Tripe Soup
William Bartram was a naturalist and a scholar

colonies, relatively untouched by the revolutionary fervor brewing north
of him. While gathering descriptions and drawings of native plants in
the area, he encountered the Seminole Indians--and was invited by Seminole
leader Cowkeeper to be guest of honor of the tribe.

Games
of the Arctic
The Inuit have always enjoyed a variety of games
and sports. Skills developed by these games were often those necessary
for everyday survival in the harsh environment. Thus, the games concern
physical strength, agility, and endurance. Many Inuit games are traditional
and require no equipment. Some traditional games may have been learned
in Asia before the Inuit migrated across the Bering Strait (c. 2000
B.C.), while others were undoubtedly learned after migration, through
contact with southern Aboriginal peoples who had migrated at an earlier
time from Asia into the Western hemisphere.
