The first Americans
When Europeans started to settle on the east coast of America at the beginning of the 17th century, there were already over a million native Americans living on the continent in over 600 tribes.
The tribes had very different ways of life depending on where they lived. For example, in Mexico, the peaceful Pueblo tribes lived in villages and were America's first farmers1. Their neighbours2, the Apaches, were nomadic hunters3 and warriors4, and moved across the deserts and mountains of the region which is now called Texas. The Iroquois were a group of tribes - a "nation" - that lived in the forests of north-east America. They lived in permanent villages and were skilful5 hunters and fishermen6, using canoes to carry them along the rivers and lakes. Another famous nation - the Sioux -lived on the vast plains of grass7 between the Mississippi River and the Rocky mountains. They depended on buffalo for food, shelter8 and clothes and followed them across the plains, taking their tents, or "tepees" with them. Like the Apaches, they too were warriors and often used to fight and steal from other tribes.
The whites take possession
ln 1838, .American soldiers forced thousands of Cherokees to leave their homes in Georgia and march hundreds miles to the west. The journey "the trail of tears9" - took nearly five months and over 400 Cherokees died.
The battle for survival
Treaties were signed which promised land to the Indians but be government did not respect the treaties and war broke out. The Indian wars, between the US army and the Great Plains tribes lasted from 1860 to 1880 but soon the Sioux were too weak to fight. Without buffalo, they had nothing to eat. ln 1890 a group of about 200 Indians, men, women and children, were massacred by soldiers at Wounded Knee. It was the end of Indian resistance.
