Where Did They Come From and Where Are They Headed?
The most important thing to know about a group of people is where they come from and where they are going. The rest are just details.
North American Indians were the first to arrive in North America. They are hunters who live in small groups, following the animals they hunt. The Indian tribes that inhabit the United States today are called Indians by other Native Americans because they have no horses or guns.
Indians were not always confined to North America; they spread across the country to Canada and Mexico, but they never went further than that. In fact, there was never a major migration of people from Asia to North America until Europeans arrived there in large numbers in 1492 AD (1492 AD).
The Indians had no written language or writing system until Christopher Columbus landed on their shores in 1492 AD. They also had no money, so Christopher Columbus gave them cloth to make beads and buttons as payment for their land and a treasure trove of gold and silver jewelry he had brought back from his journey. around the world (1492 AD).
