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.
