Post a response to the webpages on my blog, including information about the following:

1. Write three things you discovered about the cultures explained in the web pages.

2. Note at least one similarity or difference from the culture you studied.

3. Ask at least one question that you think should be answered about the cultures you read about.

4. Make one comment about the design and layout of the web page you visited. Be sure your comment is constructive/helpful. Be polite but truthful.

The american indians did interact with other tribes. They traded meat food and crops. The natives had lots of art. They dressed up for special occasions. The natives did not have very complex weapons. They used spears. Later they started using bow and arrows. For fun the natives would play sports, some of which sound a lot more interesting to me then the sports you see on TV these days. The natives used simalar art on they're daily accesories as they do on the art on their tipis. If america is all divided up into different states now, what state(s) did they native americans walk on? One of the sights that I remember thinking was really cool was incounters with others. Each paragraph was written really well and i liked the pictures.

Ms. Mannering's class

I learned that most of the summer the Pacific Northwest Indians didn't wear clothes. I discovered that making a canoe was very hard. I found out that they made very intricate woven baskets. One difference between the Pacific Northwest Indians and The Plains Indians is that the Plains Indians wore clothes most of the time and the Pacific Northwest Indians didn't. What weapons did the Native Americans use? The website looked nice, but they didn't caption their pictures so I didn't know what the pictures were of.


Ms. Jacob's Class

The Wampanoag had many different ways of traveling. The main weapon the Wampanoag used was the bow and arrow. The Wampanoag made pottery. The Wampanoag and the Plains Indians both used bows and arrows mostly. What basic tools did they use? The layout of the webpage looked very professional. I like the background color.

Mannering-Time and Culture

The Pacific Northwest Indians are believed, to have originally lived in what we call today Mongolia, and Siberia.
From the 1890’s and before, the most followed religion was the Wakan Tanka.
Although they’re culture was nearly destroyed by Europeans, Russians, and Americans, today they are still trying to keep their traditions and appreciation for they’re art and rich history.

Farming for the Indians was mostly how they made there living and food.


Tell more jobs natives do than just farming.


It was totally awesome guys! I like the tabs, that was a really nice touch! Well done!

Ms. Jacobs- Products

Native Americans traveled on canoes, bullboats kayaks, umiaks, sleds, and toboggans.
The animals they hunt: rabbits, buffalo, deer, and squirrels. The Wampanoag Tribe’s clothing was mostly made from deerskins, although they sometimes used elk and moose hides as well.
The Wampanoag made many different types of art, both for daily use and for special occasions. That is the same because sometimes they would where a feather of something for a ceremony or just the regular for the regular day.
What kind of ceremonies did they use their art for?
I think it looks very neat full. Nice colors. Really cool. Nice pictures.

The webpage that I choose to view was the products page of Ms.Mannerings third and fourth period class. An interesting fact that I learned from this webpage was that the Native Americans had two canoes, one for work and another for family needs. Another fact was the process that the Native Americans had to undergo to make such a simple, beautiful, and elegant object. Also I found out that some Native Americans now run a casino in the state of Oregon. A similarity that I noticed about Ms.Mannerings third and fourth period class and my groups webpage was that the group told you that the Native Americans were forced from their land onto unfamiliar, cramped, and non-maintenance reservations. A question that I think should be answered about the products of Native Americans is, “what were some of the weapons that the Native Americans made to protect themselves?” the webpage was very bright and cheerful, but it did seem to lack a certain amount of originality and creativeness.

Another webpage that I visited was the daily life webpage of Ms.Jacobs eighth and ninth period class. Something interesting about this webpage was that I showed me how the native Americans healed people, and how they believed a person could get better only if they wanted to. Another fact that this webpage has showed me is that the Native Americans did not waist any part of an animal that they killed. Also I learned that the Native Americans would have the elderly men help the women of the tribe gather and farm, if they could no longer hunt. A similar characteristic that I released between this webpage and my groups was that the information was split into simple paragraphs which distributed the information better. A question I would have liked this webpage to answer is “what did the Native American men, women, and children do for fun in their free time?” this webpage was very helpful because it did not complicate the information with abstract colors and patterns, it told you head on. One thing that this webpage does need improvement on is the details of the articles.

miss manering
The organization of the Northwest Tribes’ was mostly unique in their government. This usually consisted of one or multiple chiefs and a tribal council, but government forms could vary from tribe to tribe.in the encounter with others we used one of the same web sites taht they used.what where the native reactions when they saw coulumbus.it was very nice but i thinktaht they should have added more space to the side so itwas easier to read. i also thought that they should have added more pictures but all togethr it was verry good.
miss jacobs
Native Americans found ways to travel. They used canoes, bullboats kayaks, umiaks, sleds, and toboggans. They used dugout canoes, which were made out of hollowed out logs. These could be hundreds of feet long. Bullboats were round and made out of a willow tree frame,When Christopher Columbus "Discovered" America in 1492, he thought that it was untouched by humans until he found that there were Native Americans there and took a few of them back to Spainwhat was there best way ot transportation.i really liked hte deingn it was verry easy to erad and all together i thuink taht they did verry well.

1. The Wampanoag had someone they thought was spirtual. They believed that a persons recovery was based on mental strength. The wanpanoags did not waste anything The used hoofs for glue and skin for warmth and cloths and sinew for thread
2. The wanponoags and the plains native Americans both used sinew for thread
3. What religious cermonys did the wanponoags have
4. The webpage was very organized there were one or two small mistakes but they were not that large.

1. When the salmon start coming up the river the first one is caught and skinned down to the bone and thrown back into the river shaminsim is the belief that there is a practice that can travel the mundi The northwest American Indians had many stories where the raven was the main character
2. The north west plains Indians believed that religon was important but life was nt one big religous ceremony
3. What did the native Americans do during the day?
4. I thought that the pictures had an interesting layout but that but there could have been more on what happened on a typical day.

Pacific and Northwest Indians, Time and Culture:
Mrs. Mannering, Period 3-4
1. From their webpage I learned that the most followed religion among Indians is the Peyote Religion which has 140,000 followers. The Pacific and Northwest Indians were originally from present SIberia and Mongolia. Also, the Northwest Pacific Indians had very highly developed civilizations.
2. A similarity between the Northwest Pacific Indian's culture and the Great Plain's Indian's culture was that neither area had one religion that all the tribes shared, there were many different religions.
3. How did the communicate with others?
4. I think it is really cool how they had different buttons to go to pages and is very organized and neat looking. I think they could have maybe done a better job with inserting pictures and making the text wrap around the pictures. But I really thought that their webpage was very cool and fun to look at.

Northeastern American Indians, Time and Culture: Ms. Jacobs, Period 3-4
1. I learned that the Northeastern American Indians had over 36 different religious ceremonies and rituals. Also, there were at least 68 different languages in the Northeastern area. I also learned that their first written languages were pictograms.
2. A similarity between the Northeastern area and the Great Plains is that neither one of them had a single language that all the tribes spoke, there were many different languages.
3. I would like to know about how they communicated with other tribes if they didn't have one language that they all spoke.
4. They layout of their page is really organized and neat. But, I think they should have made their pictures the same size, or at least the small picture a little bigger so it was easier to tell what it is.

hi Mr Nekrosious
I looked at Mrs Manerings class 8-9 peirod and the sturctures group.It was a realy good layaout and you could see that a graet deal of effort went into t eforming of the paragraphs and it was very detailed for one paragraph.But they dident have a bibliography. Next I looked at Mrs Jacobs 3-4 period daliy life group.This was an excellent page this group had both quality and quantity.It was very clear and detailed.It also had a good bibliography.

Ms. Mannering's class
1. Three thing I learned were, the Bella coola were very fond of fishing particular about salmon, in 1851 the “natives” formed a treaty with the “American” government, and a greatly used house was the plank house made out of long cedar planks that where secured to a frame.
2. One similarity is the Northwest Pacific tribes had the gost dance and the Great Plains tribes did to
3. When did the Northwest Pacific tribes get horses?
4. One of the web pages I visited was pretty interesting because, it took you to a different page when you clicked on their topics. It was cool but I would have put everything on one page that didn't have to click on it to find the infomation.

Ms. Jacobs' class
1. Three things I learned were that, many Native American tribes in the Northeast had a written language, they have over 36 different rituals and ceremonies, and For the Wampanoag, government was a big part of daily life.
2. A similarity is both cultures biult their own villages.
3. When did the Northeastern Native American Tribes get horses?
4. One of the web pages I saw had an Earthy back round and interesting facts but, the had only two pictures one of which was a little to small.

For the "Products" webquest from Ms. Mannering's period 8-9 Class:

I did not know that Pacific Northwest Native Americans made their clothing out of the trees native to their land. I figured that they would make them from buffalo hide, or something, because the Plains Native Amereicans made everything out of buffalo hide. I guess that maybe buffalo just are not native to the Pacific Northwest. Finally, I thought that Native American canoes were completely different to the ones I see in lakes today, but when I read the webpage, I found out that the canoes are very similar. Also, I had never thought that ANY Native Americans used weapons other than bows and arrows. However, it seems that they also used knives made of stone or bone and clubs. The Native Americans in the area I studied used bows and arrows like the Pacific Northwest Native Americans. I am still unclear on what decided who was the winner of the oral wars. Was there a judge, ordid people vote for the one who they thought made the best case? I think that that question should be answered in the webquest. Even though some questions were unanswered, the layout of the webpage was very well-organized and full of information. The paragraphs were laid out nicely, and the location of the pictures was great.

For the "Structures" webquest from Ms. Jacobs' period 3-4 class:

Even though I studied structures, I had no idea that there was so much diversity in the structures built by different Native American cultures from different areas. I studied the Plains Native Americans, and it seemed like there were just two main structures, the tipi and the wigwam. However, by reading the "Structures" webquest from Ms. Jacobs' period 3-4, I learned that Native American strucutres from the Wampanoag tribe were built by men and women alike, while the Plains Native American structures were just built by the women, and not the men. I also learned that Native Americans had structures specifically for religious purposes, such as the Ceremonial House. Finally, I did not know that the houses that Wampanoag peoples lived in were called Wetus. In fact, I did not know that their houses had any specific name at all! One question that I have about this webquest, though, is exactly what kinds of purposes were the "religious purposes" that structures like the Ceremonial house used for? Even so, the design of the webpage was nice, and I really like the background color.

I looked at 2 of the Structures web pages, one from each class, and I noticed the different types of houses, like igloos. I didn't even know that Igloos were used by the Native Americans until now. (I though t that only Eskimos used them.)

Encounters With Others Period 8-9 (Ms. Mannering):

1.I learned a lot of different facts from this web page. I learned that the Northwest American Indians have kept a tradition called potlatch. Potlach is where you have a feast and the hostess has to give the guest as many valuables as the host can give away. Potlach means to give away. Also, the Native Americans tribes speak many different dialects. The Coos spoke two dialects called Hanis and Miluk. I also learned that the first non- Indians to interact with the Coos happened in 1853 and the non-Indians made the Coos move from their homeland.
2. One similarity between the Northwest American Indians and the Great Plain American Indians is that at one point, people banned their cultural practices, but then they got their rights back to practice their culture. Another similarity is that both of the Native Americans were stereotyped that they all looked the same and that they weren’t normal people. One difference was that the northwest American Indians didn’t trade with each other or at least they didn’t write about trading with each other.
3. How did the cultures communicate with each other?
4. I think the lay out of the page was very soothing for the eyes and the pictures were in the right places. The only thing was that the back round color was a little too bright for my eyes. I thought the paragraphs needed more of a conclusion that restates everything and that has a “so what.” Over all I liked this web page because it was very interesting and I could tell that every one in the group contributed.

Wampanoag Products 3-4 (Ms. Jacobs):

1. I learned that the northwestern American Indians had a lot of transportation like canoes, bullboats, kayaks, toboggans, sleds, and umiaks. The Native Americans of the northwest liked to hunt a lot. They hunted on ground and in the water, but they preferred to hunt in the water because it was faster. I also learned that the northwest American Indians had many different articles of clothing and they don’t always wear moccasins. The American Indians were very smart and they adapted to their environment by having different clothing for the different seasons. Another fact I learned was that the Wamponoag people mad e a special beaded belt called a wampum belt. The women were also very good at making pottery.
2. One similarity between the northwest Americans Indians and the great plain American Indians is that they wore the same clothing. Both of the tribes main hunting tool was also a bow and arrow. One difference between the two American Indians is that the great plain Native Americans main artwork was weaving and the northwest main artwork was beading and pottery.
3. What kind of food did they eat?
4. I think the lay out of this web page was very well done. I really liked how each paragraph had a white back round so I could clearly distinguish between the different paragraphs. The colors of the web page were also very good because they weren’t too bright for the eye. I also really liked how each paragraph had a picture. I thought that the paragraphs should have maybe been a little shorter because sometimes I felt like facts got repeated. Over all this web page was very well done and I could tell the group worked very hard.

Mannering Periods 3&4-"Time and Culture"

I learned lots of things from this group's webpage, including the fact that the Native Americains traveled originated from modern day Siberia and Mongolia and that they traveled over a temporary "land bridge", which is now known as Beringa. I also learned that the native americans had a highly developed civilization which had farming, cities, classes of society, architecture, and art. Another thing I learned was that the Native Americans follow the Peyote religion.
I noted that similar to the Native Americans of the Great Plains these ones also traveled over the Beringa from Mongolia and Siberia about 9-10,000 years ago. A difference i noted was that these natives believed in Christ but the ones I studied worshipped the Great Spirit.
I think a question that should be answered is what weapons did these people use?
I thought the layout on this page was AMAZING! I loved how they had links to their individual paragraphs and how they had a link on the top to the "Home" "Bibliography" and they even had an "About Us"! It was also very informative and there were lots of helpful pictures.

Oops, forgot the answer all four questions in my last post. I looked at the Structures group in Ms. Mannering's and Ms. Jacob's classes. (8-9 period)

1. I found out that the Native American tribes that they studied used: Long Houses, Wampanoags, and Igloos.

2. A difference that I noticed was that both of the group of tribes that they studied used completely different structures.

3. My question for Ms. Mannering's 8-9th period structures group is: If the Native Americans used snow for insulation, and bear fur covered ice ad beds, would your body heat (and for the beds, the bear fur) melt all of the ice and snow?

4. A comment for Ms. Jacob's 8-9th period class (Structures) is to use better colors for the contrast between the font and the background, it was a bit straining for my eyes >.<

Overall I thought that the websites on Native Americans were really good. I did not know that in the Northwest, in Native American rituals, people wore complicated masks that sometimes even have movable parts. Another thing I was surprised to learn is that sometimes tribes of Native Americans would come together to form federations. A third thing is that the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe held the first Thanksgiving with the pilgrims in 1621. One huge difference between the Plains Native Americans and the Northwestern Pacific Native Americans is in the food they ate. The Plains Native Americans used buffalo for food, but because the Northwestern Native Americans were on the coast they ate fish. After reading the page about structures from Ms. Jacobs class, I would like to know if, in Wampanoag communities, women helped build the wigwams? One paragraph said it was the men and women, but one says it was only men.
I thought the layout of the websites was really good. They were all readable. I thought some could have been more eye-catching. The one for daily life in the 3-4 period of Ms. Mannering’s class was black on white. It was easy to read, but I think they should add a little bit of color.

Mrs. Jacobs Class
1.I discovered that the Wampanoag tribe was very powerful and important, and it was mentioned a lot. I also discovered that some tribes left their villages for a while to go somewhere else. Another thing I learned was that the Pequot tribe was split in half because one half wanted to make an alliance with the pilgrims, and the other half didn’t, so they became the Mohegan tribe and Pequot. The Mohegan wanted an alliance, and the Pequots wanted to fight.
2.Like the Native Americans from the Great Plains, the Northeastern tribes had many different languages and they were split up into many groups.
3.In my group, we talked about transportation and the introduction of horses. I’m somewhat interested if the Native Americans of the Northeast used horses, and if they just used them to ride.
4.I saw that a lot of the pages had white backgrounds and the margins were different for some paragraphs. There were many pictures on most pages, and they were really helpful.

Mrs. Mannering’s Class
1.I found out that there are around 50 tribes along the coast today. I also learned that when they wore clothes, it was made with softened cedar bark, and they usually walked barefoot all year. I read about the Coos a lot, and they had two dialects, Hanis and Miluk.
2.One thing I read was that the Native Americans along the Pacific coast had masks, and I hadn’t read anything about masks in the Great Plains.
3.I was wondering the same question that I did with Mrs. Jacobs’ class, about the horses, and if and how they used horses in their daily life.
4.Many pages I looked at were colorful and easy to read, but sometimes it was hard to tell what was a title.

Jacobs Periods 3&4- "Time and Culture"

Among the many things I learned from this webpage the ones that stood out the most to me included: that the native american religion had over 36 different rituals and ceremonies, that there were at least 68 different languages and that they had a written language.
A big difference from these natives to the ones I studied was that they had a written language, a similarity was that there were so many different languages and TONS of different rituals and ceremonies.
One thing I would like to know, still, is what kind of weapons they used.
Overall the webpage was very informative and the pictures were helpful. But, there were no names on the page anywhere (I don't know if that was required though...)

Ms. Mannering's class

1. I learned that the Northwest Pacific Indians were masters in canoe making. Canoes were used for whaling, sealing, fishing, and for general transportation. I also learned that the Northwest Pacific Indians made their clothes out of the trees native to their land. Wars were not always violent. The winner was often determined by oral speeches.
2. Both the Northwest Pacific Indians and the Great Plains Indians did the ghost dance to return the dead to life and keep away the angry white people. The Northwest Pacific Indians are mostly on the Northwest side of Canada but the Great Plains were not.
3.For the Daily Life of the Pacific Northwest American Indians group ( periods 8-9), why was the candlefish so oily?
4. For the Structures group (periods 3-4), I thought the info was really good but the background makes the words really hard to see after a while. They should also put all their bibliographies at the bottom of the page intead of after each paragraph.

1. I learned that Great Plains paintings were called pictographs and they were drawings of war. I also did not know that their clothes showed how important you were and what your job meant. I also have never heard of atlatl, which is a weapon with a stick and a dart.

2. One difference between the Wampanoag's and the Great Plains Indians is that the Wampanoag's mostly fished, and the Great Plains Indians mostly land hunted. A similarity is that they both used spears and bows and arrows.

3. Why were the Great Plains tribes nomadic?

4. The design of the website was nice, and the pictures were very useful to help understand the information.

Anonymous said...

Mrs. Mannerings 3-4 products
1. I found out that the northwest native americans mostly made clothing, totem poles, canoes and baskets. I also learned that the canoes that the northwest native americans made were mad from a hollowed out log of a cedar tree that had already fallen down. Another thing i learned from the website was that the pacific northwest indians clothes were made out of softened cedar bark.
2. One difference is that the plains indians wore clothes almost all the time while the pacific northwest indians usually didn't wear clothes.
3. What else did the northwest indians make besides the four things you mentioned? what kind of weapons did they make?
4. I liked the website a lot but the one small problem I found was there were no names on the webpage but other than that it was a great webpage.
Ms.Jacobs 3-4 encounters with others
1. The northeast indians usually taded by water going in canoes down rivers and lakes for miles. One of the biggest and most famous war that the northeast indians took place in was one sometimes known as King Philips war, which was with the wampanoag tribe and the colonists. If the war between the Wampanoags and the colonists had not taken place then we would be using mor of the technigues that they taught us.
2.Well one big difference is that the Northeast indians were the first one to have to encounter the colonists so they were kind of unready for their power and were hit hard.
3. What would the other northeast tribes trade? (not the Wampanoags)
4. I really like their web page especially their pictures because they all really had to do with their articles.

1.I learned that the Northeastern Native American Tribes had over 36 different rituals and ceremonies. The Tribes overall had at least 68 different languages. All unique. I learned that one of the biggest and most famous war between the Wampanoag Tribe and the Colonists was sometimes called King Philip's War.
2.One similarity between the Northeast Native Americans and the Great Plains indians was that both of them hunted buffalo for clothing, food, tools, etc. But the Northeast Native American didnt only hunt buffalo.
3.How did the Wampanoag tribe study animals? "they studied each animal before to learn how to best hunt them."
4. The Wampanoag Products (periods 3-4) page was REALLY good. It looked really professional and organized. The page seemed to cover most of what the Wamponaog Tribe produced. The paragraphs were written really well too.

1. The great plains had a small variety of weapons. Their art was put on functional ojects and sacred objects. And most of their clothing was made out of deer and buffalo.

2. One similarity I found about the wampanoag and the great plain indians is that the wampanoag would also harvest corn, beans, and a variety of squashes. And one difference I found was that women of the wampanoag tribe wore skirts instead of dresses.

3."how did they make the atlatl."

4. I think that this design of this page was very neat and I really liked they color.

Ms. Jacobs Class- Daily life

1. I learned that the Wampanoag believed that a persons recovery was based on their mental strength, healing starts form the soul and they believed that when someone did something wrong and when the got sick they were being punished.
2. One difference was that the Daily life in Ms. Jacobs class said that Women just did the planting and the farming.
3. ‘What was the daily order?’
4. I liked the layout of the Page that I looked at it was very clear and easy to read but I think that there should have been one or two more photos.

Ms. Mannering’s class- Daily life
1. I learned that Shamanism is when people believe that there is a practice where you can travel the axis of mundi (which is a pathway between earth and heaven), the northwest Americans Indians mostly ate fish and the Indians had a tradition that the first salmon that was caught was skinned carefully down to that bone then the skeleton was put back in to the water.
2. The Daily life in Ms. Mannering’s Class talked more about what they eat, what the practiced and what they may have played in a day.
3. I think that the daily life group should have answered more questions about the kinds of jobs they did.
4. I liked it is was pretty clear but, I think that they should have had more photos with Native Americans doing different thing that the talked about.

1. The Northwest Pacific Indians ate a lot of fish, deer, beavers, caribou, and bears. They made clothes out of trees. They smeared themselves with dog fur so that they wouldn't get wet.
2. The Northwest Pacific Indians made their houses out of cedar, unlike the American Indians that we studied.
3. Did they cook their food indoors or outdoors?
4. There is a spelling mistake in the subtitle- it says "How Did Pacific Northwest Indians Get Thier Food, Make Their Clothes, And Make Their Houses?" It should be their instead of thier. I also think that some of the subtitles should be centered rather than off to the side.

Ms. Jacobs Class

1. The Wampanoag tribe had a person who they believed was spiritual. The person was called a powwaw and his/her job was to heal people. Their medicine was all natural and made out of herbs and berries.
2. The Wampanoag tribe hunted similar animals to the tribes I studied.
3. How did the people hunt their food?
4. There are a lot of grammar/spelling mistakes in the webpage.

Ms. Mannering's

1. I learned that most Northwest Pacific people built plank houses using cedar. Another thing I learned was the Northwest Pacific Indians believed that when a boy reached the age of manhood, usually about twelve or thirteen, he was to seek his Guardian Spirit. I also learned that tribal rituals which include bathing, also known as washing. In this ceremony, people would give away material possessions, in a hope that it would help them gain physical and spiritual health.
2. One difference between Plains Indians culture and Northwest Pacific culture is that the age of manhood for Northwest Pacific people is twelve or thirteen, but the age of the Plains Indians was seventeen.
3. How come there aren't any horses where the Northwest Pacific people lived?
4. I think the paragraphs were written well. There was one website that didn't say who it was by. The pictures were very nice, but I didn't know what some of the pictures represented because it didn't say.

Ms. Jacob's

1. One thing I learned was that when it was time for a new home to be built or repaired, the women and men helped out because they didn’t believe in only one gender participating in work. Another thing that I learned was that the Wampanoag slept, performed rituals, held meetings, and ate food in their houses. The third thing I learned was that the Wampanoag had specific ways to build their houses, or wetus, all of which included specific materials.
2. The difference between the Plains Indians and the Wampanoag was that the Plains Indians before there were horses would walk for transportation, but the Wampanoag before there were horses would use canoes, bullboats kayaks, umiaks, sleds, and toboggans.
3. Did the Wampanoag encounter a lot of other tribes from other regions?
4. I think that the websites were well done, but there was one website that had no names on it. The pictures were well labeled and I could tell what it was about. The backgrounds were well designed.

Ms. Mannering's Class-Northwest Pacific Structures, Period 8-9

1. Firstly, I learned that long houses were made of cedar wood because it was slow to rot and easy to split into long, straight planks. I also learned that igloos were used where there wasn't much wood and extremely cold. They were 9 to 15 feet in diameter and 5 to 6 people could live in them. Lastly, I learned that totem poles were used for parents and grandparents to tell their children stories. The stories were shown on the totem poles.
2. I also did structures and one similarty was that the Indians of the Great Plains also had a hole that smoke from the fire and other odors came out of.
3. Why is the longhouse rectangular and the igloo circular?
4. I think that the web page is very well done and interesting but there shouldnt be two paragraphs about the totem pole. I think that both paragraphs are very interesting but should be combined into one.

Ms. Jacob's Class-Wampanoag Structures, Period 8-9

1. Firstly, I learned that an extended family could fit in a Wampanoag house and the people had to build their houses so the enviroment wouldn't ruin them. I also learned that women sewed cattail weeds together to make cattail mats and bulrush mats for the roof. The cattail mats helped to keep the rain out of the wetus and the bulrush mats helped to keep the wetus warm. Lastly, I learned that the Wampanoag houses were made of bark and shaped in a cirlce so that the heat was shared equally throughout the house.
2. I also did structures and one similarity was that the Indians of the Great Plains also used wigwams.
3. I would like to know more about the winter houses and the summer houses.
4. I think that the content of the web page is very good but it is hard to read because the print doesn't stand out on the background color. There should be colors that stand out against each other but still make the web page look attractive.

1. The first page I looked at was Ms. Jacob’s third-fourth period group that did products. The first thing I discovered was that the Wampanoag used tomahawks, which were wooden clubs with an axe, to hunt. I also found out that the women also wore a type of cape that is hung from one shoulder to the other. In the warmer seasons the capes were made of grass to ward off bugs, and in winter they were lined with fur. The other thing I learned was that the Wampanoag created a special mixture of clay to strengthen their pottery.
2. One difference from the Wampanoag culture to ours is that the Indians of the Great Plains used buffalo and deer to make clothes, and the Wampanoag used deer, elk, and moose.
3. In the hunting and weapons section, it talks about a hunting game. I thought that the Indians only killed the animals they needed, and a game sounds like a sporting event to kill the most animals. What was the game mean in hunting game?
4. I really like the layout and design of the webpage. I was neat and clean, and was very easy to read. I really liked how the text was in boxes do it didn’t move around when you change the size of the window. Can you show me how to do that?

1. The second page I looked at was Mrs. Mannering’s third-fourth period group that did structures. One thing I learned was that the Northwest Pacific Indians used their homes for many things, like ceremonies. Another thing I learned was that the Indians lived in wigwams, teepees, lunch houses, and bathroom houses. I also discovered that the people of higher status had bigger and nicer homes than others.
2. One similarity from the Great Plains culture is that both cultures lived in wigwams and teepees.
3. One question I had was were there any other buildings that were not houses? It has that question as a heading, but then it talks about the types of houses.
4. One comment I had about the design and layout of their webpage was that when I opened it I was expecting it to be really sad because it was so dark. Maybe not gray and black together, or maybe a lighter gray.

Whoops! I forgot to put my name on the other comment i made! Sorry about that.
Ms. Jacob's class-
I read the daily life page from the 8th-9th peroid class. I learned that the Wampanoag believed that a sick person could not get better unless they wanted to, that the men hunted and the women farmed, and that beads were originally made from shells, coral or turquoise. Both the Wamanoag and the Plains Indians deeply respected animals. Why do some people think that their healing rituals calmed the soul? I really liked the backround color and the paragraphs were easy to understand, but i noticed that a couple of the paragraphs werent very well edited.

Mr. Nekrosius's Class 3-4 Products

I learned that the Native Americans made some of their art from porcupine quills, that they called their art "pictographs" and that bows and arrows were lighter so it was more accurate. I really like the layout, the background is great. There were a lot of similarities because I to did Great Plains products. So one similarity is that the Native Americans made clothes from, deer or buffalo hides. I think that Products 3-4 should answer "what did the Native Americans wear to sacred rituals?"

Ms. Mannering's class 8-9 Products

I like how the pictures are put by the paragraphs that they go to. I learned that masks were very important, the Native Americans made cedar canoes and that weapons were usually decorated. One difference is that the Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest used dog fur and the Native Americans of the Great Plains used buffalo hide. One question I think they should answer is "what did they eat?"

2) I didn't know that the Wampanoag tibes beleived that building a wampanoag home was spiritual- giving thanks to their Creator for the materials they had to build with.
3) I also didn't know that an important dance that was used in the northwest was the Winter spirit dance. The dance was meant to help people have strong spirits through the cold.

1.One of the many rituals that the Pacific Northwest Indians had was bathing. Unlike the Europeans, Pacific Northwest Indians would take baths because of spiritual cleaning. The Northwestern Pacific Indians believed that when a boy reached the age of manhood, usually twelve to thirteen, he was to search his Guardian Spirit. His Guardian Spirit would help him throughout his life. The Pacific Northwest had a tradition called whaling. Whale hunts were preformed from large wooden canoes. There was usually a hunter “ chief harpooner” who would direct the rest of the group, generally this position was passed down from father to son and it was these men who would get first pick of the meat after the hunt.
The Wampanoag Tribe believed that one Great Spirit created the earth and that each animal had its own spirit. When they hunted, they would thank the animal’s spirit, and when they had a good harvest, they would thank the spirits of the crop. The Wampanoag gave visitors food and a bed because they believed that every justice and injustice would be repaid. One important dance that was used in the northwest was the Winter Spirit Dances. This Dance was meant to help people have strong spirits through the cold, remote winter months.

2.The culture I studied had many similarities as the two I had read. The Native Americans told many tribal stories and legends. The men were the hunters and the women cooked and sewed. Those are the main similarities.

3.How come many of the rituals and traditions of the Native Americans have been lost over time?

4.I visited one of Mrs. Mannering’s 8th-9th Period Class Website and Ms. Jacob’s 8th-9th Period Class Website. Both of the Websites were done very nicely. The formats of the Websites were organized very well.

Mrs Mannerings Class:
1) I discovered that they made canoes out of trees, that if they were too heavy, they would let them float down the river.
2) I never knew that most people from the North (excluding the people far North,) went bare foot all year.
3) I also didn't know that the indians in the Pacific North wore barely anything, and that their clothes were made out of sofened cedar bark.
4) A similarity that I found was that the Native Americans gathered berries and other fruits with baskets.
5) A question that I have was if the log was too heavy to carry, and you let it float down the river to your village, how do you stop it?
6) I liked the colors that the groups had chosen for their web pages.


Ms. Jacobs Class:
1) I discovered that the tribes had Winter Dances, that would cheer up people during even the coldest months of winter.
2) I never knew that the tribes had a man or woman who they thought was spiritual.

1.I learned that not all the battles that were fought were violent. Also that the clothes were made of the native trees where they lived. And that the raven is considered a trickster.
2.One difference between what we studied and what they studied is that they made their clothes out of trees, not buffalo hide.
3.Who built the canoes?
4.I think maybe they should have used a different colour background, the colour they have gets boring after a while.

For Products of the Pacific Northwest Indians I learned that.

~They made clothes out of trees native to their area
~In fights the warriors wore these wooden helmets and body armor. And their fighting knives were made out of stone or bone.
~ The mixture that made a copper, was a mixture of chewed dry salmon eggs.
~ The northwest Indians built their canoes from trial and error until they got them right.


I learned for the Wampanoag Indian products that

~For clothing the woman always wore skirts and the men wore breechcloth. And both genders wore moccasins.
~ They would trade for anything that they needed
~The most important crop to the Wampanoag’s was corn.

One similarity between the culture I studied and the other cultures is that The Great Planes Native American Indians used buffalo for most everything and for the other cultures they used more trees and plant material. And a mix pf animals not just one specific type.

One question I had is what makes these cultures so different from each other and yet so the same.

One website that I thought had a really good lay out and good pictures and colors and clear explanations was the Wampanoag Products.

1.The Wampanoag tribe was almost wiped out by plague the Europeans brought with them. They would cut the kettles for raw materials so they could make necklaces,arrowheads, and spoons. Most families set out an extra place in case a unexpected guest came to visit.
2.The Wampanoag also used aniaml hides for clothing.

1. I learned that most Northwest Pacific people built plank houses using cedar. Another thing I learned was the Northwest Pacific Indians believed that when a boy reached the age of manhood, usually about twelve or thirteen, he was to seek his Guardian Spirit. I also learned that tribal rituals which include bathing, also known as washing. In this ceremony, people would give away material possessions, in a hope that it would help them gain physical and spiritual health.
2. One difference between Plains Indians culture and Northwest Pacific culture is that the age of manhood for Northwest Pacific people is twelve or thirteen, but the age of the Plains Indians was seventeen.
3. How come there aren't any horses where the Northwest Pacific people lived?
4. I think the paragraphs were written well. There was one website that didn't say who it was by. The pictures were very nice, but I didn't know what some of the pictures represented because it didn't say.

Ms. Jacob's

1. One thing I learned was that when it was time for a new home to be built or repaired, the women and men helped out because they didn’t believe in only one gender participating in work. Another thing that I learned was that the Wampanoag slept, performed rituals, held meetings, and ate food in their houses. The third thing I learned was that the Wampanoag had specific ways to build their houses, or wetus, all of which included specific materials.
2. The difference between the Plains Indians and the Wampanoag was that the Plains Indians before there were horses would walk for transportation, but the Wampanoag before there were horses would use canoes, bullboats kayaks, umiaks, sleds, and toboggans.
3. Did the Wampanoag encounter a lot of other tribes from other regions?
4. I think that the websites were well done, but there was one website that had no names on it. The pictures were well labeled and I could tell what it was about. The backgrounds were well designed.

Ms. Mannering’s class:
There were three classes in the Chinook Tribe: upper class, commoners and slaves. Also, there were 50 tribes along the coast. The main food source was fish. This was different than the tribes we studied, because they lived inland. How did they make clothes out of trees? What was the process? I might make the pictures a bit bigger, so that they pop out more, but generally, they were very good.
Ms. Jacob’s class:
I learned that Indian beads were made out of pretty much everything except glass. They had over 36 different rituals and ceremonies. Also, building a home was considered a spiritual activity. They seem to eat more animals than the tribes we studied, but have similar food sources. It says that eating was a ritual. Did they have prayers over the food? I might try to go over the grammar of a few of the pages for capitalization.

1) I discovered the Native Americans believed that Nature’s spiritual power could influence their lives. The Native American had ghost dances and it was a way for the Native Americans to bring life back to their wounded ancestors and game animals. Also the Native American in the Northeast had over thirty- six rituals and ceremonies.
2) The Great Plains and The Pacific both had spherical dances. They also spoke different languages.
3) Who had more rights, the men or the women?
4) All the paragraphs were written very well, however some websites did not have enough creativity.

The American Indians would earn there respect by giving things away. If you would have given a item then the person who received that gift would give three times as many items you gave them. In some tribes the chief would be a man, other tribes a woman would be the chief. If a woman wanted to end the marriage she would put all of the husbands stuff outside of the door. Both, the Wampanoag and the pacific northwest Indians eat a lot of fish by using spears to kill them. What would the American Indians wear to the rituals? Would they have something different to wear for a ritual? The web page I visited maybe they could have had a little more information to be able to compare to the other websites. Over all i really enjoyed the web page's design and i thought it was great!

Anonymous said...

1.
a. One thing that I noticed that was similar in the web pages was that there was no common religion between the people living in the Wampanoag village or Indians located in the Northwestern Pacific area.
b. In the Northeastern American tribes they had over 36 rituals and ceremonies. The rituals and ceremonies would represent many different events in life.
c. In the Northwestern American tribes most all of the Indians believed in Spirituality.

2. A similarity between the Great Plains Women and the Wampanoag Women was that the women had the same jobs. The women would cook, pitch the tipi, take care of the children and make clothes.

3. In the Pacific Northwest Tribes how were women treated in society?

4. I visited many sites in both classes, but I am going to critique Daily Life 8-9 in Ms. Jacob’s class. One thing that I want to suggest for the future is to not pick such a bright color for the background; you might want to choose a subtle color. For example, a light brown color. Another thing is that you should put the text in a table, that way the text does not flow all the way across to the other side of the screen.

I read Structures from Mrs. Mannerings class, period 8-9.

1. I learned where that the Northwest Pacific Native Americans made big long houses out of cedar wood, because cedar wood rots very slowly. Another thing I learned was that, Native Americans who lived in igloos, used slabs of ice as beds. I also learned that the Pacific Northwestern Indians made totem poles to tell stories.
2. One difference I noticed about the northwestern native Americas and the Plains Native Americans was that the northwestern Native Americans made large, permanent homes. The plains Indians lived in moveable tent and teepees.
3. One question I think they should have answered was if they ever moved the longhouses, or if they just stayed in one place.
4. I think the website looked fine. They could have put their names on the paragraphs so we could tell who wrote what. I liked they layout of the pictures.

I learned that the Northwestern American indians used baskets that were watertight, they wore very little, and they built canoes. One difference is that the Great Plains Indians didn't use canoes, as they had little use for them. One similarity was that they traded. I think they layout of per. 3-4 Products was good, but the pictures could be spaced out better. How were the canoes beautiful?

Ms. Jacobs

I learned that reservations were meant as prisons, they had 36 rituals, and the written langueses are no longer in exestince. They traded alot, but the tribes are different. What does Columbus have to do with the North Eastern American Indians? I love the layout, but the color is boring

I began by viewing some of the period 3-4 articles. I started with products, because that was the group I was in. I learned that for hunting, bows that were made out of hickory were usually the best for accuracy, and for hunting quick animals. In the winter, the Wampanoags invented this piece of detatchable cloth on their arms. my question for this group is: How did these products help/hurt their society and enviroment? But overall, paragraphs were written neatly, and covered the topics efficiently and well.

-The Ghost-Dance Tradition was created so the tribe members could see what happens in the future.
-Generosity made you famous.
-The groups that were created when Indian families joined together were called bands.
2. The foods the Northwester Pacific Indians ate were different. They ate seafood, while the Indians I studied probably didn’t.
3. I’m just curious what some names of the tribes were?
4. I thought the design and layout was great. Some groups could have added a bit more color though, and maybe they could have labeled the pictures. But otherwise I really liked them!

Ms. Jacobs
1. –Hospitality was very important to the Wampanoags.
-Wampanoags homes were called wetus.
-The Wampanoag hunters learned animal calls to help them hunt animals
-Each village was governed by a sachem, who could be a man or a woman.
2. The Wampanoags used spindles to create their clothes, while the Plains Indians did not.
3. What did Wampanoags do in their spare time.
4. I really liked these webquests as well! The only thing is that labeling pictures might be helpful.

I learned that the bella coola tribe liked fishing because they were by the sea, that the Tututni tribe had rituals where they would hide there faces with masks that were often scary and that the ceremonial houses were used for mostly religious reasons and purposes and sometimes for civic and social purposes as well. Other cultures were diffrent because they were next to the sea and more based on fish and other sea related products to survive.I think the people who wrote this should tell more about the interactions between tribes. on one of the webquests it was confusing that there were links to diffrent parts of the subject and that i couldnt scroll down to see thee imformation.

I think that Ms. Mannering and Ms. jacob's classes did really well on their webquests. The Products sections fron MS. Jacob's 3-4 was very well done. I think that the structures groups were layed out very well, but the background color was a little bit distracting. The "enounters with others" group from Mr. Nekrosius's 8-9 period class did a really good job on their layout. I think it would have been a little easier to read if the text was a little bigger. In the "encouters with others" group from MS. Mannering's 3-4 period class had a very informative page, but there could have been more pictures. The pictures from the Times and culture B group had their pictures messed up so tey got loaded wrong. (thats me)

Time and Culture of the Northwest Pacific Indians-Mannering 3-4
1. The Pacific Northwest Indians are believed to have originally come from Mongolia and Siberia. Most of the natives also make most of their money from farming, just like many people in different places still do today. There are multiple gods, just like there are today, many people believe in different gods. The main gods were Christ who was the great god, Jesus the culture hero, and the devil who was evil.
2. As far as we know the Great Plain Indians did not originate from some place else like Siberia or Magnolia.
3. Were there more Indian civilizations or tribes in either the Great Plains, or the Northwest Pacific area?
4. I thought it was really neat how the time and culture group basically made three different pages then stuck them all together so that they could all be accessed. I also thought it was cool since no one else did anything like it, it was very unique.



Wampanoag Products-Jacobs 3-4
1. Before the wheel was invented the indians mainly used canoes, or other of small boats. The Wampanoag Tribe’s clothing were mainly made from deerskins, but sometimes used elk or moose hides. The natives made lots of unique art, such as they began using beads or making pottery.
2. The Indians in the Northeast and the Great Plains Indians were both very interested and enjoyed art. My topic on the great plain Indians was structure and I learned that they often decorate the outside of their tipis. The Northeast Indians discovered many new types of art.
3. Why were the Indians so interested in art, why did they invent so many new ways of decorating things and discovering so many new techniques?
4. I thought it was really cool that the group made their page look sort of like a news paper article, and made each different topic in a specific blocked out area. I also thought that the group did a good job of choosing pictures for each article.

I read Daily Life from Mrs. Jacobs’s class, period 8-9

2. One similarity between the Great Plains Indians and the Wampanoag is that they both have lots of art.
3. I think one question that should be answered in the paragraphs is if any of the Wampanoag medicine ever worked.
4. I think The website looked ok. The title could have been bigger, and on the top it says untitled document.

Ms Mannering's Class:

I learned that some of the native's battles between tribes were not always by fighting, they were sometimes won by oral speech. Animal bones were carved and sharpened to make weapons and blades. Masks were made to be used mostly in rituals, ceremonies, or dance. Canoes were made from trees that were carved from the inside and then shaped into the correct form.
My question for this group is: What did the masks simbolize for the people wearing them?
Overall this group did very well and the paragraphs were written in a pretty high level of detail. One thing is that the pictures seemed to be all over and the same for the titles of each paragraph. Also the pictures might've been a little better with some captions. But aside from these things this group did a really good job

One thing I learned about the Native Americans is that the upper class also included the Chief's family. I also learned that they had commoners and slaves. One similarity is that part of the upper class were the worriors of the tribe. My question is, who were the slaves in the village? Were the slaves from the same tribe they served or awere they captured and used as slaves? The paragraphs were written well, but the group should have spent more time with the colors and the pitures.

the Native American tribes that they studied used: Long Houses, Wampanoags, and Igloos.(i thought only eskimos used those)

2. the structures vary from different tribes

3. My question for Ms. Mannering's 8-9th is if they used ice beds and bear fur, wouldnt it melt?.

4. A comment for Ms. Jacob's 8-9th period class (Structures)is you should make you colors a little more contrasting so its a little more easy on the eyes.
