1st Post-What I Know About Native Americans

So, in all honesty, i really do not know much about Native American Culture. I know that Native Americans were here living in North America before anyone else. I also know that when Christopher Columbus came to North America, he thought that he was in India, so he gave them the label of "Indians." This term is actually not correct thought because of course, Native Americans are not Indians because they do not live in India. I also know that even though in the beginning when we first discovered that Native Americans live here in North America, there were many of Native Americans roaming around and about. When explorer came along though, they actually started killing of the native people in order to obtain land and other good resources that were valued in those times. Today in modern times, they are almost no Native Americans left here in America which is very sad. The European explorers could take out many natives at once because of the technology that they had at the time, all the Native Americans had were mainly arrows along with few other things to attack the explorers with. The explorers actually had guns and technology like that which destroyed the Native Americans. I know very little about the actual everyday life of Native Americans though. I know that they liked to live in teepees which were comparable to a very tall tent. Also, i know that they got a lot of their supplies from hunting other animals. For example, they not only got food from hunting, but they would use bones for certain supplies as well. Native Americans liked to use every part of an animal so that they could have plenty of supplies. With more supplies, they did not have to worry about getting more food and supplies, and therefore, they could focus more on their everyday lives. So, i guess that this information is most of the stuff i know about about Native Americans.
