62. Describe how the climate and geography of the middle of the continent resulted in the specific food ways of the Plains
Indians.
ANSWER: The Native Americans who lived in the area that is now the American Midwest were mostly nomadic
hunters, following the great herds of bison across the flat plains for sustenance. The land was rugged and
generally unsuitable for agriculture. Those nations that settled along the fertile Mississippi and Missouri
River valleys, however, developed farm-based societies supported by crops of beans, corn, and squash.

63. Why do Some Native Americans reject the concept that poor nutrition, bodily malfunctions, or an infection by a virus

Chapter 05 - Native Americans
or bacteria can cause sickness?
ANSWER: Some Native Americans reject the concept that poor nutrition, bodily malfunctions, or an infection by a
virus or bacteria can cause sickness. An evil external source is often identified instead. Some Dakota, for
instance, blame type 2 diabetes on disease-transmitting foods provided by whites with the intention of
eliminating all Native Americans. An outbreak of serious respiratory infections due to the Hanta virus
was explained by Navajo healers as being due to rejection of traditional ways and adoption of
convenience foods. Some Native Americans attribute alcoholism to soul loss and the cultural changes
due to domination by white society.

64. Briefly discuss why sharing food is an important aspect in most Native American societies today.
ANSWER: Sharing food is an important aspect of most Native American societies today. Food is usually offered to
guests, and in some tribes it is considered rude for a guest to refuse food. It is also impolite to eat in front
of others without sharing. Any extra food is often given to members of the extended family. In some
nations of the Southwest, meals are prepared and eaten communally. Each woman makes a large amount
of one dish and shares it with the other families, who in turn share what they have prepared. Many
Native Americans find the idea of selling food inconceivable; it is suggested that this is one reason there
are few restaurants featuring Native American specialties.

65. Name and describe the three transitional adaptations of members of the Ojibwa tribe that have been identified and
associated with increasingly acculturated lifestyles. Is it assumed that these transitions may be typical of other native
groups?
ANSWER: Three transitional adaptations of members of the Ojibwa (also called Chippewa) tribe, identified by three
different lifestyles, may serve as a model for the adaptations made by members of other Native
American groups. The first stage of adaptation is traditional; during this stage parents and grandparents
speak the Ojibwa language at home, practice the Midewiwin religion, and participate in Native
American cultural activities such as feasts and pow-wows. The second stage is more acculturated.
English is the primary language, although some Ojibwa also is spoken. Catholicism is the preferred
religion, and the family is involved in activities of the majority society. In the third Ojibwa lifestyle—the
pan-traditional stage—the family speaks either English or Ojibwa exclusively; practices a religion that is
a combination of Native American and Christian beliefs, such as the Native American Church; and is
actively involved in activities of both traditional Native American and white societies.
