Early Arkansas Natives and Migrations
Arkansas and the southwest, January 31, 2003The Mound - builders of the Mississippian CultureThe first human inhabitants of Arkansas and North America were the paleo Indians, right after the last ice age disappeared. Survived by hunting the mastodon, saber toothed tigers. Where they came from? The few skeletal remains suggest that they were Caucasoid, were more related to the white races. Some same that they can be related to the Ainu people of Japan. The paleo Indians could have been related to the Ainu people. A great controversy still exists on where the paleo Indians originated. The weapons and tool technology changed between 9 thousand and 8 thousand years ago. Some native Americans today may have paleo Indian genes in their markup today. Their existence ceased to be evident about 8000 yrs ago. The next group of human inhabitants were the Archaic Indians. 8000bc to 1000bc. Definitely Mongolian tribes or bloodlines. On the other hand, they shared cultural traits as the paleo Indians. They were hunter gatherer people. They lived all over Arkansas, we can infer what we know about them come form artifacts that come from bluffs in norther
The most striking example was the Mounds that they started to build. Also continuing to hunt, and fish to go along with the farming. Culture started to change for the Indians of Arkansas, at the end of the archaic times, there was a small time that was known as a transition period called the woodland period. Dd These were huge earthen mounds 20ft. Indians started cultivating corn in Arkansas. Many investigations were made, and we have many archaic Indian articles from their culture. , and a number of mounds could be found. Probably women did most of the early farming duties most likely. In the united states women have only been allowed to vote for only 83 yrs in the united states. These teachings in the bible, were like the lifestyles that the archaic Indians lived, everyone shared, everyone survived. They had lived in circular huts in a slip-shod construction, now they were living in a permanent spot, they started to be more concerned about their place of residence. Was probably a most significant change of existence of the human race.
