The Eastern Woodlands is a cultural area of the indigenous people of North America. The Eastern Woodlands extended roughly from the Atlantic Ocean to the eastern Great Plains, and from the Great Lakes region to the Gulf of Mexico, which is now occupied by the eastern United States and Canada.[1] The Plains Indians culture area is to the west; the Subarctic area to the north. The Indigenous people of the Eastern Woodlands spoke languages belonging to several language groups, including Algonquian,[2] Iroquoian,[2] Muskogean, and Siouan, as well as apparently isolated languages such as Calusa, Chitimacha, Natchez, Timucua, Tunica and Yuchi.
The earliest known inhabitants of the Eastern Woodlands were the Adena and Hopewell, who inhabited the Ohio and Mississippi river valleys between 800 BC and 800 AD.[3] These tribes, as well as the other Iroquoian-speaking people, were mound builders.[4] They also relied on farming to produce food because of the fertile land in the Ohio and Mississippi river valleys.[4] Because of this reliance on farming, these tribes did not migrate like the more northern Eastern Woodlands tribes and instead stayed in one place, which resulted in them developing new social and political structures.[5]
The Eastern Woodlands tribes located further north (Algonquian-speaking people) relied heavily on hunting to acquire food.[4] These tribes did not plant many crops, however, some tribes, such as the Ojibwe, grew wild rice and relied on it as one of their major food sources.[2] The type of animals these tribes hunted depended on the geographic location of the tribe.[5] For example, the tribes located close to the coast hunted seals, porpoises, and whales, while the more inland tribes hunted deer, moose, and caribou.[2][6] The meat was then either cooked to be eaten immediately or it was smoke-dried which preserved the meat for later consumption.[6]
Answer:
The correct answer is letter c) Surviving as the first permanent English colony in North America
Explanation:
In April 1606, a letter was issued by King James I of Inflair to Virginia Company with the intention of establishing colonies in Virginia. The Virginia Company was a privately held holding company looking for economic opportunity. They expected to profit from mineral wealth such as gold and iron ore, timber and wood products, and other natural resources. In addition, the letter named two subsidiaries of the company, the Virginia Company of London and the Virginia Company of Plymouth. The Virginia Company of London established the colony in Jamestown. Thus Jamestown became the first permanent English settlement in North America.
Economically it had a positive impact on the South, it allowed their economy not to be solely reliant on agriculture. However, as far as their society goes there wasn't a change in their belief system in their stance on African Americans. Many still considered them as second citizens until the Civil Rights Movement.
Answer:
Avicenna > Greek philosophers & the Canon of Medicine
Averroes > ....?
Maimonides > study of the Jewish Torah
Explanation:
To start with Avicenna, he was a brilliant self-taught filosopher who admitted to have read <em>Metafysics </em>by Aristoteles a thousand times without understanding a single sentence, until he finally saw the (filosophical) light.
He also wrote the Canon of Medicine, a classic in Medicine, that was used in Europe (in Montpellier, France, to be precisely) as late as 1650. That is, some 600 years later.
Maimonides was a Jewish Philosopher who wrote in the Arabic language (!). Remember that in those long-gone days of religious harmony in Spain (that was ruled by the Arabs) Cristians, Arabs and Jews lived happily together.
One of his books was on the Jewish Torah.
Now, Averroes was a real genius (of the exact sciences), but also a bit too honest for this world. He right believed that only true filosophical logic could lead us to the real truth - finishing a thought that Socrates was developing and on which Immanuel Kant spend almost his entiry life.
Averroes got in trouble when he stated that the Koran and the Bible are alegoric stories for ignorant people...
Some people say he is the father of modern medicine; I would say he is the (ignored) father of wisdom.
