History of Native American.








Americas have been occupied for nearly 40 thousand years by humans, and within these years, civilizations have been created terrific by people, which made them equal with other continents. In North America, Pueblo Indian hunted the mammoths and mastodons. They were substituted by ancient Indians who abandoned behind the noticeable cave art, to some extent one instance they hunted American buffalo. However, before the Europeans arrived in 1492, agrarian conversion was almost entirely due to the hunters and gatherers because they were directing communities to agricultural cultures. Also, cities in the east side of America flourished as a part of the hill constructing culture when Indian people expanded across North America. The southwest, the Anasazi and their contemporary culture and built a remarkable housing alike. Then in a historical blink of an eye, they all disappeared, and they were replaced by the formation of the tribes in the region at the beginning of the 17th century, many of which then disappeared as a result of European diseases. At the same time, the Europeans widened across the continent. In the 18th century occurred, two events on the North America that transformed the human more peaceful, created a new country which is the United States and created a new type of Indian culture which is the warrior horse culture. Indians were interested in two types of big mammals, the first was horses which came from Europe, and the other was the buffalo, which is one of the original inhabitants of the American continent. Native American tribes hunted the buffalo on foot for 10,000 years, but that changed when the Europeans and their horses arrived. In 1680 the Spanish ran away and left behind them, their sheep, cattle and horses, after the Pueblo Indians rose up against the Spanish overlords. The horse gave the vehicle, and the buffalo gave a practically unlimited supply of excellent protein giving the tribes willing to adventure onto the steppes. Unlike the other horse cultures, the Navajo and Apache were part of an extremely considerable sub-arctic group mostly indicated to as the Athabaskan, their ancestral home covered a large part of Canada’s Northwest territory. The Navajo and Apache moved into their eighteenth and nineteenth century native lands, before the arrival of the Europeans in the sixteenth century. According to anthropological records, these people lived in small nomadic family groups and hunted caribou. In between 900 and 1400 AD a group identified as the southern at an Athabaskan migrated south into present-day west Texas, New Mexico and Arizona when the Spanish arrived in 1540. Because of their proximity to the Spanish, the Navajo and the Apache were the first two teams’ horses. Actually, in 1659 the Navajo were the first Indians attack Europeans by using horses. In addition, the woman was the most important person in Navajo family, she owned the land, the home, and the livestock. Also, the Navajo life revolved about the family, as well as religious ceremonies, one of the most significant was a healing ceremony known as the night way.
