MEET THE NATIVES
The History of Native Americans
is both magnificant and at the same time even tragic. It is estimated that about 20 – 90 million
Native Americans inhabited America at the time of the European arrivals. They had lived in the land many, many years before
white man set foot on their soil. They had gradually migrated across the land and became a civilized group. The
name “Indian” was given them by Christopher Columbus who mistakenly believed he had landed in the Indies.

The Native Americans suffered
dramatically throughout history in the United States and even today they are discriminated and remain a minority. Their
land was taken away and still half of them live on reservations that the white men put a side for them.
