There are many American Indian tribes that had impacted the United States the most, but one tribe that had directly impacted the United States the most is this tribe, Chippewa, there are many things that are going to be reveal to learn why they were once enemies and now allies. It is known today that the regions of North America’s Great Lakes are homes to many American Indians and the group that had settled in these regions are called Algonquian (Ditchfield 5).
Tribes of Native Americans use special rituals (dances) to ensure their lifestyle and things that are important to them such as hunting or farming. These vary from tribe to tribe. We see major differences in dances between tribes that hunt and tribes that farm. For example, a nomadic tribe that hunts would have dances honoring respected totem animals, animals upon which they depend or which could teach them necessary skills. Agricultural tribes, however, generally danced in imitation of sowing and gathering crops (Lihs).
Members of one totem didn't necessarily have to live in one band and could be spread out among them. Clans were not simply a product of traditions, they had a function as well.

They were allowed to vote on the outcomes in both domestic and public situations or changes to the tribe, which was though sacrilege within many other cultures of the world.
The Natives are proud of their culture and would practise rituals to appease Mother Nature. Their rituals or dances were seen as uncivilized, and in some cases, scared the white settlers living on Indian lands. Soon, the government “…made it a crime for American Indians to practice tribal rituals within their borders. Chiefs who led such religious ceremonies would be fined and jailed” (Dudley 66). The Americans used fear to try to “civilise” the Indians because if they were going to be near the American society they had to blend in.
