jan 1, 1491 - Native Americans (Theme 1.1)

Description:

Before the European colonization of the New World, there were already about 50-75 million people forming and living in complex societies throughout the Americas. Historians believe that these people came from land bridges connected to Asia between 13,000-3,000 BC or by water at around 6000 BC. No two societies were the same. To categorize the lifestyles of different Native Americans, historians often divided pre-Columbian North America into five regions: the Northwest, Southwest, California-Intermountain, Plains, and Eastern Woodlands tribes.
