Crossing from Nova Scotia
The Indians of making-east olto less you notice of their colleagues dell.ovest, but not for these little interesting, they are the Indians of the aboriginal populations of the pi?rientale part of the continent American. In particular we take care ourselves of those trib?he lived in the zone. These aboriginal populations have lived between the forests, the rivers and the coasts of this continent for migliaia of years and theirs descendants are still here today. The Atlantic Provinces (that they correspond to following be Canadian: Terranova & Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Isola of Prince Edoardo) still are popolate from many groups aboriginals between which: Inuit (better you notice like Eschimesi), Micmac. Exist numerous situated archaeological, historical and naturalistic, nonch?archi national managed from the autorit?anadesi that they offer l.opportunit?i to approach themselves the culture and the history of these. A recent travel in these lands has given the possibilit?i to know some to me of devout? of being able some to then give account in these pages. In particular, the zone taken in consideration?.estrema propaggine orients them of the great Canadian nation, is worth to dire.000 years some zones centers them of Terranova has been. Marine I arched to us, Eschimesi Groswater and Dorset, Recent, Indian Indians Preistorici Beothuk and Micmac, European Ages them and Permanent. Situated the archaeological pi?ntico places the first takeovers in. The first inhabitants arrived from the Southern Labrador through. The Micmac Indians reached directly from Nova Scotia, while the Europeans, that they arrived from east, were initially vichinghi of Greenland whom they made alone. One seen on the inside of Terranova With the single exception of the continuum Indian Preistorici. Beothuk, every ethnic group was to the end driven away and replaced from an other, with which it did not have no relation, but that it had known. The Marine Indians I arched there were the first inhabitants dell.isola of Terranova, where reached, like saying, crossing the Strait of takeovers depended mainly on disponibilit?i the food. Some diggings in coastal zones of the Labrador have evidenced the construction of Longhouse to use trade them, while other situated ones make to mean above all that it was common also l.uso of small stretches, when became necessary to divide trib?n the pi?iccoli groups. This population, at par of other groups born to you, programmed the own movements ages them in coincidence of the presence to remain close to the great colonies of seals and other mammals dell.inverno, moved themselves all.interno in order to intercept the great herds of caribou during their migration. The ritrovamento of numerous tools like dark chisels, axes and testifies of operosit?i the this people that it prepreferred l.ardesia like raw materials for these tools in virt?ella its facilit?E. easy to think that with this equipment they have been in degree. Other information on these first inhabitants of Terranova come from the discovered necropoli to Twillingate and Port Aux Choix. tombe, beyond to the skeletons, has been finds again many objects to you that came leave you beside the emains affinch?otessero being. The Eschimesi Dorset came down from the Arctic zones approximately 4. and they were settled down initially along the dell.attuale coast Labrador. Their marine economy very the adatt?ll.ambiente sub-Arctic. They will coexist with the last ones I arched to us Marine and popolarono the coast. The archeologi they think that, approximately 1. Groswater crossed the Strait of Beautiful Isle and arrived. A pair of centuries pi?ardi, also the Eschimesi Dorset reached some sull.isola and popolarono above all the coasts. The encampments of Paleo-Eschimesi were found, like saying, along. Some of these, like as an example that one of Port Aux Choix, were rather large and probably they re-united several families for l.annuale period of hunting to the seals in waters of the Gulf of. Other takeovers turn out pi?iccoli and, with every probabilit?fanno reference to groups of hunters. The Dorset continued the Arctic tradition dell.uso of the steatite ones for the fabrication of pots and lamps to oil to use for find to Fleur de Lys where they were digs to you migliaia of steatite blocks of from the Eschimesi Dorset, in the characteristic course of a millenium they were it harpoon and tools similar to burins with distinguish instead for the double blade on the tip. During l.ultimo preistorico period the NATO you of Atlantic Canada. The style and the tipologia of the manufatti ones reflect these changes and generally thought Bench?ia that the Marine Indians I arched is the grandfathers of the Beothuk, the archeologi prefers to distinguish. In particular the situated ones of the Cow Head, Beaches and Little Passage have shown these cultural variations and l.esame to the radiocarbonio it has dated these ritrovamenti around to 1300-1600 years ago. The manufatti ones are generally of small dimensions and include manufatti find again to you in Quebec and Labrador makes to think next to frequent contacts with populations of these zones. In situated of Boyd.s Cove, the stone tools and also of iron, with to other archaeological evidences, they indicate clearly that the population of the Recent Preistorici Indians represents the ethnic stock from which they are escapes the Beothuk. The Indians Micmac (or Miq-Maq) of Nova Scotia at least knew dell.isola dell.esistenza of Terranova from 16esimo the century and probably they travelled through the Strait of I coast in order to hunt sull.isola caribou and other animals from fur. The Micmac probably belongs to the same linguistico stock algonchino of the Innu of the Labador and of the Beothuk. The first Micmac di Terranova hunters were probably single. Demographic pressures, one increasing question from the market of the skins and problems of game in Nova Scotia beyond to an increment of coloni French to Terranova attracted a great number of Micmac from Nova Scotia that were settled down. L.area in which they settled down initially fun the bay of S. George on the western coast from which the Micmac increased is towards the southern coast that towards that one orients them. This population sfrutt?nche the resources dell.interno dell.isola above all for the skins that came then exchanged with the Europeans. The Micmac continued to construct to their traditional rooms and various layers of corteccia birchen on a structure of wood poles and came isolates in winter with bushes and an other layer to you. Siccome the porcospino not?resente to Terranova, perline of E glass other manufatti replaced the traditional pricks decorated to you on. The people of hunters of Terranova had continuously to program the own movements, to adapt the technologies and to be involved a sufficient number of persons for being able to benefit from the presence of migratory animals, they are mammalian they. were constructed palissades of bushes in autumn in order to force the distance of caribou towards chosen zones for the ambushes the way, from the capes they came characterizes you the groups of seals that in spring still approached themselves the coast and, came captured the migratory birds and their eggs. One insoppettata variet?i methods to cook the food was. Like pointed out, one thinks that the Marine Indians I arched are i. In particular, l.insediamento Beothuk di Boyd.s Cove evidences in clear way contiguit?ra the two stung people showing of arrows, knives and other tools del all similar between they and dell.arrivo Prima degli European to Terranova, the Beothuk had increased the own presence nearly all l.isola, but they had predelight the coast orients them for being pi?icini alle zones of. Sure the situated Beothuk pi?onosciuto of the zone?oyd.s currently?ualificato Cove that like Provincial Historic Situated. During l.autunno and l.inverno the Beothuk they were moved towards l.interno where they hunted and they put down the traps long the course. To the end of the 1700 quest.area divenne the center of the earth occupied from the Beothuk nonch?l they last shelter. at the dell.arrivo moment of the first coloni and European fishermen to Terranova?i?orretto to estimate in less than a thousand the real presence of this population sull.isola. made considering the situated dimensions of the archaeological ones, the censuses of the periods succeeded to you and a comparison with analogous populations of. The Beothuks elements lived in independent bands of approximately 30-50, while tribale l.affiliazione was based sull.uniformit?ella. With every probabilit?la pi?ignificativa cultural tradition it was the Ceremony dell.Ocra that it came celebrated painted members of the trib?enivano annually on the face and the body with dell.ocra red that one risen of brand represented. For the babies, come to the previous light nell.anno, this represented a sign of initiation and of l.ocra a punishment shape was considered. The Ceremony dell.Ocra had place in spring and lasted 10 days during which organized festivities came, dances and you play. The Beothuks belongings beyond covering of the same substance the tombe painted of red ocher also the objects of they of their defunct ones, adding also one religious valence to this custom. Bench?.uso dell.ocra has been found also between the Marine Indians Arched to us and between the aboriginal populations of the Atlantic coast, extensive un.applicazione like that one of the Beothuk, between. The leadership of the bands of hunters, fishermen and binders typically was entrusted to an element adult, expert male who was respected for its wisdom, equit?d others qualit?I privileges of these figures was realized in houses pi?randi. the term capo. it goes however meant like advising and reference figure, without that power of autorit?ssoluta that the Beothuk did not recognize to it, tant.?ero that important decisions came. One thinks that there were also figures of sciamani that can be described like intermediaries between the people and the elements that and ceremonies apt to maintain the relations with these powers harmonious and in order to assure the happened one of the battered ones of hunting. They came moreover calls to you in order to cure the sick ones and for other rituals. Given to the dispersion of the bands on the territory and the consequent geographic?acile separation to think to cerrta an autonomy and self-sufficiency of the single groups and therefore also to a lacked cooperation between the bands in case ostilit?ei comparisons of. However this attegiamento cambi?ll.inizio of 1800 when various bands of Beothuk formed an alliance and was helped vicendevolmente in the fight for the soppravvivenza. The Beothuk was food hunters, fishermen and binders that they mainly counted on the caribou, salmoni and seals that migravano seasonally and that could be captured in specific zones and Conseguentemente the Beothuk was moved from a place all.altro in function of the habits and the habitats of this species. To ci?essi supplement they took advantage of also large variet?i other land resources and marine like small animals from fur, fish, mammals navy, crustaceans, molluschi, birds and eggs. Bench?uesti Indian often come represent to you in struck of hunting in the forests, in verit?ssi passed the greater part of. Between the end of December and May the groups of hunters oed on the capes to hunting of seals with their harpoon seal oil extremely were appreciate after months pass to you to feed yourself. The technique was not much dissimilar one from that one of the European whale-men and took advantage of harpoons legacies to long. Once hit, the seal tried to get rid dall.arpione, but sfiniva in an impossible escape and came itself then recovered from i. Once that the rivers got rid from the ice, also the families caught up the coast for the collection of molluschi and other species. Subsequently, in May and june, they came taken eggs of the migratory birds that came bubbled and conserved under shape of. Moreover they came obtained of the species of salsicce made of eggs, fat person of seal, liver and other ingredients. Pi?vanti in the season, could capitare l.occasione to capture some whale that a lot appreciate represented an event to. An other moment a lot important in the cycle dell.alimentazione of the Beothuk was constituted dall.annuale arrival of the salmoni that dall.Atlantico they went back the rivers of Terranova for the reproduction. The salmone it was an immediate food source, but he was still pi?mportante in order to create the alimentary supplyes for l.inverno through. However, the pi?ignificativa food source remained the hunting to the caribou that it happened to the end dell.estate. enormous herds of these animals, fattens you from pasture months. To this point, the Beuthuk hunters entered in action forcing the distance of the caribou with palissades and natural obstacles came in this way address to you towards circumscribed areas where the Indians could easy kill some in quantit?on theirs arch and. The?ari exploitation of this animal to that one of the Indians of plains dell.ovest in the comparisons of the bisonte. used the meat, the skin, the boneses and quant.altro was of one. When Giovanni I coast arriv?ulle coasts of Terranova in 1497, not incontr?essun aboriginal even if rilev?egni of human presence. Also the exploratory arrivals succeeded you of other and seafaring ones did not give news of encounter meant to you with the NATO to you. In order much time the Beothuk was maintained at a distance from coloni the white men who in the time attended the coasts dell.isola. The first contact of a sure importance and formalit?vvenne in a 1612 when group of English guided from Governor John Guy rec?resso a Beothuk takeover where there was an encounter with. However it was not s?ito to us and end towards met?el 1700 did not signal other contacts of one sure importance also perch? Not c.erano Terranova missions, n?ommercio of Indian skins, n?genti and therefore the information on the NATO were particularly. Subsequently, instead, the Beothuk lost l.accesso to the northern and western coasts because of the presence of the Micmac and was forced to share the resources of the Northern Peninsula. Moreover, the continuous expansion of the coloni English from the Avalon Peninsula until the bays of Trinity and Bonavista, them priv?i many of their bases from which organized struck. They were begun therefore to record crashs in increasing number between coloni and Beothuk that was felt threatens dall.invadenza to you of the white men who were seen like contenders in the race to the resources. In a 1720 group of fishermen insedi?ungo the rivers of Head of their lands and their resources, destroyed the emplacements and armed that scacci?li Indian. This episode was the first violent crash with the Beothuk. Very soon the Beothuk was forced from the coloni to renounce to all their alimentary resources: from the birds navy and their eggs, to the seals (searched above all for their oil that served for l.illuminazione) until the animals from fur with a number of human victims, from a part and dall.altra, always. In the 1770 historian George Cartwright it wrote:. . I fear that the Beothuk race sar?otalmente extinguished in little years, because of always. Therefore the progressive lessening of disponibilit?i the alimentary resources costitu?enza doubt one of the root causes. To this contribu?icuramente also l.atteggiamento of total refusal of any level of integration to the way of life of i. In fact, with the exception of many trib?el the northeast, the Beothuk continued living in the traditional way, to dye itself of ocher, to. They thought that l.adozione of European uses could have rendered them still pi?ulnerabili and exposed to. For this reason ogniqualvolta that they came in possession of crews from fire, they destroyed to them instead learning to use them. To met?el XVIII century the Beothuk world had begun to collassare and the always pi?ipendente population divenne from the caribou and i. But this did not make other that to make to enter the Beothuk in.rotta.di.collisiione with the always pi?umerosi hunters of pellicce. Costoro was accustoms living to you in the forests and to place the traps that came regularly taken from the Indians whom of it they made stung for their nozzles governing English sent?n it must be sended one shipment in order to meet the Beothuk and to convince them to one cohabitation. In spite of a pacifist and collaborazionista spirit who seemed to animate the autorit?he saw with worry the increasing number of victims between the NATO to you, the crashs between coloni and Beothuk and the atricit?ontro quest.ultimi did not point out to diminish. Also a series of governmental dispositions that forbade the attacks to the NATO to you, did not have no reply. An ulterior attempt to enter in contact with the Beothuk was made in 1811 when Governor invi?l Ten. encampment and remained with the NATO to you a po. of time in order to try to convince them of their pacific intentions torn?l field after to have left 2 its men, trov?l desert field and the corpses of its marines. It was the sign that testified of the by now incurable breach between. In the years that followed the coloni they continued to invade the lands of the Beothuk that, in order to survive, tried to razziare some feracious reprisals from part of the coloni that they did not hesitate to. In 1823, 3 Beothuk women, by now to the extreme for the hunger and the hardships, surrendered to colono in the zone of the Notre Bay Checkerses and to bring back them to their people, but two of they died during. L.unica survivor, of Shanawdithit name, was then capacity in the house of a colono where it lived 5 years before dying anch.essa. And opinion diffused between the historians who during these 5 years the last survivors dell.etn?Beothuk are died in the forests. along dall.esploratore William Cormack, that it was first the European to cross l.interno dell.isola of Terranova, in 1822. The storys and also the numerous designs and illustrations that Shanawdithit has left, are become to you the pi?mportante source of. Shanawdithit mor?el june dl 1829 and from then comes commonly indicated like l.ultima of the Beothuk.. The explanation dell.estinzione of the Beothuk probably goes searched in with of historical, economic reasons and acclimatizes joined them to violent the ostilit?ei white men and the absolute opposition to integrate itself from proud part of this and noble one. These aboriginal populations have lived between the forests, the rivers and the coasts of this continent for migliaia of years and theirs descendants are still. Under: One representing statue a Beothuk Indian. ?na comunit?i it gets passionate you of old west American.
