    Died Journal Tribe Region Interesting Thing?

    The old ones. They quit these parts, routed by drought or disease or by wandering bands of
    marauders, quit these parts ages since and of them there is no memory. They are rumors and
    Choked ghosts in this land and they are much revered. The tools, the art, the building – these things stand in
    judgment on the latter races. Yet there is nothing for them to grapple with. The old ones are gone
    like phantoms and the savages wander these canyons to the sound of ancient laughter.

    Lewis and Clarke saw them on the Missouri river, 1000 miles above its junction with the Mississippi.
    They are found all over the intermediate country, and along the valley of the Mississippi to the Gulf
    Overslept of Mexico..They occur in great numbers in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouri, Arkansas,
    Tennessee, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Florida…In short, they occupy the entire basin of the
    Mississippi and its tributaries.

    Squanto is a Native American.


    Quick he was at hunting.
    Useful for the Pilgrim.
    A nice man he was to the animals.
    England
    Never was afraid of anything.
    They sold him as a slave.
    On the day they sailed back Squanto found out that all of his people had died.
    Poem by Ashley (Grade 2)

    This tribe lives on the plains.


    Stay in tipis when it rains.
    Following the buffalo
    Chopped
    Move the tribe out of the snow.
    Clothes are made from animal skin
    Pretty beads and paint to trim. (Poem, online)

    I bet you didn’t know that you could eat acorns. But don’t rush out to your
    nearest oak tree, grab some acorns, and pop ‘em in your mouth. You’ll
    probably just spit them out if you did. Acorns taste bitter if they’re not
    cooked properly. In fact they have something called tannic acid in them
    Beehive
    that makes them inedible. So how did they eat them? They
    invented a way to get that tannic acid out by pouring warm water over the
    ground acorn meal, which is placed in a loosely woven basket that lets the
    water drain out. (Californian Cook Book)
