THE NATIVE AMERICANS
When Columbus arrived in the Caribbean in 1492, he thought he had
landed in the East Indies in Asia, so he called the people there “Indians”. In
fact, they were native Americans, who had arrived in America over 40,000
years before them. At that time, Native Americans lived all over North
America. Many of them lived in small groups of about 20-50 people. Most of
them were very peaceful people, who lived by hunting and collecting food.
Other Native Americans lived in small villages where they had farms. The
Native Americans were the first people to cultivate many of the plants that
we now eat: potatoes, beans, maize, tomatoes, cacao and many others. There
were thousands of different languages and tribes, each with its own culture.
When the Europeans arrived, they tried to take land away from the Native
Americans and there were many wars. Millions of the Native Americans also
died from the diseases that the Europeans brought to them. As the Europeans
took control over the eastern part of North America, the Native Americans
had to move to the west in order to survive. After the United States had
become independent, White Americans moved further west into the land
where Native Americans lived and there were many battles – as we can see in
the cowboy’s and Indian films. Then, starting in 1983, The US Government
forced the Native Americans to move even further west into “reservations”.
The Native Americans fought against it and for many years there were wars
against the white Americans, ending with the massacre of Sioux men,
women and children at Wounded Knee in 1890.
