Abstract

The article offers information on Indians from various tribes of the Northern Plains in North America. These Plains Indians were known as fierce warriors and adopted their lifestyle around the buffalo. As the animals move, so did the people, and even their art reflected this migration. Because the tribes lived close to one another and shared elements of their cultures, they developed similar ceremonies, customs and values. The Plains Indians culture embraces all things on earth and sees them as siblings.

68. Westward Migration of Native Americans.

Author

Plummer, Marguerite R.

Subjects
Seventeenth century, Plains peoples (North American peoples) -- Social life & customs, History of imperialism, Native American migrations
Abstract

By the early 1640’, competition among European empires for commerce and colonies in North America was intense. England was expanding its permanent settlements in Virginia, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. Primarily interested in agriculture and colonization, England joined the fur trade rivalry. France claimed the Saint Lawrence River Valley, founded Quebec in Canada, and formed trade alliances with the Indians. By the mid-1600’, converting the Indians to Christianity and exploring the continental waterways had become major goals for the French. Holland claimed the Hudson River Valley as New Netherland and founded New Amsterdam on Manhattan Island. The Dutch engaged in the fur trade, agriculture, shipbuilding, fishing, and whaling. The stage was set for imperial conflicts among the Dutch, French, and English over American trade and territory. These conflicts inevitably involved the American Indians who hunted, farmed, and traded throughout the contested lands.
