Environments

By Lukas Christman

Location - Hopi

!   Lived in Arizona

!   Southwestern USA

Location -Fox

!   Lived in Michigan and Wisconsin

!   In the Eastern Woodlands area

Environment -Hopi !   This was a harsh

environment to live in.

!   Most of this area is dry desert.

!   There is little rain or other sources of water.

!   There is not much vegetation, and only small animals.

Environment -Fox !   The Eastern Woodlands

is mostly forest. The forest provides many resources.

!   There are many lakes and rivers for fish and drinking water.

!   The woods are full of animals to hunt and food to gather.

Clothing -Hopi !   To protect themselves

from the sun,they made clothes from cotton they grew and wove into cloth.

!   Women wore mantas which are dresses that fastened at one shoulder to stay cool.

!   Everyone wore deer skin moccasins to protect their feet from the hot, hard ground.

Clothing -Fox !   Women wore

wraparound skirts.

!   Men only wore breechcloth and leggings in the warm summers.

!   In cold weather they wore ponchos and hats made from deer skin and otter fur.

!   They also wore moccasins.

Food -Hopi !   Because there was not

much food for hunting or gathering, the Hopis were expert farmers.

!   They grew corn, beans, squash, cotton, and tobacco using irrigation and dams.

!   They also raised turkeys.

Food-Fox !   The woods provided much of what they needed.

!   The Fox hunted game, mostly deer and buffalo.

!   They gathered greens, nuts, berries, and honey.

!   They trapped beavers and speared fish.

!   They also grew corn, beans and squash in small gardens.

Shelter-Hopi !   Because there was not wood available for shelter, the Hopi made pueblo houses out of adobe, which is clay and straw baked into bricks.

!   Pueblo houses are like apartment buildings and have many different units built on several levels.

!   Each family had their own unit.

!   They used ladders to get to the upper levels.

Shelter-Fox !   Because there was so

much wood available, the Fox built wigwams.

!   Wigwams are wooden frames covered with sheets of birchbark. It is tied on using rope or strips of wood.

Tools/Weapons -Hopi !   Hopi hunters used bows

and arrows.

!   Because they did so much farming, the Hopi had many farming tools made from bone and wood.

!   They used looms to weave cotton .

Tools/Weapons - Fox !   Because there was so

much wood, they used it for many things. Fox hunters made bows and arrows and spears.

!   They made large bark bins to store food.

!   They used bone tools to grind corn.

Art/Music - Hopi

!   Hopi are famous for kachina dolls.

!   They made silver earrings, bracelets, and rings.

!   They make pottery and baskets.

Art/Music-Fox !   Fox are known for their

porcupine quill embroidery. Porcupine quills were softened, dyed and woven into leather or birchbark. These materials were unique to this area.

!   They also make pottery and bead work.

Beliefs-Hopi

!   Kachina dolls represent religious figures.

Beliefs-Fox !   The Fox Tribe believed

everything had magic.

!   Children were taught to find a relationship with something in nature, like an animal.

Government-Hopi

Government-Fox !   TheFox tribe had two

chiefs.

!   The peace chief, who was born into the position, was in charge of domestic affairs.

!   The war chief, who was elected, was in charge of the military.

Warfare-Hopi !   Because they lived in a

area without many resources, there were not many other tribes around to compete with, so the Hopi were quite peaceful.

!   The Hopis traded with other tribes for items they needed.

Warfare-Fox

!   Because they lived in an area with so many desirable resources, the Fox had to compete with other tribes frequently.

!   Although they sometimes traded with other tribes, usually they fought each other. The Fox had many enemies. This is why they needed a war chief and an army of warriors.

Important People - Hopi

!   Chief Loloma supported public education for Hopi children.

Important People - Fox

!   Black Hawk was a warrior that fought for the British.

Conclusion -Hopi The environment each tribe lived in, played a big role in shaping their culture.

The Hopi lived in a harsh environment with few resources. It was a challenge to live and there were not many tribes that choose to live in this area. This made the tribe value community and sharing. They had to work together to survive. This is reflected in their homes, where they all lived together in pueblos. They raised crops together as a group. They were peaceful and traded with other tribes to get the things they needed.

Conclusion - Fox The Fox tribe lived in an area that had many desirable resources, that other people wanted. This caused them to be less trustful and more aggressive. You can see this reflected in their lifestyle. The Fox built individual houses, rather than shared housing like the Hopi. They lived more separate lives. They had individual small gardens rather than large community fields. They elected a war chief and had an army to fight the many people that raided them and tried to take their things.

Which Would I Choose? If I had to choose, I would live with the Hopi tribe. The Fox tribe has more food and resources but their lives were much more violent. Although the daily life of the Hopi was more difficult, I would enjoy the way they work and live together.
