The American Indians

There were about one million people in North America when Christopher Columbus arrived there in 1492. Columbus thought he was in India. So he called the people with dark skin ‘Indians’. That’s why we call the native people of America ‘Indians’.

In Columbus’s time the Indians lived in big families – tribes. There were more than two thousand tribes in North America. Every tribe had a different language and traditions. Some Indians lived in small wooden houses; some Indians lived in wigwams – houses made from animal skins (шкуры). Some Indians were great hunters; some never hunted but ate only grass and fruit. All Indians could speak with each other in one language – sign language (язык жестов). They believed that the land and the waters belonged to everybody.

The people who came after Columbus from Europe did not understand Native Americans. Many of them thought the Indians were wild people. Europeans were afraid of the Indians because they didn’t understand their language and had different ways of living. The Indians looked different. For the next 400 years Europeans and the Indians fought with each other. Europeans wanted to get the land and the animals and the Indians didn’t want to lose them.
