Native American Indian Art for Thanksgiving and Fall Season Decor

The Native American Indians were a tribe that played a lead role in the support of the first newcomers who arrived in seventeenth century. For the first colonists who were a peaceful lot of people who arrived in the fall of 1621, the new home was to be a future that looked promising and happy. The pilgrims having settled in their new location for the first time celebrated their very first harvest in a country that was mostly untouched by the invaders, inhabited and habituated by the native Indian traditions.

The inhabitants of Wampanoag were from a native Indian tribe that had their own sophisticated set of code and rules from a society with a closed system of beliefs. The ancestors of Indians who had occupied acres of fertile territory for thousands of years lived peacefully with their traditions and Gods that were related to the supreme power of Mother Nature. They worshipped sun, wind and rains; they all existed in their list of Gods who were responsible for the good crops and their existence.

The aborigines of America were the native communities who had their own government, rules and practices. These beliefs and systems formed their own knowledge base and they maintained their traditions religiously. An important part of their belief was to thank and express gratitude for the good fortune.

Thanks giving was a part of their life and many native Indian philosophical beliefs maintained this tradition in a series of ceremonies that were carried out throughout the year, perhaps during the harvest season. They had a beautiful concept of being thankful to all in the nature whether it was the deities or the living beings to keep harmony and balance.

The Indians believed everything in the universe and the earth had a soul and purpose. The spirit in each of these things living or not was sacred and pure. The core of this belief and the ideology of the indigenous tribes of America tied them together to the other beings and an ethical, sustainable life in peaceful existence. There are more than 500 identified native tribes in United States of America extended to Alaska and Canada.

Land, earth, water and the sky was considered sacred and the native Indians worshipped them. In fact, the life on the planet and the eco-system is all interconnected, this appears so logical and appropriate in today’s modern times. The concept of being thankful and showing gratitude is still present in the many tribes and native communities. Thanking Mother Nature for a bountiful harvest, crops and rain is a continued tradition that many native Indians practice today.
