Chapter 2
American Indians USI.3 The student will demonstrate knowledge of how early cultures developed in North America by
a) describing how archaeologists have recovered material evidence of ancient settlements, including Cactus Hill in Virginia.
Archaeologists study human behavior and cultures of the past through the recovery and analysis of artifacts.
Scientists are not in agreement about when and how people first arrived in the Western Hemisphere.
Cactus Hill is located on the Nottoway River in southeastern Virginia. Evidence that humans lived at Cactus Hill as early as 18,000 years ago makes it one of the oldest archaeological sites in North America.
b) locating where the American Indians settled, with emphasis on Arctic (Inuit), Northwest (Kwakiutl), Plains (Lakota), Southwest (Pueblo), and Eastern Woodland (Iroquois);
American Indians lived in all areas of North America
Inuit inhabited present-day Alaska and northern Canada. They lived in Arctic areas where the temperature is below freezing much of the year.
Kwakiutl homeland includes the Pacific Northwest coast, characterized by a rainy, mild climate.
Lakota people inhabited the interior of the United States, called the Great Plains, which is characterized by dry grasslands.
Pueblo tribes inhabited the Southwest in present-day New Mexico and Arizona, where they lived in desert areas and areas bordering cliffs and mountains.
Iroquois homeland includes northeast North America, called the Eastern Woodlands, which is heavily forested.
Members of these tribes live in their homelands and in many other areas of North America today.
c) describing how the American Indians used the resources in their environment.
In the past, American Indians fished, hunted, and grew crops for food. They made clothing from animal skins and plants. They constructed shelters from resources found in their environment (e.g., sod, stones, animal skins, wood).
Types of resources
Natural resources: Things that come directly from nature
Human resources: People working to produce goods and services Capital resources: Goods produced and used to make other goods and services
Natural resources
The fish American Indians caught, wild animals they hunted, and crops they grew were examples of natural resources.
Human resources
People who fished, made clothing, and hunted animals were examples of human resources.
Capital resources
The canoes, bows, and spears American Indians made were examples of capital resources.
