Journal One The Natives of America and their culture

Well, I do not know all to much about the natives of America. I know they lived in teepees. They also live in reservations and make a lot of money through their casinos. I know a native American who is very rich because of their casinos. In the Twilight Series, the native Americans are seen as transformers between human and wolves. They can turn into wolves when they want to fight the Vampires.

In southern America, well southern from Illinois, tribes would create giant temples nd pyramids to worship their gods. The Mayans also had a percieved trip to hell after they died. They would go through seven levels of torture and then they would reach hell. After this they would be risen to heaven. There were seven levels, I believe, or what I can remember. It was also a very realistic journey. Their soul would arise from their body and they would have to make the trip through a famous cave located near the capitol of their civilization. They would then enter the cave and bein the journey. They would go throuhg seven levels of the cave, like the room of daggers. The room of darkness. The room of flames. The room of sacrifice. I can not remember any of the other rooms, but I am pretty sure there were seven levels of finding hell.

According to the wise Alexander, "The Native Americans were very good at farming, but it seems they were very bad at staying alive." This is an interesting statement and it is 100 percent true. Tere were three brilliant, no not brilliant, amazing societies that just seemed to disappear over night.

They also seemed to have a knack for creating calenders. Their calenders have already ended like seven times. So in a sense they fail at making calenders, but were geniuses at the same time. If only they would have created a strong calender system that lasted forever and cause everyone the confusion of the world ending in 2012.
