Blog post 3
For my I decided to research the man responsibile for thanksgiving. No it's not dean jones but it is a friandly Indian named Squanto. Squanto was very welcoming to the new settlers and brought them food as a peace offering. The pilgrims were very happy for this event and continued the tradition for years to come. That is thought to be the reason why we celebrate thanks giving to this day. Without Squanto playing his part in the pilgrims lives the pilgrims may not have been as sucessful and we may not have had thanksgiving today. That is part of Squantos role being played out with the pilgrims.

Blog post 2
For my second blog post I decided I would post on the new settlers relationshib with the native Americans already settled near James town. The explorers for James town came to the new land with no idea of the threat the natives would impose on there exploration. They came and the natives wiped out many of there team. This put the new settlers into shock and caused them to completely change there way of life in order to hide there weakness's from the native Americans. The settlers lived in fear for much of the time they were settling until they befriended the natives and learned from each others culture. This led to a fairly good relationship with the native Americans that surrounded Jamestown.

Native American adventure
To go along with the native American blog assignment I took it upon my self to do more then learn about this culture but to also experience it. To do this I invited all of the native American enthusiats to my great plains adobe for a sacrificial fire burning and a great spirit guide experience. I was very delighted on how the whole experience went and I beleive it led to a greater understanding of the native Americans culture for me and the other enthusiast. That is all for now I look forward to other such experiences and further blog posts and follow ups.
