Indian Tribes
Choctaw Indians
Chumash Indians
•
•
• Lived in the California region
• The Chumash Indians were able
to enjoy a more prosperous
environment than most other
tribes in California because they
had resources from both the land
and the sea
• With an oral tradition, much
history was lost when the
Chumash Indian population was
all but decimated in the 1700s
and 1800s by the Spanish mission
system

Lived in the Southeast region
The Choctaw are native to the
Southeastern United States and
members of the Muskogean linguistic
family, which traces its roots to a
mound-building, maize-based society
that flourished in the Mississippi River
Valley for more than a thousand years
before European contact
Forcibly removed from Mississippi to
Oklahoma on the Trail of Tears
Sixteen years later, in 1847, they sent
$170 in donations to the Irish poor who
were starving due to the Potato Famine
(diseased 1845-1849). Although other
crops were being grown, they were
marked for export by the British rulers.
Indian Tribes
Comanche
• Lived in the Great Plains
region
• They are the stereotype
Indian living in teepees and
going to war.
• Comanche is the Ute word
for “enemy”
• In their language, they call
themselves Numinu (the
people)
Cheyenne Indians
• Lived in the Great Plains region
• The U.S. government forced
the Cheyenne to move to
Oklahoma during the 1800's,
but some escaped and fled
north into Montana. Today
there are two Cheyenne
tribes, one in Oklahoma and
the other in Montana.
• Their government was lead by
4 from each tribe and ALL had
to agree before action could
be taken (consensus).
Apache Indians
• Lived in the Southwest region
• Around the 1730s, the Apache Indians began to
battle with the Spaniards. The battles were long
and bloody, and often resulted in many deaths.
Finally in 1743 a Spanish leader agreed to
designate areas of Texas for the Apaches to live,
easing the battle over land. In a ceremony in
1749, an Apache chief buried a hatchet to
symbolize that the fighting was over, thus the
term we use today, “bury the hatchet.”
