Native American History

Native Americans first came to the New World from Asia and rapidly migrated from Alaska all the way down to the tip of South America. They developed very sophisticated cultures and adapted very well to the varied climates of both continents. When they first greeted the European explorers and colonist they were confused and by individuals that seemed like "gods" to them. The Europeans took advantage of the Native Americans and gradually forced them from their tribal lands. After the American Revolution the American settlers and soldiers forced them farther and farther west until they occupied their territory. The Native Americans resisted the expansion but the natives soon found the American technology and numbers were overwhelming. Today the remaining tribes are trying to maintain their culture and restore their dignity.
