i am mikmaq indian in english mic-mac
i have band number and i have a tribe.
my tribe is shubenacadie , land of the ground nuts.
some people say it refers to potatoes.
our colors are red yellow black and white
our symbol of inited we stand and the seasons.
we speak english there and some speak indian.
a popular word is mali pronounced Molly!
it means mary mother of god , or another reason to say your surprised by the outcome of whatever is happening.
Niskam is god
the creator
never question him ,
he is the father and for most indians he is in the sun.
we have a favorite bread , it is called four cents.
it is doughe you cook in frying pan and you eat it with jam or peanut butter or just butter and drink it with tea.
a cheap favorite.
the importance of life is simple Happiness! that is it
everyday when you see you friends you hug them or shake their hand. when you do this it makes the creator happy that his children are getting along. therefore he can go ahead
and get prayers answered with out any interruptions.

robert michael /red star | April 3, 2009 at 5:11 am
we don’t mind being called indians, we now prefer it.
alot of the english settlers tried to save us when small pox broke out. many of the slaves nursed us back to health.
he repaid this by hiddening them out in canada.
back in the day from boston to nova scotia.
some native americans were slaves also by choice when times were bad and there was no food available.
slavery wasnt always bad. some white folks fed you and gave you money to get what you needed back home.
no all people are bad , let’s clear that right now.
love your neighbour because he will save you.

WHAT THE HELL HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT, AROUND HERE THE REASON WHY WE GOT SMALL PATS WAS FROM THE BLANKETS THAT THEY WERE HANDING OUT AND THATS WHY ALOT OF OUR ELDERS AND SMALL CHILDREN PASSED AWAY. WHAT TRIBE ARE YOU FROM, TO THINK THAT SLAVERY WAS A GOOD THING. THE SHOULD OF BEFRIENDED US WE DID NEED TO BE SLAVES.

what you guys should do is make your own dream catcher
it will protect you from bad dreams.
i never have bad dreams ever
in my dreams i am always brave and stronger
i look for the enemy that hunts my animals.
another good thing to make is a medicine pouche
whenever grandma or grandpa gets sick you get your pouche
and you talk to the creator, the creator is god in english. LOL
remember the creator handles small prayers first and works on the bigger ones.

response to:
How the Native Americans move around is by walking in a group and they also travel together. The Mohawks use to be Native Americans and now they are construction workers.
laughs that is so true
but they still particpate in pow wows in great regalia

robert michael /red star | April 3, 2009 at 4:51 am
i fell upon your site while looking for a picture of an indian.
the indian you have their is a two spirited indian.
somepeople beleive they can communicate with animals.
they have a sense that others do not.
anyways i am a tribal indian and i live in modern day times with you. right now i am in boston mass but my reserve is in shubenacadie nova scotia. i have lived on an indian reservation and its alot different from the society you know.
it is a bit wild and yes we do talk to animals.
some just have an extra sense to understand them.
when danger is near you will hear the blue jays.
crows making noise means theres an owls nest nearby.
crows dont like owls. they fight them . that is a nother indian story.

Hello fourth grader class
my name is robert michael , also know as red star.
i am native american and i am here to answer questions that aren’t being answered.
first off :
“we never traded the land”
“we dont want our land back”
we simply said in indian “please take care of the land”
no chemical dumping was ever recognized in our treatys.
clean up mother earth and stop killing her.
when your outside pick up after yourself. take care of the tree and plants and recognize we are all one circle.
secondly, treat animals with respect as you would a person.
the creator put that little animal in your life to love you.
give your animals plenty of water and don’t let your animals ever be harmed or afraid.

The Plain Indians were nomadic hunters of buffalo.This meant that they had to follow the buffalo’s herd when the animals moved from place to place,looking for fresh grass to eat.This required that they be able to unpackand move to another location guickly.They needed a shelter that was portable, durable,and water resistant.The tipi was perfect for that.

Nicholas 4-305 | March 10, 2009 at 4:24 pm
Native Americans used buffalo for skin. When they killed an animal for food they would save the skin that was called animal hides.The finest clothes were made from the skins of mountain sheep,then they would decorate them with designs of porcupine quills and with beads. Last but not least for shoes they wore Moccasins, which were made of animal hides and often decorated with quills or beads.

sophia 4-305 | March 10, 2009 at 4:20 pm
I read that Native Americans used buffalo horns to make spoons. They used their hair for ropes. Also their skin for tipis.
I think the Native Americans were very smart and clever!

Neezam and Kumar | March 10, 2009 at 4:18 pm
That is nasty about the blood in the soup and eating the brain and the liver.

Ramandeep 4-305 | March 10, 2009 at 4:18 pm
Native Americans use bison for shelter.They use bison for shelter because they could make a tipi using bison skin.
36.
Dharshunie Selena 4-311 | March 10, 2009 at 4:18 pm
Native American still live in the United States .They make clothing out of feather and bison skin.They made jewelry out of teeth.And they trade thing with each others.Some people live in Long house and some lived in Wigwams.
37.
Kaela and Renee 4-311 | March 10, 2009 at 4:18 pm
Native americans use buffalo for lot of things.They use it to make soups,cloths,shoes,and jewelery.The rest of the body parts are for eating.Like the brains ,blood,liver,and kidney.I wonder how they catch the buffalo.
38.
kimranjit and salman class 4-311 | March 10, 2009 at 4:16 pm
What we learned is that native Americans horses were escaping because they were left behind. We also learned that having horses changed the way of life for the native Americans people.Also the horses definite adventures over those who moved camp on foot.When the native Americans of the plains because great mounted Buffalo hunters. native Americans hunting Buffalo because a lot easier.

Christopher and Rosemary 4-311 | March 10, 2009 at 4:15 pm
They made the Tipi out of brain tanned Buffalo skin for the tipi.
40.
Monty and Ryan 4-305 | March 10, 2009 at 4:15 pm
The main source of food they ate was the bison . They also ate the tongue, brain, and liver as well.Blood was kept to put in pudding and soup.The meat was cooked on a stew.The meat that couldn’t be eaten was made into different things.Native American of the plains tanned animal hide (skin) to make their clothing. They made their finest clothing out of deer skin or mountain sheep. They decorated their clothes with porcupine quills and beads. The Plains Indians made tipis for shelter. They made it because they needed a portable shelter. The tipi was made out of tanned buffalo skin, lodge pole pines and more.
41.
Gurprit 4-311 | March 10, 2009 at 4:12 pm
I agree with you Renee.I can’t believe that Native Americans could do so much stuff just with corn and wood.They could make dolls, clothing, and lots more things made by wood and corn.
42.
Lena 4-305 | March 10, 2009 at 4:09 pm
The Plain Indians lived in shelters called Tipis. They made their tipi out of buffalo skin. The tipi was water resistant.Fourteen to twenty buffalo hides were sewn together in a circle with swine. The fire pit was in the center of the tipi to keep warmth and privacy. When the tipi was replaced, they use the buffalo skin for clothing.
43.
Jaclyn and Antonio 4-311 | March 10, 2009 at 4:09 pm
The Native Americans use all the parts of an animals inside and outside of the animals body. Also the Native Americans now have what they needed to cook instead of catching the animals.

andrew and supinder 4-311 | March 10, 2009 at 4:08 pm
The bison was the main source of food for the native americans of the plains.The people ate not only the meat but the tongue and many other internel orgains as well.The blood was used in soup and puddings.

The Native Americans made clothing out of antolope skin,mountain sheep skin,deer skin and elk skin

Sharanjit 4-311 | March 10, 2009 at 4:08 pm
The bison was very important to the Native Americans of the Plains. They provided the people food, shelter, clothing, and almost everything else needed for survival. The Plains Indians were nomadic hunters of buffalo. The Tipi was perfect for that. The Bison was the main source of food for the Native Americans of the Plains.

Native Americans use natural enviorments by using it as a basic need to build a wigwam.They also used the bark to make a longhouse with the bark from trees.Native Americans use their natural enviorment to make clothing and jewlery.

Lata 4-305 | March 10, 2009 at 4:03 pm
The bison was very important to the Native Americans of the Plains.Without the bison, the Native Americans were not able to keep their way of life. They made their finest clothes from the skins of antelope or mountain sheep, their everyday clothes of deer or elk skins.Very often they decorated them with special designs of porcupine quills, and later, with trade beads.
52.
Akashdeep | March 10, 2009 at 4:03 pm
The Native Americans have a leader in every group. My favorite group of Native Americans are the Algonquins. The Algonquins hunted instead of farming. That is why I like the Algonquins.

Annisha 4-311 | March 10, 2009 at 4:00 pm
l know that the Native Americans build their houses 18 feet long and 65 feet wide and that means that their longhouses are very huge. Also they kill animals and they take bones from animals and make them into necklaces. So thats what the Native Americans do to survive.

Pemmican was a very popular food to take on hunting trips because it was light to carry and very nutritious. Pemmican stored in airtight containers would keep for several years.
To make pemmican, she grinds up jerky with a coarse stone, which she then mixes with melted suet and dried berries. Then she forms this mixture into strips and stores them in a container such as a buffalo stomach.
