Long before there were cities and cars, Native Americans were the first people to live in North America. They lived in many different places, like near big rivers or in deep green forests. Every tribe had its own special name and its own way of living.
Native Americans were very good at using what they found in nature. They built homes out of wood, stones, or even buffalo skins! They grew tasty vegetables like corn and beans to eat. They loved the land and all the animals that lived there.
Today, Native American families still share their beautiful stories, songs, and dances. They help us learn all about the very first people who lived here. Their traditions and culture are an important part of American history.
