The Indians taught the settlers new ways to hunt and fish when they came to North Carolina
many years ago. The Indians caught their fish in nets called weirs that were made from reeds
woven or tied together. Another way the Indians caught fish is with spears. The Indians
hunted big animals mostly with bows and arrows. They hunted deer and bear.
The Indians cooked the fish and meat over a grill of reeds or sticks. But most of the cooking
was done in clay
pots. They would put the pot on a fire and boil different foods. In this way they would cook
vegetables, fruits, nuts, roots and meat.
Native Americans planted gardens much like gardens are planted today. They grew beans,
peas, melons, pumpkins, sunflowers, potatoes and other foods. The men took turns guarding
the fields and scaring away the birds and wild animals. They were probably some of the first
scarecrows!

Indians Today
Did you know that there are many Indians still living in North Carolina today? In fact North
Carolina has the largest Indian population east of the Mississippi River. There are more than
65.000 Native Americans living in North Carolina. The state of North Carolina recognizes 6
tribes. They are: Cherokee, Coharie, Haliwa-Saponi, Lumbee, and others.
Indian children today look and live very much like other children. They live in houses and go
to school. They wear jeans, shorts, shirts and shoes like those you wear. Native Americans
drive cars, go to church and enjoy sports and entertainment like everyone else. Like other
people, they are very proud of their heritage and ancestors. To help remind them of their past,
the Indians have special holidays and celebrations.
The Indian way of life was to live in harmony with nature. Many of today's organisations are
influenced by the arts, crafts and culture of Native Americans.
