- In other words, Shinnecock worldviews were greatly influenced by the land being taken and how that led to disadvantages later on in life for its people. Therefore if you take the land you take everything with it for example our beaches and powwow grounds.
- Three aspects of culture that impact Shinnecock worldviews are Land, Food and the Powwow. This creates worldviews that are community oriented .
- “Shinnecock people have endured land grabs, population loss, property ,nation and other threats to their existence from colonialism and later from lack of employment opportunities.” (Hirsch).
- This quote shows that the food provided for our people on the land led us to thrive and become more advanced and create opportunities. This aspect impacts our worldview because it gives us the power to grow as a community .
- “ The sea and fish have served an important role in sustaining Indian life on Long Island, providing sustenance, occupational opportunities from whaling to wampum manufacturing, and a base for cultural identity.” (Dennis “Food - On This Site”).
- “It’s very spiritually uplifting, and when things in the world become strenuous and make you off center, it’s always good to be able to go to a powwow to bring you back to who you are,” (Brinton and Gandhi).
- This aspect of cultural identity shapes Shinnecocks worldviews because it shows the people were proud and gives off our strong community trait because like he mentioned it brings you back to who you are and when the world is against our community it is always there for you.
