People migrate/immigrate when they are scared or need other resources. Some natives ran to the south to get away from the Europeans . Others moved casually in need of other food or resources. Immigration/migration was part of the daily lifestyle for the nomadic tribes. Children of nomadic tribes never complained about having to walk the distance.

The natives were making Cornbread and using ground corn from way before the Europeans came. Cornbread was taken from the natives of the north to the south by fleeing native tribes. It was chosen to be made in the south, because of their wide supply of corn and other materials needed to make cornbread.Cornbread is a delicious and easy thing to make. The natives could make it on the run, so you should make it at home! CornbreadInsert Artifact Picture HereBack to Food

During the hunt the they would secure the chest of the skeleton on their backs, a gesture showing their respect for their dead catch of whales. WhalesInsert Artifact Picture HereBack to Food
