Native Americans were the first people to settle on North American soil. They have evolved from the Paleolithic to the Woodland era. Not until the white man came did they lose their land and their traditions. But most of all they lost their freedom.
There were four main tribes: the Cherokee, the Algonquin, Tuscarora, and Katawa. The very first tribe was the Algonquin.
The Algonquin were located along the Atlantic coast. They all spoke the algonquin language. The groups included are the Chowanoc, the Pasquotank, and the Waccamaw. The tribes depended mostly on fish, fruits, and vegetables.
Next is the Tuscarora. They lived on the coastal plain and along the Neuse River and Tar Rivers. The Tuscarora used hemp to make rope and binding cord. The name means heap gathers. They were connected to the Iroqouis nation of New York. The correct form of posture by lacing infants to a board, resulting in well-shaped limbs.
The Catawaba was the largest group in the Piedmont. They were known for their burnt black pottery. Groups moved across the Piedmont including the Sapona and the Occaneechi.Tribes in the Piedmont spoke different dialects of the Sioux language. The Catawaba were connected to the Sioux tribes of the Great Plains
Last the Cherokee. They were related to the Iroqouis, but had been driven away from their homes. During the Woodland Period, they settled in the mountains. They controlled 40,000 square miles when the Europeans arrived. During the Woodland Period, they number 30,000, and had three main divisions - upper, middle, and lower. They made branches from strips of branches from oak trees.
Each Native American was different in their own way. And they shall be remebered forever.
