Marcties Pendergrass Topic 5 DQ 1
A sense of identity brings the Naïve American people together, but modern life and being uprooted from their original homeland has affected their way of life. Even as some things have been adopted by the tribes, there has also been culture appropriation by the dominant European-American culture. Their traditional footwear is made from animal hides and skins. There is a high regard for the spirits and shamans and protection of the earth as a way of giving back to the society (Tribal Directory. Com). Native Americans mainly maintain their cultural heritage through art, language, way of life and tradition wear (Tribal Directory. Com).

The spiritual culture of the Native Americans emphasizes the place of nature, including the sun, moon and earth, with animals and plants also being objects of worships or cultural symbols of life (Nagle, Killcoyne, & Russo, 2015). Besides being animists, the rituals and worship ceremonies also take into account the role of Spirits and the Holy people. The headgears and use of eagle feathers during ceremonies is common among the Native Americans.

The Native American people are not a monolithic people, but they share similarities, with their belief in the spirit world and the cultures intertwined with the nature. The reservations even as cultural and spiritual centers, with the older members playing a crucial role in preserving culture (Usatourist.com, 2014). Since the arrival of Europeans, the Native American people were removed from their original lands forcibly, with even the passage of the Indian Removal Act of 1830. Nowadays they are concentrated in reservations and townships hat were allocated to the tribes.
