 The term Native Americans refers to those people who
lived in the Americas before the arrival of the
Europeans.

of the original inhabitants.
 In 1492 there was between 8-10 million Native
Americans in North America.

developed into 600 societies and 200 languages.
 It would be the Native Americans that kept the first

 The term “Indian” is attributed to Christopher
Columbus who mistakenly believed that he had
reached India. He named the native population “Los
Indios,” which later became Indian.

 Unfortunately, the more Europeans that moved to the
Americas the more conflict there was with the native
population.
 Eventually racism was developed and used as a reason to
wipe out the native populations.
 In the end, it was disease that caused the most damage to
the Native Americans, wiping out 90% of the native
population.
 Native populations did, however, begin to intermix with
European explorers and settlers who arrived in the New
World. This led to a new population group called the Métis.
 The Métis were children of native and non-native heritage.

group that is bound by a common culture and history.

United States federal government as a political entity.
 The term sachem refers to a tribal leader or chief.
Bands
 A band is a political subdivision of a Native American
tribe.
