"People may have been living in North America 30,000 years ago! Archaeologists are constantly looking for information about how these early people arrived and how they survived. What is known is that the arrival of Europeans forever changed the lives of the Indigenous tribes living in America, often with tragic results. Still, many cultures endured with their languages, customs, and spiritual beliefs intact. This essential book, replete with fascinating historical images, fact boxes, and sidebars, spotlights the information about Native peoples that students of U.S. history need to know." -- Provided by publisher.
