5. Where did the tribe live? Did you know that the Native Americans didn’t have brick houses? My tribe usually built their village around a stream and with a forest near by. I think the way they set up their village had a lot of thought. Photo Credit: image quest Back to Table of Contents

6. What religion/traditions did they follow? Does your family have traditions? Well I do! My tribe is known as the Mohawk because most jobs for men are to sift sand to find gems and bring them to the tribes leader to trade for money. Also as the Europeans came to North America the Iroquois slowly became Christian. I think your religion is a big part of your daily life. Photo Credit: clip art Back to Table of Contents

7. What kinds of games did they play? A long time ago there were no game consoles to play on so they had to make up games to play so they had something to do. The Iroquois played lacrosse like we do today. But as the ball they took a rock or bone and covered it with deer skin. Also they used sticks and woven grass as the net.

A man’s responsibilities are to hunt or fish for food and to do chores away from home. A women's responsibilities are to care for the family and to be there for the family. The children worked with there mom & dad and did there own chores like made sure no crows were eating out of the corn fields. Photo Credit: clip art Back to Table of Contents
