NATIVE AMERICAN TRIBES
Before the Europeans settled in America, there were
many different Native American tribes that occupied the land.
The Apache
Indians were a very violent Native American tribe. They were nomadic and they
hunted wild animals like the buffalo. They rode horses. They had a lot of
enemies.
The Cherokee Indians had many villages in the mountains. They
were good farmers and hunters. They had big celebrations with fun and games.
The Cheyenne Indians lived in villages too and were
farmers. The women gathered wood for the fire, they cooked and harvested fruit and
nuts. The men were hunters and they
made bows, arrows and pipes. They liked music and dancing after dinner time.
The Navajo Indians lived in grasslands, canyons
and deserts. They became famous for their beautiful and colorful blankets and
rugs.
The Sioux Indians were a very powerful and
large tribe. They were forced to move many times by the U.S. government, so
they became very angry and attacked settlers. Near the end of the nineteenth
century in the battle of Little Big Horn, the Sioux defeated the US army: this
was one a very important victory in Native American history.
