The document summarizes what happened to the Roanoke colony and discusses some theories about what may have occurred. It notes that 91 men, women, and children settled on Roanoke Island in present-day North Carolina but when their leader John White returned from England after a delay of three years, he found the colony deserted with the only clue being the word "CROATOAN" carved in a post. Some theories are that the colonists were killed by Native Americans, wandered away to find better land, or merged with local Native American tribes.

Chinook - Past and Present
The Chinook inhabited the areas around the Columbia River in Washington and Oregon as well as British Columbia. They lived in long wooden houses called longhouses and often displayed totem poles in front of their homes to show social rank and generations. The Chinook subsisted through fishing, hunting deer and elk, and hunting seal and sea otter. They also traded with other tribes. Religiously, they believed in animal gods like bears, ravens, and eagles as well as a god of creation called Neakanie. Today, most Chinook work as lumberjacks and casino owners, including at the 7 Cedars casino located in Sequim, Washington.
Chinook Nation
The document summarizes the history and culture of the Chinook Nation tribes in Oregon. It describes their traditional religious beliefs and spirituality, which included many nature spirits and guardian spirits. It then outlines the impact of European contact starting in the late 18th century, including epidemics that dramatically reduced population sizes, displacement from traditional lands, and changes to their religious systems and economy. While the Chinook Nation was granted federal recognition briefly in 2001, this was later overturned, and they continue to fight for official recognition today to preserve their cultural heritage and sovereignty.

Blackfeet tribeeisenzimers
The Blackfoot Confederacy consists of four tribes - the Siksika, Blood, Kainai, and North Pikuni - who traditionally lived in what is now Montana and Alberta. They signed treaties in the mid-1800s but were able to maintain aspects of their traditional way of life, such as coming together for ceremonies like the Sun Dance. Today there are over 8,000 members of the Blackfoot tribes, many of whom live on the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana or in the nearby Glacier National Park area.
Chapter 3.3 2013
The Middle Colonies included New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. They were located between the New England and Southern colonies. The climate and soil of the Middle Colonies supported diverse farming of crops like wheat, grains, fruits, and vegetables, earning the region the name "America's breadbasket." The Dutch originally settled New York, while Pennsylvania was founded by Quakers seeking religious freedom to establish their "Holy Experiment" under William Penn's leadership. Delaware was previously controlled by the Swedes and Dutch before becoming part of Pennsylvania and later separating as its own colony.
Where i live
Jacksonville, Florida is the largest city by land area in the United States, located along the St. Johns River. Founded in 1821 as a trading port, it exported cotton and lumber and grew as Florida's commercial center after statehood in 1845. Today, Jacksonville has nearly 1 million citizens and is a major transportation hub. Nearby is St. Augustine, the oldest permanent European settlement in North America founded in 1565 under Spanish rule. Its Castillo de San Marcos fort, built in the late 1600s, is the oldest masonry fort in the continental U.S.
Jamestown ariadna andreis
The first permanent English settlement in North America was established in 1607 on the banks of the James River in Virginia. The early years of the colony were difficult, with famine, disease and conflicts with local Native American tribes. Tobacco later became a profitable export and peace was achieved through the marriage of John Rolfe to Pocahontas, the daughter of an Algonquian chief. The colony established representative government in 1619 with the formation of the General Assembly, and that same year saw the arrival of the first enslaved Africans who had been brought from the West Indies.
Pilgrims
The Pilgrims arrived in North America on the Mayflower and landed on Plymouth Rock on December 11, 1620. They struggled at first but the Wampanoag Indians taught the Pilgrims how to survive by living off the land. This helped the Pilgrims get through the difficult first winter.

Subsequent fur trading companies like the North West Company and Hudson's Bay Company are summarized. Important figures in the fur trade like John McLoughlin and the establishment of Fort Vancouver are also mentioned.
Cherokees
The Cherokee were one of the five civilized tribes that adapted to Western culture while resisting European rule. They originated as part of the Iroquois but migrated to the Ohio and Virginia regions. Cherokee spirituality involved shamans conducting ceremonies to heal the sick and pray to ancestors. Important festivals included the Green Corn Ceremony celebrating planting and harvest seasons. Sacred animals like eagles and buffalo held spiritual significance. Cherokees lived in woven reed huts and wore breechcloths or poncho-style clothing, observing taboos against killing certain animals.

For each region it lists the native tribes that inhabited the area and sometimes provides brief details about their culture, such as irrigation systems, architecture styles, or trade practices. The document aims to outline the indigenous populations across North America prior to European colonization.
Ppp Pioneers West
Pathfinders like Jim Bridger, Jeremiah Johnson, and Jebediah Smith helped chart routes for westward expansion in the early 1800s. Later, explorer John Fremont mapped the Oregon Trail in 1843-44 under a government contract, which helped thousands of settlers make the journey safely in covered wagons. The vast migration west began in 1843, with families traveling together for safety in covered wagons as they crossed over 3,200 km to reach Oregon through difficult terrain like the Rocky Mountains and Sierra Nevada.
The Algonquian Native Americans Final
The Algonquian Nation consisted of several tribes spread across the upper northeastern United States and Canada that spoke similar languages. These tribes included the Fox, Sauk, Menominee, Miami, Ojibwe, Kickapoo, and Potawatomi. Each tribe had their own distinct cultures and practices related to roles of men, women, and families as well as housing, clothing, crafts, and religious beliefs, but were united through their shared Algonquian ancestry and languages.
2. cultural australianewzealand
The document discusses the history and demographics of indigenous peoples and colonial settlement in Australia and New Zealand. It notes that Aboriginal Australians migrated over 40,000 years ago, while the Maori settled New Zealand from Polynesia, and both groups had hunter-gatherer societies. European powers like Britain colonized the regions starting in the 1500s, disrupting indigenous cultures and reducing populations significantly. Today the Aboriginal and Maori minorities make up a small percentage of the population in Australia and New Zealand respectively, while the majority of residents live in urban areas along the coasts like Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland and Wellington.
Nathaniel Bacon
Nathaniel Bacon was a wealthy colonist in Virginia who led a rebellion against the colony's governor in 1674. He gathered 400-500 men to attack local Indian tribes after citizens protested that the Indians should be moved or killed from frontier lands. The rebellion started when a group of militiamen raided Indian camps and killed 30 people. Bacon died of illness in 1676, ending the rebellion. The governor regained power by executing 23 rebel men.

Some peanut butter was contaminated with salmonella and sold to consumers. Records show the company that produced the peanut butter knew it was contaminated. As many as 8 people have died from eating the contaminated peanut butter. There is a question of whether company officials should face murder charges for knowingly selling contaminated peanut butter that led to deaths.

The first clearly dated Viking visit was in 793 CE when monks on the island of Lindisfarne, off the northeast coast of England, were surprised by the arrival of Vikings from Scandinavia. The Vikings were the last major migration from Scandinavia, the original home of the Goths and Vandals. Eirik Raude was the first person to successfully settle Greenland in the late 10th century after others had tried and failed. Leif Eriksson, Eirik's son, is believed to have been the first European to reach North America around the year 1000, approximately 500 years before Christopher Columbus's voyage. Vikings migrated for several reasons, including seeking more fertile land for farming and resources as populations grew
Georgia presentation
Georgia was the 13th and last colony founded in 1732 by James Oglethorpe. It was established as a buffer between the Spanish territory of Florida and the other 12 colonies to provide relief for debtors and a place for persecuted Protestants. Early challenges included conflicts with Spanish forces during the War of Jenkins' Ear in the 1730s-40s. The colony eventually transitioned away from its original restrictions and became a slaveholding territory focused on agriculture like indigo, rice and sugar.

Roanoke
The Roanoke Colony was established on Roanoke Island in present-day North Carolina in 1587 and was financed by Sir Walter Raleigh. When a supply ship returned from England three years later, the colonists had disappeared, becoming known as the "Lost Colony." The fate of the colonists remains a mystery, though theories include that they were absorbed by local tribes or died of starvation during a severe drought. Archaeological evidence uncovered on Roanoke Island, including English artifacts, provides some clues but no definitive answers about what ultimately happened to the Lost Colony.
The Lost Colony
John White led a third attempt to colonize Roanoke Island for England in 1587. 110 colonists settled at Roanoke but faced difficulties growing food and trading with local tribes. When White returned to England for supplies due to war, he found the colony abandoned three years later. The only clues were the letters "CRO" carved in a tree and "CROATOAN" carved on a post, indicating the colonists may have moved to Croatoan Island, but their ultimate fate remains unknown. Archaeological evidence and oral histories suggest some colonists may have assimilated with local tribes.

Lone womanarticle
Archaeologists were excavating a cave on San Nicolas Island believed to have been inhabited by the Lone Woman of San Nicolas. They had removed 40,000 buckets of sand over many months. However, the dig was stopped abruptly when concerns were raised that it was not being conducted legally. A film student, Tom Holm, had brought members of the Pechanga Native American tribe to visit the site, and the tribe subsequently demanded that all archaeological research on the island be halted.
