Government • The Iroquois had a type of government in north America • The five largest Iroquois tribes formed their own government called the Iroquois league • Situations that affected all the tribes, like war, and trade had to be decided by the great council • This government cut down the amount of fighting the tribes made and made the Iroquois a more peaceful community

THE LAKOTA
THE FRIENDS The great plains is covered with dry grasslands , with few trees and extreme weather. Life here is very different from Alaska or the pacific regions and people who lived here faced many challenges. One of the biggest groups here was named the Lakota which means friends.
The Lakota people had a complex religion. Purification was the sweating out of bad ‘spirts’ from the body. Outside a small domed tent, made from many layers of animal skin, rocks were heated in a fire. The super-hot rocks were carried inside the tent and tossed into water to make great clouds of steam. THE GREAT SPIRT
A MOVEABLE FEAST IN EARLY SPRING, THE LAKOTA INDIANS MOVED CLOSER TO RIVERS AND STREAMS FED BY MELTING SNOW. WOMEN WORKED IN THE FIELDS, PLANTING, TENDING, AND HARVESTING CORN, WHILE MEN WENT OF TO HUNT. THEY HAD TO FOLLOW THE BUFFALO TO SURVIVE AND EAT.
The Lakota primary way to survive was to hunt. They would make the buffalo’s bones to make tools. They would hunt buffalo , elk, and antelope. The poles on teepees are made out of buffalo skin. THE HUNT IS ON
BUFFALOS WERE IMPORTANT IN THE GREAT PLAINS. BUFFALO MEAT CAN BE DRIED AND MADE INTO JERKEY. SKIN OF THE BUFFALO WERE USED TO MAKE CLOTHING, SHEILDS, AND TEEPEE SIDES. BUFFALO BONES WERE USED TO MAKE TOOLS. LIFE IN THE GREAT PLAINS
