1. Methoataske 2. I did Native Americans and I focused on the Shawnee tribe. 3.  Language: Most Shawnees speak in English today but going back in time they spoke their language Shawnee that is mostly dying out today. The Shawnee language is a concept of the Algonquian language and has a similar relate to the Sauk-Fox and the Kickapoo languages. This can help make them a good Goodwill Ambassador because people have to communicate to talk to people and explain your ideas to people.  Beliefs: Most Shawnees believed in their god she lives in the sky and is old that has a son and a dog. Every day they believed was part of their religion. Most Shawnee kept their ceremonies exclusive. They also don’t go by months they go by the full moons every month. This will help to be the Goodwill Ambassador because they have different ways of looking at things then some people and come up with new and different ideas. Values: Most followed by what the website of the Shawnee said, “The Golden Rule of the Shawnees was: Do not kill or injure your neighbor, for it is not him that you injure, you injure yourself. But do good to him, therefore add to his days of happiness as you add to your own. Do not wrong or hate your neighbor, for it is not him that you wrong, you wrong yourself. But love him, for Moneto loves him also as he loves you." Men also value hunting. Young boys value the elders since they always told them to become stronger. Women had to do all the hard work with cooking, planted, made clothing, and clay pots. Young girls would learn from their mother and try to make clay pots too. This can help to be a Goodwill Ambassador because they have a lot of skills that can help them do different things.  Behaviors: Shawnees are hardworking people. Men always did the hunting and they were the fighters. Women did the housework and make clay pots too. Young boys played and young girls would help their mothers. This is good for the Goodwill Ambassador because hard work in a person is a good thing so you know that they won’t give up on their job.  4. The Shawnee are autonomous that means they have their own set of rules, government but they are United States citizens and have carry out American laws too. This isn’t the best thing because they could have different laws that might be completely different that they don’t agree on with the United States. It is not fair to bend the law for a group of people and can’t be bent for other people. They would be more violence in our world and people dying because they couldn’t compromise over something. 6.
