Life In The 17th Century By Tim Lambert SOCIETY IN 17th CENTURY ENGLAND During the 17th century the population of England and Wales grew steadily. Native American Legends, Folk Tales, and Stories Native American mythology has a very rich cultural history of its own. In the telling of tales, many things can be taught or learned. This is one of the ways that many tribes kept their cultures alive; it was not just a collection of stories, but of their beliefs, their ways, and their lives. Many legends are still told; some old, some new, but all are part of the beautiful culture that the indigenous peoples of North America have had and still have. In the telling of some of these stories, I will be handing along things that were told from grandmother to granddaughter; grandfather to grandson, for many generations. These stories, in and of themselves, are near to sacred for many groups of people.
Top 10 Civilizations That Mysteriously Disappeared Throughout our history, most civilizations have either met a slow demise or were wiped out by natural disasters or invasion. But there are a few societies whose disappearance has scholars truly stumped: 10. The Olmec Women in the 17th Century In the 17th century the professions (lawyer, doctor) were closed to women. However some women had jobs. Some of them worked spinning cloth. Native American Homes: Wigwams, Longhouses, Tepees, Lodges, and other American Indian houses There were many different types of American Indian houses in North America. Each tribe needed a kind of housing that would fit their lifestyle and their climate. Sponsored Links Since North America is such a big continent, different tribes had very different weather to contend with.

Naturally, Native Americans developed different types of dwellings to survive in these different environments.
Propaganda Posters of World War Two "QUANTUM SHOT" #650Link - article by Simon Rose and Avi Abrams Warped, Twisted "Hall of Mirrors" vs. Actual Truth During World War Two, propaganda posters became something of an art form and some examples are very well known even today.

(the original of the Stalin's poster is here) Life In The 18th century By Tim Lambert Society in 18th Century Britain In the late 18th century life the industrial revolution began to transform life in Britain. 03.02.03: Plains Indians: An Interdisciplinary Unit of Study I participated in the seminar on Everyday Life in Early America. Currently, the New Haven Curriculum for first grade includes the study of Native Americans, and their beliefs, institutions, ideals, traditions, and conflicts. However, it is not developed extensively and does not include sufficient resources, goals, objectives or rationale for such a study. The Social Studies curriculum is in draft form and does not offer a significant amount of support or a detailed outline of instruction. This seminar on everyday life in early America is the perfect opportunity to merge my newly gained insights and knowledge with the open-ended curriculum and interdisciplinary studies. This seminar and its topics of discussion has increased my preparation and added to my personal background knowledge of Early America.
