Psychology: Unique Historical Experiences of Native Americans and Alaska Natives

The history of Native Americans is interesting since they were used to the barter trade system and had strong cultural traditions. They had a solid religious inclination, and their language had a different dialect from modern Europe\\\\\\\'s. The communication after their relocation was mostly political, intended for business, and sometimes spiritual. The smallpox diseases and relations between the local and newly established European colonies were full of friction and had to be dealt with carefully. However, the contributions Native Americans have made with their incoming are still evident in modern times. For instance, language, art, cuisine, and even the governing style have created a long-lasting imprint on English culture. Initially, the European and English customs were alien to Native Americans; with time, development kept on taking place with the evolution of language and mannerisms were amalgamated. It should be noted that the names of cities like Iowa, Illinois, Alabama, etc., are named after Native American tribes as they went to certain places and named them as they liked (Pradananusantara, 2011). Similarly, modern pottery, craft made of wool, and jewelry made of turquoise stone is still envied in modern America.
