Life on a reserve
After being kicked of their land many Indian's found life to be difficult because the left their homes and their food sources they left everything behind because they got kicked of by the Europeans.
Farming
After farmers got kicked of their land and leaving all their crops behind farmers found farming to very hard because of the land the soil wasn't good there were no animals to hunt so farmers were devastated and they had no hope because of their land.
Americanizing the Indians
Before the Indians got kicked of their land the Europeans kidnapped children and put them in residential schools they changed their whole look and identity they cut their hair short and put them in uniforms.If the student did not show up they would send a officer that would go to their house and search for the student.They even changed their names into European names.
Housing
Before they got kicked of their land they lived in longhouses that could hold 5 to 6 families but after when they were put on a reserve they had nothing to build their houses out of what ever they could find thats what they would build their house out of and if they did build their houses would be the size of this classroom.
Clothing
The clothing they wore was probably the clothes they wore on there land before they got kicked of they couldn't make new clothes because their were no animals but sometimes they got lucky and found caribou or deer and they killed them and made clothes.
Food
For food they mostly ate fish because there were a lot of lakes near by their were not to many caribou band deer but if they got lucky they killed them and ate them
Weapons and Warfare
The Indians had a lot of weapons before they got kicked of their land but they did have some guns like muskets and riflies but they did use the rocks and some wood around to make knives and spears to catch fish caribou and deer
