SS8H1 The student will evaluate the development of Native American cultures and the impact of European exploration and settlement on the Native American culture in Georgia.
A. Describe the evolution of Native American cultures
(Paleo, Archaic, Woodland, and Mississippian) prior to European contact.
4 Different Pre-historical Georgia Cultures or Traditions
Paleo-Indian
Archaic
Woodland
Mississippian
Paleo-Indian Period
Earliest known Indian Group
Extremely Primitive Living
Lived in small groups
Depended on animals for their survival
Constantly moving to follow animal herds
No Stable or Permanent homes
Usually dead by age 30
Archaic Period
8,000 – 1,000 B.C.
Slightly more advanced than Paleo Indians
Lived in slightly larger family groups
Depended on small game (animals such as deer, squirrels, birds), wild fruit, vegetables and shellfish for survival
More stable homes
Woodland Period
1,000 B.C. – 1,000 A.D.
Lived in large villages
Had Very stable home
Depended less on game animals
Invented farming
Invented bow and arrow
Extensive trade with other Tribes
Were known as Moundbuilders
2 Examples of mounds:
Effigy Mound – Rock Eagle
Temple Mounds - Kolomoki,
Etowah,
Ocmulgee
Mississippian Period
A.D. 1,000 – 1600
Most advanced culture
Extensive farming
Large permanent settlements with chiefdoms
Villages protected by palisades (walls) or moats (ditches)
These were the Indians that met Hernando de Soto when he explored Ga for Spain
Changes
As each culture learned new technology (weapons, farming), they became advanced in their lifestyle
The Earlier cultures hoped only to survive and had no need for organized towns, government, or religion but as the food sources changed and led to more stable lives, each culture advanced and its need for civic organization increased.
This can be seen by the changes made such as new weapons invented, better and more permanent homes, villages with governmental structure and protection
With better technology, Leisure time increased which led to the invention of games, art, and other activities
Religious beliefs and practices increased as evidenced by the ceremonial mounds built for worship and burial practices.
ACTIVITY
On a sheet of paper
1. Write a page describing the way technology led to the advancement of the Pre-historic cultures. Use at LEAST three specific examples of change brought about by technology
OR
2.Draw a series of pictures (4) depicting each of the Prehistoric cultures. In each picture show the technological advancements that differentiated one culture from the previous culture
