A different culture that fascinates me is the Native American tribes like the Cherokee and Apache. They have gone through so much at the hands of the United States, and they still aren’t extremely hateful towards every American. Many other cultural groups would have continued to hate the country that treated them so wrongly, but they don’t seem too upset to be a part of it. They also are interesting in the way that they are so mysterious. As time progresses, we find more and more evidence that could suggest that Native Americans came in contact with different places all over the world before Columbus. One tribe of the Cherokee believes to be descended from ancient Jewish people that sailed across the ocean to America. There is so much strange diversity in their culture and religion that makes them interesting to learn about. Another thing to think about is why they remained hunter gatherers when Europe moved so far ahead technologically. Everyone had the same amount of time and according to some people, similar technologies sprang up in Europe, Asia, and Africa around the same time periods without being in contact with each other, so why didn’t the Native Americans develop any of these things. I think their traditions and spiritual ceremonies are the best part about them, and that’s what really makes them stand out as a culture.
