The Native American's contributed many things to US culture. As far as language goes, words commonly used in English such as barbecue, cannibal, hurricane, maize, manatee, and tobacco all are originally from the Native American language. The Native Americans also introduced many new crops to the Europeans. Crops such as corn, squash, and beans would have remained unknown to the European's had it not been for the Native Americans.
Both the word "husky" and eskimo" come from the Alaskan Malamute tribe' word "Huskimas" "Hominy" is from the Powhatan language for maize or corn; as in hominy grits
Ryan Tunison Since europeans first began coming to the New World, many words used by Native Americans were incorporated into European languages and the English language spoken in the United States today. For example, words like moccasin, tomahawk, igloo, canoe, hurricane, and hammock started all as words used by Native American tribes. Another thing Native Americans gave to the Europeans was various crops not available in Europe. For instance, crops like corn, squash, beans, potatoes, and tomatoes were all imported from the New World to European countries. As one can see, the Native Americans contributed many things to Europe that caused many people to gain new experiences.
Upon arriving in the new world the Europeans were bombarded with new things to experience. of course the Europeans didn't have names for such things. So the question remains, what do we call these new things? Well, the Europeans weren't going to make up new words, so they used the Native Americans' words. These words include: tomahawk, canoe, moose, moccasin (Obviously), and, as my mother so graciously pointed out, husky. As fore newly discovered crops, they include the following: tobacco (The Big One), sugar cane, squash, pumpkins, chocolate (Delicious), and the their main crop, corn.
When the Europeans arrived in the Americas, they were greeted by the Native Americans. The Native Americans brought many new things to the European culture such as language and crops, that have been adopted into today's culture. To start off with, the Native Americans brought words to the English language, such as parka, toboggan, tobacco, and many other words that inspire the names of modern - day cities and towns, some local, such as Piscataway. Furthermore, as a result of two different cultures colliding, new crops were introduced. These crops consist of corn, squash, and tobacco. The Native Americans had a great effect on the lives of the Europeans, and also today's modern society.
Robert Young Europeans exploring the new world encountered many new things such as foods, land objects and animals. Due to the overwhelming amount of new things, the Europeans adopted words or phrases that the Native Americans had already created. The Europeans did tweak some of the words but all the words originated within the Native American tribes. Some of the words adopted are still used today such as raccoon, tomato, chocolate, avocado, pecan and many more. The Native Americans introduced many crops to Europeans. some include, corn, beans, squash, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, peppers, pineapples, tomatoes, peanuts, and tobacco.
Luke Harshaney The Native Americans have contributed vastly to The culture of the US. It's all but impossible to travail cross the US and not run into a town, geographical formation, or region named after a Native tribe, leader or folklore. As well, the general spirit of resolve in the face of an ever changing world, yet they still remain prosperous and hold on to thier cultural routes. Not only do native ideas of preserving nature govern their own lives, but they are passed on to us.
The native Americans have many footprints they made on the American culture including many words that derive from the American language such as the word tomato which means tomatl in native American. The natives didn't make an impact on the English language, they also made impact on the foods introduces to Europeans. food they introduced were yam rice peach pees and many more. the natives made a footprint on today modern American society.
When the Europeans came to the New World they learned new things from the Native Americans. They learned new words that we still use today. Some words that the Europeans learned were kayak, moose, wigwam, squash, racoon, tomato, chocolate, and many more words. The Europeans were also introduced to new crops. They were introduced to squash, tobacco, pineapples, peanuts, cocoa, yucca, papaya, jicama, potato, and many more.
Due to cultural diffusion the English language has expanded immensely. Words such as Eskimo, chipmunk and raccoon have all been introduced from the Native Americans to the Europeans. Many of the words they taught the Europeans are still used to this day. The Native Americans also showed Europeans crops. The cocoa bean, peanuts and papaya are all known thanks to the Native Americans. Without the Native Americans many of the crops and words used today would have never been discovered.
Many of the words we use today came from the Native Americans after the diffusion of culture with the European. There are many place names and food names that originated from the Native American languages, such as Algonquian, Nahuatl, and Quechua. State names, such as Mississippi and Michigan came from the Algonquian language. Mississippi came from the Algonquian word, mihsisiipiiwi, meaning great river. Michigan came from the word meehcakamiwi, meaning great sea. Oklahoma came from the Choctaw Indian language, meaning red people. Many food names also came from the Native Americans. Pecan came from the Algonquian word, pakani. Chocolate came from the Nahuatl word, xocolātl. Jerky came from the Quechua word ch'arki. Igloo came from the Inuktitut word, iglu. Some crops that the Native Americans introduced to the Europeans include avocado, raspberry, blueberry, cashew, cocoa, pecan, pumpkin, wild rice, maize, potatoes, tomatoes, pineapples, corn, peanut and pepper.
Native Americans have influenced our voices on a huge scale. Some of us don't even realize the words we speak every day are based on what the Natives spoke hundreds of years ago. Words like hickory, pecan, chipmunk, caribou, avocado, tapioca, bayou, savannah, blizzard, and poncho, all derive from their tongue. Even some of our state names are based off of Native American words and tribes. The Dakotas, Nebraska, Texas, Minnesota, Oregon, Arizona, and Ohio are some examples. Not only words and names, but crops too have been blessed upon us because of the natives. Guavas, papayas, pineapples, potatoes, beans, cacao, and manioc are all great things we have because of the Native Americans and the Colombian Exchange.
As the Europeans setteled into the new world, they were introduced to many new things. They had learned the natives way of life and saw how different they lived. The natives introduced them to the way they hunted, grew crops, and lived in their society.Although they were very different from the English, they eventually had picked up a few things. Words like moccassin,caribou, nebraska, canoe, igloo and many more have been added to today's vocabulary. Not only did the English pick up words, but they were introcuded to new crops. Crops such as squash, pineapples, tobacco, tomatoes and or course, pumpkins.
After discovering North America (new world), Europeans also discovered Native Americans (Indians). Native American culture gave a lot of input into our culture today. Some words from Native Americans we use are moccasins, hammock, hurricane, and canoe. We also have states names we got from Native American culture which are Nebraska and Arizona. We got many new crops from Native Americans which, was transported via the Colombian Exchange. Crops we got from Native Americans are tobacco, pumpkins, squash, peanuts, carrots, pineapples, corn, and cocoa. -Joey Fowler
Europeans learned and developed alot from Native Americans. They have heard and changed over one hundred Native American words to make it there own. Words such as moccasin, toboggan, canoe and moose are used alot in todays society. Native Americans introduced alot of crops to the Europeans also such as corn, tobacco, pumpkin, beans and squash. Most of the developments in the New World were originally Native American accoplishments.
Upon the Europeans' arrival to the New World, they were greeted with kindness and sincerety by the natives and were even introduced to their hunting and farming strategies. It is for these reasons that the English language as we know it today in some ways. Many of the words we speak are influenced by, or derived from, the language spoken by the Native Americans. Some examples of these words are moccasin, toboggan, canoe, and believe it or not, chocolate. Even some of the states here in the U.S are named after Native American tribes or influenced by words pre-existing in their language. Two examples are Ohio and Mississippi. The Native Americans, however, did not only contribute words and names , but also various different crops including potatoes, pineapples, pumpkins, and tomatoes.-Megan Bollenbach
Native Americans have contributed a plethora of ideas, new foods, and many other things. Native Americans have actually contributed many of the sports, games, and activities seen and played today, such as Lacrosse, tobogganing, relay races, and Tug-of-war. Words we use commonly in the american language that originated from the Native American language are Chipmunk, Muskrat, Pecan, Skunk, and Squash.
When the Europeans arrived in the Americas they brought many things such as diseases and crops. They also brought trade, but the Native American's language also contributed to the English life style as well as some words. Many of these words are states that we live in today, for example Nebraska, Minnesota and Organ. The English also adapted words for crops like, beans, papayas and one of my favorite fruits pineapples. The last way that the Native American's contributed to our culture is they created things like, blizzard, poncho and the savanna.
There are many words that are brought into the English language that came from the Native Americans. There are words we still use today such as hurricane,canoe,husky,moose exc..... There were many crops that introduced to the Europeans in there arrival here. Some crops are Pineapple,cocoa,pumpkin,avacado,corn and other more.
When the Europeans came to the New World they learned about several new things that they didn't have back in Europe. They had new crops like corn, beans, potatoes and tobacco that they would bring back with them. They even learned new words, some of them like raccoon, moccasin, moose, tomahawk and many other words that we still use today.
When the Eurpoeans came over to the New World, they didn't speak any of the Native American language. Native Americans had a huge impact on the way America came to be. The Native American language, though different from the Europeans native language, was adopted into a part of the language we speak today. Many of the common words we hear today are from the Native Americans, such as: moccasins, toboogan, tobacco, canoe, and even igloo. Even states in America are named from words given from the Natives for example, North and South Dakota. Another very important thing Europeans got from the Native Americans was the foregin foods they grew. The Eurpoeans traded with the Native Americans and through that many crops were introduced to both. From the Native Americans the Europeans got pumpkins, corn, tobacco, chocolate, pineapples, turkey, and potatoes. -Lauren Neumany (( :
After sailing across the Atlantic Ocean and arriving in the Americas, European explorers made quick work of taking advantage of the land's inhabitants, the hospitable Native Americans. Although the time spent in the Americas was mostly composed of colonization, trade, the looting of precious stones and minerals, and mass murder of Native American tribes, the Europeans managed to inherit afew words from their friends the "indians". Some states such as the state of Arkansas (named after Quapaw tribe) and the state of Massachusetts (named after Massasoit). The Europeans also borrowed words from the indigenous languages in the Americas relating to animals. The words chipmunk (originally chitmunk from Odawa), coyote (originally coyotl), iguana (originally iwana from Arawakans) were all brought to the English language as a result of cultural diffusion. The Native Americans also introduced crops to the Europeans such as cocoa beans, chocolate, cassava, papaya and tobacco.
When the europeans came over to the new world they were surrounded by a totally new and unique people with a different language and culture.The words that are from the natives that are still used today are numerous. They include the following, Moose, Husky and Tobacco. Along with a new language, the natives grew crops that were new to the Europeans such as corn, potatoes and pumpkins.The Europeans would bring the crops back to europe where they would flourish like the potato in Ireland.
Much of the American culture that we know and practice today derived from the original inhabitants of our country, the Native Americans. When the Europeans first arrived to the new world, they were influenced by the natives’ culture, customs and traditions. From this initial encounter and eventual adaptation of some of the natives’ ways, the English language has acquired a sum of words that originate formerly from the languages of these native people. Several of these words include caribou, chipmunk, raccoon, squash, succotash, hickory, barbeque, totem, canoe and hurricane. Additionally, many of the names of natural landmarks, towns, cities and states have names that commence from Native American languages. Examples of these names include Mississippi, Michigan, Wyoming, Chicago and Illinois. Europeans were able to not only adopt words from native languages, but they were also introduced to a variety of different foods that would prove to be very useful to the survival of the Europeans in the Americas. Some of these foods include corn or maize, tomatoes, potatoes, vanilla, chocolate, pineapples, chili peppers and pumpkins.
When European Explorers can to the Americas. They encountered the Native Americans the thought they were inferior. Yet they picked up words that we still use today. For example, wigwam, toboggan,totem,mangrove,hammock and canoe. They also brought over many new foods from the Americas. They brought crops back to Europe such as;tomatoes,corn,potatoes,vanilla, chocolate and peanuts.
Some of the words that the American English language adopted from the Native Americans include; canoe, lacrosse, husky, and maize to name a few. Along with words, the Native Americans also contributed some important crops to our society. These include; chocolate, corn, peanuts and potatoes. These, along with other crops are an important income to many parts of the US. The Native Americans contributed a lot more than usually credited for to American Society.
As we all know the Native Americans were the first people to step feet first on the New World, and traditional in their region. Husky are dogs that pulled the Native Americans from different regions. The exchange crops that the Native Americans brought to America were pumpkins, corn, and pineapples contribute many things to the world today. Most words that we use today that are from the Native American culture are Eskimo, Husky. Eskimo are people who are really Gigi Coleman
The Native Americans are the ones who passed down many words we use today. The Native American language and the European language combined into what we all hear today. For example, the word tobacco originated from the use of Native Americans. The college football team the "Utes," used to be the name of a Native American tribe. The Natives showed the Europeans where mines were located. The Natives traded pumpkins, tomatoes and squash with the Europeans.
There are countless amounts of Native American language words that have been embraced by American English due to culture diffusion. These words include: canoe, hammock, avocado, cashew, muskrat, raccoon, squash and various other words. During the "Colombian Exchange" the Natives also introduced a numerous amount of crops to the Europeans, such as squash, pineapples, tobacco, tomatoes, vanilla, chocolate, peanuts, corn, and others. ~Nassan Anderson
Some of the words that the English language has adopted from the Native Americans are canoe, hammock and caribou. We have also adopted some crops as well as words. These crops are chocolate, potatoes, squash and even pumpkins. Americans have depended on the Native Americans for m a lot more than people think.
Our English has derived from many languages around the world. One of these languages that contributed to our own would be the native american language. They introduced words such as skunk, moose, totem, woodchuck and even jerky. The Native American language culturally diffused with the English language to make it what it is today. In contrast with the Native American people contributing to our language they also contributed crops. They introduced crops that we still thrive off today today. Names of some crops would be tomatoes, potatoes, corn, squash and beans. - Jeff Antonio
Antonio Brito When arriving to the new world, the Europeans were surprised what they saw when encountering the Native Americans. When these two unique cultures clashed together, a special bond was created forming new words, a new culture, and a different perspective of life. Words including; caribou, chipmunk, eskimo, hickory, husky, mackinaw, moccasin, moose, mugwump, muskrat, pecan, raccoon, skunk, squash, toboggan, tomahawk, wigwam, and woodchuck all originated from the Native Americans. Yet the Native Americans were still able to introduce essential crops to the Europeans. For instance, almonds, tobacco, cocoa beans, chocolate, vanilla, corn, turkey, potatoes, and pumpkins were brought back
When the Native Americans began communicating with the Europeans, certain words were shared through cultural diffusion. Some examples of these words are canoe, husky, and lacrosse. Even certain animal animal names, such as skunk,moose, woodchuck, raccoon and muskrat, also derive from Native American roots. Along with words, the Native Americans also passed on important crops. Several prime examples are tobacco, peanuts, potatoes, pumpkins,and coco beans.
Multiple names of our states are Native American names. Dakota, Ohio, Minnesota, Oregon, Nebraska, Arizona, and Texas are a few examples of that. Many other things are from Native Americans, like moose, savannah, blizzard, toboggan, and parka. Another Native American word we Americans use often is Geronimo. Geronimo was a well-known leader of a resistance in the US and Mexico, but by some accident people now say Geronimo when jumping out of planes and such. Native Americans also introduced exotic crops to the Europeans. Honey, potatoes, corn, and tobacco all came from the Native Americans. These are just a few examples of how our culture was influenced by Native Americans. -Desirae Forrest
We use a lot of Native American words in our things we say today. The Native Americans brought it to our language because of cultural diffusion. Some specific words are like squirrel and igloo and even raccoon. We use these words today and they are the words the Native Americans gave to us. They also gave as other things like crops. Some of the crops they gave to us we like to eat today. They gave us chocolate and chocolate is in everything like brownies and they gave us almonds which are also in some brownies and salads. They gave us many crops and things like beans and corn. So, the Native Americans gave us chocolate, almonds, beans, and corn and many more.
The Native Americans had a great influence on the Europeans when they crossed over to the New World. The English language became enhanced with many of the words that the Native Americans spoke, making an impact on the Europeans. Words that the Native Americans provided the English language with include chipmunk, Eskimo, husky, moccasin, moose, skunk, squash, wigwam and countless more. While the Europeans introduced a widespread of diseases, the Native Americans introduced many great crops and animals through the Colombian Exchange. When the Europeans went back to the Old World, they brought back with them crops that include tomatoes, pumpkins, potatoes and corn.
The early Native Americans contributed various things to the European culture. An example of this would be words like igloo, tobacco, hammock and moccasin, just to name a few. Also, many of the towns, cities and states in America were given names of the Native American tribes. However, the contributions of the native American tribes are not just limited to a few words in the dictionary, they also paved the way for Europeans growing crops. The native Americans introduced such foods as corn, squash, pumpkin, and chocolate etc. The Native Americans had a great influence on modern day society.
The Native Americans gave the Europeans many of the words and items that we use today. Some of these words include, mocassin, husky, and canoe. The Native Americans may have spelled these differently, but the Europeans changed some if the spellings to make it their own. Also, the Native Americans invented hammocks and snowshoes and introduced us to new foods such as chocolate, corn, and pumpkin. All of these things we still use today which shows the great impact the Native Americans had on European culture.
The Native Americans made several major contributions to the Europeans, that still exist today. A lot of the words we use today come from Native American words. For instance, the word “cisco” comes from “siscowet,” which is a word from the Ojibue language. The word “Bayou” comes from the Choctaw word “Bayuk,” meaning a creek or secondary water cource, leading to a body of water. “Pecan” comes from the Illinois tribe, the original word being “Pakani.” Another contribution the Native Americans brought to the Europeans were the introduction of crops. Some of these included corn, beans, squash and potatoes. Before the Native Americanss’ contributions, tomatoes were already grown in Europe, but they were only used as ornamentals rather than food crops. Also, of course, tobacco became very popular in Europe, when the natives introduced it.
Many new things were presented to the Europeans when they arrived in the new world. They were introduced to crps like corn, tobacco and a lesser known introduction, pumpkin. Many words were brought to english from the natives. Words such as canoe, tomahawk, moccasin, and hammock. How hard do you think it would be to make a new word? apparently its very hard but many words that are common now came from the native americans hundreds of years ago. Some words are easy to tell and some arent.
History is something that stays with us forever. It is passed down from generations and one of the most common things passed down in history is language. The Europeans were introduced to Native American words such as maize, poncho, raccoon, and hammock. There were crops which have stayed with us also. Such tobacco, sugar cane and pumpkins.
There were many words created by the Native Americans. Such words include canoe, moccasin, tomahawk and hammock. These words are used in our everyday language, sometimes. Some crops that were introduced by Native Americans include corn, tomatoes, potatoes, chocolate, and tobacco. These crops are eaten in our everyday life, sometimes.
The Native Americans stated in the Americas many years ago. When the settlers came to the Americas there were many words that the colonist developed from the Natives such as tobacco husky and moccasin. Not only did the Native Americans give words for these things, but they also gave the cities and state the name that we call them today. For example Chicago wasn’t exactly called Chicago but when the colonist came back they told all the other people that the name of the city was Chicago. Along with give the settlers in the Americas word the Native Americans also gave them foods to bring back to Europe. Some foods that the Natives showed the colonist were chocolate, vanilla, peanuts, pineapples, squash, potatoes, and many more. -sofia murillo

When the Europeans came they were shown with goods they never even knew. Many of which are pumpkin, corn, tobacco, sugar, and even Avocados. If it weren't for the Native American then many of these things would be discovered later on in time, maybe up to when electricity was discovered

ReplyDeleteWhen the Europeans arrived in the Americas, they were greeted by the Native Americans. The Native Americans brought many new things to the European culture such as language and crops, that have been adopted into today's culture. To start off with, the Native Americans brought words to the English language, such as parka, toboggan, tobacco, and many other words that inspire the names of modern - day cities and towns, some local, such as Piscataway. Furthermore, as a result of two different cultures colliding, new crops were introduced. These crops consist of corn, squash, and tobacco.

It's all but impossible to travail cross the US and not run into a town, geographical formation, or region named after a Native tribe, leader or folklore. As well, the general spirit of resolve in the face of an ever changing world, yet they still remain prosperous and hold on to thier cultural routes. Not only do native ideas of preserving nature govern their own lives, but they are passed on to us.
The native Americans have many footprints they made on the American culture including many words that derive from the American language such as the word tomato which means tomatl in native American.

When the Europeans came to the New World they learned new things from the Native Americans. They learned new words that we still use today. Some words that the Europeans learned were kayak, moose, wigwam, squash, racoon, tomato, chocolate, and many more words. The Europeans were also introduced to new crops. They were introduced to squash, tobacco, pineapples, peanuts, cocoa, yucca, papaya, jicama, potato, and many more.
ReplyDeleteDue to cultural diffusion the English language has expanded immensely. Words such as Eskimo, chipmunk and raccoon have all been introduced from the Native Americans to the Europeans. Many of the words they taught the Europeans are still used to this day. The Native Americans also showed Europeans crops. The cocoa bean, peanuts and papaya are all known thanks to the Native Americans. Without the Native Americans many of the crops and words used today would have never been discovered.
ReplyDeleteMany of the words we use today came from the Native Americans after the diffusion of culture with the European. There are many place names and food names that originated from the Native American languages, such as Algonquian, Nahuatl, and Quechua. State names, such as Mississippi and Michigan came from the Algonquian language. Mississippi came from the Algonquian word, mihsisiipiiwi, meaning great river. Michigan came from the word meehcakamiwi, meaning great sea. Oklahoma came from the Choctaw Indian language, meaning red people. Many food names also came from the Native Americans. Pecan came from the Algonquian word, pakani. Chocolate came from the Nahuatl word, xocolātl. Jerky came from the Quechua word ch'arki. Igloo came from the Inuktitut word, iglu. Some crops that the Native Americans introduced to the Europeans include avocado, raspberry, blueberry, cashew, cocoa, pecan, pumpkin, wild rice, maize, potatoes, tomatoes, pineapples, corn, peanut and pepper.
ReplyDeleteNative Americans have influenced our voices on a huge scale. Some of us don't even realize the words we speak every day are based on what the Natives spoke hundreds of years ago. Words like hickory, pecan, chipmunk, caribou, avocado, tapioca, bayou, savannah, blizzard, and poncho, all derive from their tongue. Even some of our state names are based off of Native American words and tribes. The Dakotas, Nebraska, Texas, Minnesota, Oregon, Arizona, and Ohio are some examples. Not only words and names, but crops too have been blessed upon us because of the natives. Guavas, papayas, pineapples, potatoes, beans, cacao, and manioc are all great things we have because of the Native Americans and the Colombian Exchange.
ReplyDeleteAs the Europeans setteled into the new world, they were introduced to many new things. They had learned the natives way of life and saw how different they lived. The natives introduced them to the way they hunted, grew crops, and lived in their society.Although they were very different from the English, they eventually had picked up a few things. Words like moccassin,caribou, nebraska, canoe, igloo and many more have been added to today's vocabulary. Not only did the English pick up words, but they were introcuded to new crops. Crops such as squash, pineapples, tobacco, tomatoes and or course, pumpkins.
ReplyDeleteAfter discovering North America (new world), Europeans also discovered Native Americans (Indians). Native American culture gave a lot of input into our culture today. Some words from Native Americans we use are moccasins, hammock, hurricane, and canoe. We also have states names we got from Native American culture which are Nebraska and Arizona. We got many new crops from Native Americans which, was transported via the Colombian Exchange. Crops we got from Native Americans are tobacco, pumpkins, squash, peanuts, carrots, pineapples, corn, and cocoa.

Europeans learned and developed alot from Native Americans. They have heard and changed over one hundred Native American words to make it there own. Words such as moccasin, toboggan, canoe and moose are used alot in todays society. Native Americans introduced alot of crops to the Europeans also such as corn, tobacco, pumpkin, beans and squash. Most of the developments in the New World were originally Native American accoplishments.
ReplyDeleteUpon the Europeans' arrival to the New World, they were greeted with kindness and sincerety by the natives and were even introduced to their hunting and farming strategies. It is for these reasons that the English language as we know it today in some ways. Many of the words we speak are influenced by, or derived from, the language spoken by the Native Americans. Some examples of these words are moccasin, toboggan, canoe, and believe it or not, chocolate. Even some of the states here in the U.S are named after Native American tribes or influenced by words pre-existing in their language. Two examples are Ohio and Mississippi. The Native Americans, however, did not only contribute words and names , but also various different crops including potatoes, pineapples, pumpkins, and tomatoes.-Megan Bollenbach
ReplyDeleteNative Americans have contributed a plethora of ideas, new foods, and many other things. Native Americans have actually contributed many of the sports, games, and activities seen and played today, such as Lacrosse, tobogganing, relay races, and Tug-of-war. Words we use commonly in the american language that originated from the Native American language are Chipmunk, Muskrat, Pecan, Skunk, and Squash.
ReplyDeleteWhen the Europeans arrived in the Americas they brought many things such as diseases and crops. They also brought trade, but the Native American's language also contributed to the English life style as well as some words. Many of these words are states that we live in today, for example Nebraska, Minnesota and Organ. The English also adapted words for crops like, beans, papayas and one of my favorite fruits pineapples. The last way that the Native American's contributed to our culture is they created things like, blizzard, poncho and the savanna.
ReplyDeleteThere are many words that are brought into the English language that came from the Native Americans. There are words we still use today such as hurricane,canoe,husky,moose exc..... There were many crops that introduced to the Europeans in there arrival here. Some crops are Pineapple,cocoa,pumpkin,avacado,corn and other more.
ReplyDeleteWhen the Europeans came to the New World they learned about several new things that they didn't have back in Europe. They had new crops like corn, beans, potatoes and tobacco that they would bring back with them. They even learned new words, some of them like raccoon, moccasin, moose, tomahawk and many other words that we still use today.
ReplyDeleteWhen the Eurpoeans came over to the New World, they didn't speak any of the Native American language. Native Americans had a huge impact on the way America came to be. The Native American language, though different from the Europeans native language, was adopted into a part of the language we speak today. Many of the common words we hear today are from the Native Americans, such as: moccasins, toboogan, tobacco, canoe, and even igloo. Even states in America are named from words given from the Natives for example, North and South Dakota. Another very important thing Europeans got from the Native Americans was the foregin foods they grew. The Eurpoeans traded with the Native Americans and through that many crops were introduced to both. From the Native Americans the Europeans got pumpkins, corn, tobacco, chocolate, pineapples, turkey, and potatoes.

After sailing across the Atlantic Ocean and arriving in the Americas, European explorers made quick work of taking advantage of the land's inhabitants, the hospitable Native Americans. Although the time spent in the Americas was mostly composed of colonization, trade, the looting of precious stones and minerals, and mass murder of Native American tribes, the Europeans managed to inherit afew words from their friends the "indians". Some states such as the state of Arkansas (named after Quapaw tribe) and the state of Massachusetts (named after Massasoit). The Europeans also borrowed words from the indigenous languages in the Americas relating to animals. The words chipmunk (originally chitmunk from Odawa), coyote (originally coyotl), iguana (originally iwana from Arawakans) were all brought to the English language as a result of cultural diffusion. The Native Americans also introduced crops to the Europeans such as cocoa beans, chocolate, cassava, papaya and tobacco.
ReplyDeleteWhen the europeans came over to the new world they were surrounded by a totally new and unique people with a different language and culture.The words that are from the natives that are still used today are numerous. They include the following, Moose, Husky and Tobacco. Along with a new language, the natives grew crops that were new to the Europeans such as corn, potatoes and pumpkins.The Europeans would bring the crops back to europe where they would flourish like the potato in Ireland.
ReplyDeleteMuch of the American culture that we know and practice today derived from the original inhabitants of our country, the Native Americans. When the Europeans first arrived to the new world, they were influenced by the natives’ culture, customs and traditions. From this initial encounter and eventual adaptation of some of the natives’ ways, the English language has acquired a sum of words that originate formerly from the languages of these native people. Several of these words include caribou, chipmunk, raccoon, squash, succotash, hickory, barbeque, totem, canoe and hurricane. Additionally, many of the names of natural landmarks, towns, cities and states have names that commence from Native American languages. Examples of these names include Mississippi, Michigan, Wyoming, Chicago and Illinois. Europeans were able to not only adopt words from native languages, but they were also introduced to a variety of different foods that would prove to be very useful to the survival of the Europeans in the Americas. Some of these foods include corn or maize, tomatoes, potatoes, vanilla, chocolate, pineapples, chili peppers and pumpkins.
ReplyDeleteWhen European Explorers can to the Americas. They encountered the Native Americans the thought they were inferior. Yet they picked up words that we still use today. For example, wigwam, toboggan,totem,mangrove,hammock and canoe. They also brought over many new foods from the Americas. They brought crops back to Europe such as;tomatoes,corn,potatoes,vanilla, chocolate and peanuts.
ReplyDeleteSome of the words that the American English language adopted from the Native Americans include; canoe, lacrosse, husky, and maize to name a few. Along with words, the Native Americans also contributed some important crops to our society. These include; chocolate, corn, peanuts and potatoes. These, along with other crops are an important income to many parts of the US. The Native Americans contributed a lot more than usually credited for to American Society.

The Native Americans are the ones who passed down many words we use today. The Native American language and the European language combined into what we all hear today. For example, the word tobacco originated from the use of Native Americans. The college football team the "Utes," used to be the name of a Native American tribe. The Natives showed the Europeans where mines were located. The Natives traded pumpkins, tomatoes and squash with the Europeans.
ReplyDeleteThere are countless amounts of Native American language words that have been embraced by American English due to culture diffusion. These words include: canoe, hammock, avocado, cashew, muskrat, raccoon, squash and various other words. During the "Colombian Exchange" the Natives also introduced a numerous amount of crops to the Europeans, such as squash, pineapples, tobacco, tomatoes, vanilla, chocolate, peanuts, corn, and others.

Some of the words that the English language has adopted from the Native Americans are canoe, hammock and caribou. We have also adopted some crops as well as words. These crops are chocolate, potatoes, squash and even pumpkins. Americans have depended on the Native Americans for m a lot more than people think.
ReplyDeleteOur English has derived from many languages around the world. One of these languages that contributed to our own would be the native american language. They introduced words such as skunk, moose, totem, woodchuck and even jerky. The Native American language culturally diffused with the English language to make it what it is today. In contrast with the Native American people contributing to our language they also contributed crops. They introduced crops that we still thrive off today today. Names of some crops would be tomatoes, potatoes, corn, squash and beans.

ReplyDeleteWhen arriving to the new world, the Europeans were surprised what they saw when encountering the Native Americans. When these two unique cultures clashed together, a special bond was created forming new words, a new culture, and a different perspective of life. Words including; caribou, chipmunk, eskimo, hickory, husky, mackinaw, moccasin, moose, mugwump, muskrat, pecan, raccoon, skunk, squash, toboggan, tomahawk, wigwam, and woodchuck all originated from the Native Americans. Yet the Native Americans were still able to introduce essential crops to the Europeans. For instance, almonds, tobacco, cocoa beans, chocolate, vanilla, corn, turkey, potatoes, and pumpkins were brought back
When the Native Americans began communicating with the Europeans, certain words were shared through cultural diffusion. Some examples of these words are canoe, husky, and lacrosse. Even certain animal animal names, such as skunk,moose, woodchuck, raccoon and muskrat, also derive from Native American roots. Along with words, the Native Americans also passed on important crops. Several prime examples are tobacco, peanuts, potatoes, pumpkins,and coco beans.
ReplyDeleteMultiple names of our states are Native American names. Dakota, Ohio, Minnesota, Oregon, Nebraska, Arizona, and Texas are a few examples of that. Many other things are from Native Americans, like moose, savannah, blizzard, toboggan, and parka. Another Native American word we Americans use often is Geronimo. Geronimo was a well-known leader of a resistance in the US and Mexico, but by some accident people now say Geronimo when jumping out of planes and such. Native Americans also introduced exotic crops to the Europeans. Honey, potatoes, corn, and tobacco all came from the Native Americans. These are just a few examples of how our culture was influenced by Native Americans.

ReplyDeleteWe use a lot of Native American words in our things we say today. The Native Americans brought it to our language because of cultural diffusion. Some specific words are like squirrel and igloo and even raccoon. We use these words today and they are the words the Native Americans gave to us. They also gave as other things like crops. Some of the crops they gave to us we like to eat today. They gave us chocolate and chocolate is in everything like brownies and they gave us almonds which are also in some brownies and salads. They gave us many crops and things like beans and corn. So, the Native Americans gave us chocolate, almonds, beans, and corn and many more.

ReplyDeleteThe early Native Americans contributed various things to the European culture. An example of this would be words like igloo, tobacco, hammock and moccasin, just to name a few. Also, many of the towns, cities and states in America were given names of the Native American tribes. However, the contributions of the native American tribes are not just limited to a few words in the dictionary, they also paved the way for Europeans growing crops. The native Americans introduced such foods as corn, squash, pumpkin, and chocolate etc. The Native Americans had a great influence on modern day society.
The Native Americans gave the Europeans many of the words and items that we use today. Some of these words include, mocassin, husky, and canoe. The Native Americans may have spelled these differently, but the Europeans changed some if the spellings to make it their own. Also, the Native Americans invented hammocks and snowshoes and introduced us to new foods such as chocolate, corn, and pumpkin. All of these things we still use today which shows the great impact the Native Americans had on European culture.
ReplyDeleteThe Native Americans made several major contributions to the Europeans, that still exist today. A lot of the words we use today come from Native American words. For instance, the word “cisco” comes from “siscowet,” which is a word from the Ojibue language. The word “Bayou” comes from the Choctaw word “Bayuk,” meaning a creek or secondary water cource, leading to a body of water. “Pecan” comes from the Illinois tribe, the original word being “Pakani.” Another contribution the Native Americans brought to the Europeans were the introduction of crops. Some of these included corn, beans, squash and potatoes. Before the Native Americanss’ contributions, tomatoes were already grown in Europe, but they were only used as ornamentals rather than food crops. Also, of course, tobacco became very popular in Europe, when the natives introduced it.
ReplyDeleteMany new things were presented to the Europeans when they arrived in the new world. They were introduced to crps like corn, tobacco and a lesser known introduction, pumpkin. Many words were brought to english from the natives. Words such as canoe, tomahawk, moccasin, and hammock. How hard do you think it would be to make a new word? apparently its very hard but many words that are common now came from the native americans hundreds of years ago. Some words are easy to tell and some arent.
ReplyDeleteHistory is something that stays with us forever. It is passed down from generations and one of the most common things passed down in history is language. The Europeans were introduced to Native American words such as maize, poncho, raccoon, and hammock. There were crops which have stayed with us also. Such tobacco, sugar cane and pumpkins.
ReplyDeleteThere were many words created by the Native Americans. Such words include canoe, moccasin, tomahawk and hammock. These words are used in our everyday language, sometimes. Some crops that were introduced by Native Americans include corn, tomatoes, potatoes, chocolate, and tobacco. These crops are eaten in our everyday life, sometimes.
ReplyDeleteThe Native Americans stated in the Americas many years ago. When the settlers came to the Americas there were many words that the colonist developed from the Natives such as tobacco husky and moccasin. Not only did the Native Americans give words for these things, but they also gave the cities and state the name that we call them today. For example Chicago wasn’t exactly called Chicago but when the colonist came back they told all the other people that the name of the city was Chicago. Along with give the settlers in the Americas word the Native Americans also gave them foods to bring back to Europe. Some foods that the Natives showed the colonist were chocolate, vanilla, peanuts, pineapples, squash, potatoes, and many more.

As the foreigners settled down the new world and developed their language the natives gave them supplies and crops to harvest. Some crops that were given to them are corn, squash, beans, and many more. The English should be grateful to the natives for these great gifts.

Igloo was iglu and jerky is not part of this tribe but it neans ch'arki in their tribe. Other than words being passed down crops were also passed down.
