could not function without a patriarchal master. Westerners too saw the Native Americans as inferior, and felt that they had to help the tribal people be free of
