High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Yankee ingenuity is an American English reference to the self-reliance of early colonial settlers of New England, United States. It describes an attitude of make-do with materials on hand. It is inventive improvisation, adaptation and overcoming of dire straits when faced with a dearth of materials. Yankee Ingenuity was often necessary for New England colonists. Unlike the rich and fertile soil of Virginia, New England had poor soil as well as a harsh winter and had to rely on improvisation and other means for economic success. Similar phrases relating to other former colonial outposts exist in other parts of the world, such as Kiw ingenuity, referring to a similar situation in New Zealand. An example of Yankee ingenuity would be using a device, such as a pole saw, to cut brush, in the absence of a more appropriate tool. Another example is how they had to use centrifical force, or rigged devices like Air filters on Apollo 13 after an explosion left their craft severely damaged.
