3 The First Americans Many people claim that Christopher Columbus discovered America. The Native American were around long before any of the explorers landed on the North American continent. American varied considerably from region to region, as did their reactions to European settlements. Indian families lived in tribes. Each family was dependent on the other for survival. They lived by the customs and practices of their ancestors and used the land only as they needed it, believing it was sacred. Around the 1500's, European explorers began to explore inland of the new found continent. They often were peaceful toward the, but many times they were fearful and killed them. The new white man brought many new things to the, such as cooper, iron, metal for weapons, and new foods and plants. They also brought new diseases and war. In 1776, the United States became a country. The Europeans no longer felt like a visitor to this land. They wanted to own all of it. There were more and more people coming over and more land was needed for their expansion. The military began taking what it wanted and began forcing the Indian tribes into extinction. Out of fear of the, the Europeans tried to force the to be like them, to be Christians, and to speak English. Most were forced from their homeland onto reservations. Often they were forced to walk hundreds of miles and were given very little food or clothing for the journey. Many died while on the way to their new homes. The United States government began dividing the country during its expansion. on reservations were given small plots of land. The rest of their land was taken over by settlers. This is why few tribes are left today.

They were first spotted by the French in They occupied the vast domain extending from the Arkansas River and westward to the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains. The Sioux rode horses for hunting and for their traveling. They paddled down rivers on boats made from tree trunks. The Sioux were also known as the Plains People. They got this name because they roamed the vast plains hunting buffalo. After the kill, the huge buffalo was put upon a travois. A travois was made out of buffalo skin spread over two long poles. The buffalo would then be taken to the tribe for its use. The Sioux did not believe in wasting any part of the buffalo. They used every part of it for something. Fur was used for blankets, bones for weapons, and even the skin was used to make beef jerky. They also gathered fruits and vegetables and even grew their own crops of maize, squash, and beans. They often traded between the various tribes. In 1875, gold was discovered in the Black Hills of Dakota. The United States wanted to purchase the land and relocate the to a new Indian Territory. The refused to move. They sent Chief Sitting Bull to visit with President Grant. When Chief Sitting Bull refused to sign a treaty, the prepared for war. In the spring of 1876, the military launched a fight against them. In the battle, General Custer and all of his men were killed. This battle became known as The Battle of Little Big Horn, or "Custer's Last Stand. This battle showed the strength and fighting power of the Indian Nation.
