1. By Adam White

2.  Topic Sentence: Three Native American Tribes Who Played roles from 1800’s to 1900’s
and explaining what their life styles were like for example who led them at that time,
did they worship anything, and did they play any important roles in that time as well.
 Thesis Statement: So what I mean about this topic is that I will be going to explain
what 3 Native American tribes were around the 1800’s and 1900’s I’ll be explaining
who the tribes leaders were, what they worshiped, what some of their customs are, and
what roles they played in around whose times as well because a lot went on at the
time.

3. INTRODUCTION
 Their as been Native American tribes ever sense they were found in the new world by
settlers
 Every Native American Tribe as their own ways and tuitions and customs to how they
been doing all time.
 This will also go into depth on what some of their roles were in those time periods
during most of those wars
 And their will be detail on what is on with the tribes now

4.  This presentation will be talking about three tribes The Cheyenne, Comanche,
and Crow Nation which will explain every known fact about them.
 A lot of people may believe that most of these Native American tribes are the same
their not but they do have similar things in common such as
- Location of where they lived
- What they hunted and used them for
- And there roles in that time period

5.  The Cheyenne were a powerful tribe who very resourceful they were like most
Native American but their location was not rare.
 This was a very well known tribe around those times meanly because they fought
the outsiders who came to take Native Indian lands.
 Like most tribes they lived on the plains areas so what they would hunt is what
you would guess buffalo
 The Cheyenne may not seem like a well known but they do have a lot of history in
their background

6.  In this tribe their have been many known chiefs but one
known one is Dull Knife
 Dull Knife was born in Montana 1810 but died 1879 in the
Northern Cheyenne reservation at Lame Deer Cemetery
 Dull Knife was a very famous chief among many because he
did what needed to be done in order to protected his people
from any kind of danger
 The reason why Dull Knife was so interesting was because
after one battle he wounded his leg but saved his brother in
law and carried him back to their home

7.  For clothing which women made after the men hunted the
animals which was meanly deer and buffalo since they lived
in the plains areas it’s your typical native clothing
 Weapons were the regular bows, spears, knifes, and later in
war rifles
 And they would have their own holidays that they would
celebrate and dance to such as the daunting Sun Dance
Ceremony and the Vision Quest

10. THE
COMANCH
E TRIBE
 The Comanche were a formidable Indian tribe
who meanly in the southern parts of the plains
so they were no different then the Cheyenne
 This tribe was very aggrieve against other
Native enemy tribes and the White outsiders
that would attempt to push them off their land
 They were skilled horse men it was like they
were riding horses sense time it self even
though it was one a hundred years or so.
 One interesting fact is that they were split into
a few different bands The Yamparika meaning
"Root Eaters”,Kotsoteka meaning Buffalo
Eaters”,Penateka meaning Honey
Eaters”,Nokoni meaning "Those Who Turn
Back”,Quahadis meaning "Antelopes”

11.  One of this tribes famous leader Quanah Parker was a very
well know Native American leader at that time which he
was more then a leader
 Quanah was born 1848 in Texas but died February 23, 1911
in Oklahoma
 He was the tribe’s spoke person for the Native Americans he
was like a man of peace
 He was the last leader of Kwahadi (Quahadi) band, who
fought in unsuccessful war against white expansion in
northwestern of Texas
 As he did grow older he moved to Oklahoma to become a bit
of a relious man practicing polygamy and other things
normal in his tribe in those days

12.  Like most Native American Tribes they had a spiritual belief and had some of the
similar weapons and outfits of that time period as well
 The cloths were made of same animal hides as the other tribes would use them
and it was well known in everyone
 What they did for rituals and ceremonies was Sweat Lodge ceremony, the Vision
Quest and the Sun Dance Ceremony which was similar to the Cheyenne

15.  The Crow tribe was a little more hostile then most of the other tribes they hardily
got into any wars with the white settlers as they called them but meanly got into
fights with other tribes such as Black Food tribe
 Unlike most tribes this one continually moves around with no permanent village
all they did was camped and they only grew one crop and it’s tobacco which they
relied on for trading
 And the reason why they were so hostile to people was because they were known
to be marauders and horse-stealers

16.  One well known chief leader of The Crow is Plenty Coups
born in 1848 and died 1932 a man who was very old in
those times
 The way he had became a chief was election by other chiefs
because their tribe was like the Comanche it was split into
different factions
 One interesting thing that he did was that he had allied the
The Crow with the U.S. but not as fights but as transports
and guides one of the reasons why they moved so much
 One great detail about him is that he would visit and speak
at the Tomb of the Unknown Solider which he meanly
because he fought by solider like them so he gave receipts

17. The Crow Nation clothing is
about the same as regular
Native American with animal
hide and like the name
suggests they also used bird
feathers in their outfits often
wean by the Chiefs
They would often trade with
the white outsiders as they
called them and would say
that they choose to accept it
and they hardly got pushed off
their land

20. All tribes that is known they all practice these rituals and ceremonies Sweat Lodge ceremony, the Vision
Quest and the Sun Dance Ceremony
They also share similar weapons such as bows, Axes, Tomah hawks, and even rifles
Since they all lived on the plains areas they all hunted buffalo, deer, and birds and used them for the same
purpose
One thing that they may not agree on but seems they do have it in common is when the wars around these
times were going on they were all great fighters in these wars and never gave up for what they believed in
either

21. HOW DID
THE
TRIBES
FIT IN?
 For the Native Americans around that time
which was the 1800’s – 1900’s didn’t really get
into anywhere
 In that time they were either being kicked off
their lands or going to war to keep them
 They often stayed with there own tribes and
didn’t really go to the outside world as much as
people think

22.  In the year 1877 their was still
compotation for the lands and the
Indians were still getting in the middle
 It was around that time the Native
Americans were still going to war to
save what was theirs
 They did play roles in other events but
those are so little compared to the wars
they had to go through in that time line

23.  If I was living in that time period I would be living with the Native Americans
then the people of the U.S. because it may not bug them that they can just come in
and take what ever they want without permission!
 The Native Americans have helped us for many years and even saved must of the
peoples lives as well without their teachings we wouldn't be here.
 The main point is that when people are siding with others who would you want to
side with those who were here first and should stay or the ones who say they need
to take.

24.  This topic is sometimes not known
among some people because they are
often interested in the wars that had
better meaning
 But what I found is that this topic has
not really been changed as much
because it never hardly gets explored.

25. WHAT I
DIDN’T
KNOW
ABOUT?
 I had no idea that a lot or all the tribes
celebrate some of the same things like
the Sun Dance and etc...
 I also didn’t know that a good portion of
Native American tribes had lived on the
plains parts of America which makes
sense
 And everything that I talked about I
knew because I love learning about
Native Americans and their Cultures

26. WHAT I
PERSONAL
LY GOT
FROM
THIS!
 I got to talk about something that I find very
interesting and nice about the Native American
tribes
 They are like so great to talk about in my point
of view because you can learn more about them
then you can about all the other wars
 What I also like about them is that they resect
Nature and preserve it unlike what we do which
is take and destroy
 I liked talking about this topic and I hope to one
day help get the word out that Native
Americans should have a say of what is going on
in their lives.
