In 1492 when Columbus discovered what he thought was a New World; he had found many new items. The items he came across in the search for new land were different kinds of metals, minerals, and agriculture, but this is what was expected, and what was one of the major things he was looking for. These major things soon turned to a minor detail once a new form of living human beings were found, and a new form of life was discovered. These new forms of human beings were soon named the Indians.
People (Indians) didn’t exist in America till about 35,000 to 25,000 years ago. It is said that between different glacial periods, people of Asiatic origins walked across what was then a land bridge between Siberia and Alaska. These people by 8,000 B.C. had spread through the whole western Hemisphere. These people brought with them, which we would think today as basic skills, but to them technological human skills. These skills consisted of fire making, flit napping (knife sharpening), and many ways to feed, shelter and clothe themselves. These people lived in close-knit clans, and were very socially interactive. They shared many beliefs about the natural and supernatural.
As these people of Asiatic origin immigrated to the

Below are additional random excerpts from the paper...
The Plateau land was mostly desert land. An oasis was a spot in the desert that contained water, plants, and wildlife. Because these Indians lived in a desert-like environment, food was hard to find. Winter was the hardest. Meat was hard to find in the winter. Kangaroo rats, field mice, ground squirrels, and gophers were in underground burrows for the winter. The Indians in this culture were well known for their baskets. Indians from the Southwest culture would come north to trade for the baskets. When it came to hunting the Indians would put small bundles with feathers in the water to trick the birds into thinking it was a safe place to land. Men would stand in the water and spear them. Women waited on land to gut the fish and dry them out. During the summer the Indians would harvest rice grass and cattails. Boys would climb the trees and shake the branches. Young girls would carry baskets of nuts to the camp where the older women heated the nuts to loosen the seeds. Like the California Indians, there were several ways to eat the seeds. In November was the rabbit hunt. These Indians would trap the rabbits by making nets up to 500 feet long. In l848 when gold was discovered in San Francisco the lives of these Indians changed forever. Horses and cattle trampled the seeds that lay on the ground. White man's diseases killed thousands of Indians. These Indians never tried to fight the white man. Some Indians were forced to live outside of white settlements and beg food for their families.
The Mound Builders were farmers. The Mississippian Mound Builders are believed to have died from diseases brought to this country by the white man.
The Plains Indians lived in the area of our country known as the Great Plains. This culture group of Indians is well known for the importance of the buffalo, their religious ceremonies, the use of the tepee, and their warpath customs. The buffalo was the most important natural resource of the Plains Indians. The Plains Indians were hunters. The Plains Indian Culture followed the buffalo migration-or movement of the buffalo. The tepee was made by leaning long poles together and covering them with buffalo hide. There were several ways to hunt the buffalo. One way was for Indians on horseback to ride into the herd on horseback and use bows and arrows to kill the buffalo. Another way was for a large group of Indians on horseback to chase the buffalo off a cliff. An unusual way some Indians hunted the buffalo was to sneak up on the buffalo with wolf skins covering their bodies, then killing them with bows and arrows. The Indians also made a sort of sausage by stuffing meat and herbs into the buffalo's gut. The skin of the buffalo was used for clothing and shelter. It was also decorated with beads, porcupine quills, and feathers to be worn as clothing by the Plains Indians. No part of the buffalo went to waste. Plains Indians only killed what was needed to survive, never more. It was only when the white man started moving west that the slaughter, unnecessary killing, of the buffalo occurred. Thousands of buffalo were killed for sport or to clear the land for the railroad. The Plains Indians believed in many gods. The way the Indian men received this power of the gods was from visions. Powwows were one of the Plains Indian ceremonies. An important Plains ceremony was called the Sun Dance. The Sun Dance took place in the summer months. The Sun Dance lasted around four days. Some men would pierce their chests with wooden skewers. The way for a Plains Indian warrior to earn respect was through battle. A war
