The landscape wasn't very different than it was back then.We have the same landscape their the only difference is they have a lot less stores and houses.They lived with the 4 seasons just like us because they lived in N.Y just like us.They built wooden houses and stone houses .They used strong vines to tie the sticks, stones and wood. Cayuga native americans houses were built with wood from all different types of trees.Also covered by grass that was no longer useful to the cayuga tribes. The houses were suitable to the cayuga environment,because it kept them warm in the winter and they took off some grass to let cool air in the summer. This picture below is a Longhouse, A place where The leaders of the tribes lived. The Cayuga indians used to live in longhouses Too! They were made of logs and cross poles.

The Cayga Tribe mostly had chores to do rather than playing any games,they did play games though if they were not doing and/or finished their chores.Like throwing a dart through a hoop,playing with their dogs,and playing lacrosse. However, was a popular sport for the Cayuga tribe. Also the girls would play with dolls made out of corn husk. A famous game exclusive to winter is Snow Snake.There is the short snake and the long snake that are shot down a track of snow. The track of snow usually turns into ice. He who can throw their snake the farthest is the winner!

One interesting thing I found was that the Cayuga tribe were the original residents of New York State. Also, their Name meant "people of the swamp". Also, they live with their allies, or live in the six iriqois nations' reservation, and don't have their own reservation.Men wore breechcloths,leggings,and a feathered hat called Gustoweh. They played outside, and with dolls, like Most kids today. Also, The Cayuga language is becoming endangered, but the tribe is working hard to teach their heirs the language.

In this essay I will be talking about the Cayuga Tribe. There are still some members of the Cayuga tribe. You don't see much of them today because there almost all gone. Hopefully the kids will have more kids and tribe will rebuild in a while. The tribe died from fighting in war or a sickness. The kids would have to work at five and the parents would fight in war. some kids stayed without parents and they had to take care of them self. It is sad how many of them still exist today. This is the exact number of people that still exist today: Read the number and you will be surprised One thousand, Five hundred seventy members.The tribe is faded away more and more each some people don't even really care for the people that fought for there state! These are the places that the Cayuga tribe are located: New york, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, and Ontario, Canada. The tribe mostly lives here because they grew up here with there great grandparent that probably fought for our state and they have lived here since. : )
