The Cherokee Indians
... of Iroquoian
language and their ancestral relatives (the Iroquois) occupied much of the
Northeast cultural area.
The name Cherokee was probably given to them by outsiders since the
word Cherokee means, "people of different speech." The name the Cherokee's
had for themselves was Ani-yun-wiya which means, "real people."
Villages were placed along rivers and streams so they could take
advantage of the rich black soil for farming. Corn was their main source of
food, along with wild plants and roots that were common to their homeland.

Watching The Box Watch Peter H
... worst. The other claims that television is a trap, a snare which can corrupt the minds of America. Most people, I believe (without any great mass of conclusive evidence), do not take any part in this debate. They're much too busy watching Julia Child teach how one should choose the ingredients for Beef Wellington or enjoying the high humor and quick wit of some cartoon or comic opera.
In "Watching TV", three citizens share their personal experience with television and conception of the medium and its role in their individual lives. The writers are not professional journalists or professional commentators. Instead, they are members of the general public who fe ...

Nature 2
... into the thin air. However, many waves never survive long enough to reach the shores. Arriving from all directions at a pier or causeway, they flow together in intricate patterns greeting each other and sharing the stories of their journeys. At times, these waves seem to dance as they flow north to south, and then change directions, drifting to the east and then back to the west as if they were gliding smoothly across a newly waxed dance floor. Yet it is not only the crystal clear water that contributes to the beauty of the scene.
The variety of boats that harbor in the bays and ports around Lake Michigan also add to the excitement of a normal day on the lake. ...

They used other physical conditioning techniques as well, not necessarily for their health, but because of the amount of stamina the game requires at high levels of competition.

... initiation rites that consisted of long ceremonies that would take a person from the profane world into the world of the scared (Durkheim). Since the idea of entering the sacred world was such a special occasion, proper rituals were enacted. The Native Americans focused extensively on rituals in joining a specific culture or tribe, involving the whole community and bringing everyone together throughout the area. These bonding rituals reiterated Durkheim's belief that everyone belonged to a specific social structure rather than being an individual.

It will be nearly fifty years before the people represented by these pieces of time are honored for their diverse culture.
