A. No, It was a piece of red ocher with diagonal<\/strong> lines carved into it probably with an awl<\/strong>. (explain diagonal<\/strong> by having students make an X in the air) Sea shell beads with a hole in each, probably strung as bracelets or necklaces were also found.<\/span><\/p>\n

Native Americans of North America the \u201cAmerican Indian\u201d Review<\/span><\/h1>\n

Native Americans came to the America\u2019s around 14,000 years ago. Their cooperation<\/strong> with one another within their tribe or clan helped them survive just like early modern man. Same as early Africans, they told their history from generation<\/strong> to generation<\/strong> by word of mouth by storytelling. They were very superstitious<\/strong> like the Africans as well. They made sculptures<\/strong> and other objects, like fetishes<\/strong>, to protect them from the evils of everyday life. Their Chiefs and Shaman<\/strong> gave these objects special magical powers to protect them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Q. What art did the \u201cNative American Indians make?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Different art became important to Native American Indians from four separate areas of America:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Native Americans from the Northwest were great wood carvers. Totem Poles<\/strong> were their form of Art.<\/span>
    \n .<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Natives from the Southwest were great potters, so, pottery and basket weaving were their Art.<\/span>
    \n .<\/span><\/li>\n
  • The Plains Indians from middle of America were known for their Navaho blanket weaving and pictographs<\/strong>, which were drawings that told their stories on leather hides.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Natives from the Northeast made Ohta dolls from wood and joined in yearly Doll Dances to ask for good fortune and good health. They also made other trinkets, which they wore around their necks to protect them from evil spirits.<\/span>
    \n .<\/span><\/li>\n
  • All of these natives also made beautiful baskets.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    It is important to note that most of this Native American Art was originally not<\/strong> made as Art, but to assist them with their everyday life. As Europeans began to appreciate the handiwork of the Native American objects, they began to collect them as Art. This trading between the Natives and Europeans only happened within the past few hundred years.<\/span><\/p>\n
