The most common is the Haudenosaunee and Algonquins. A smaller group of Algonquins is the Lenape. The Lenape id divided into 3 clans. The clan are the Munsee, Unami, and Unalachtigo. The Haudenosaunee was when 5 clans was in a confederation. they joined together and was known as the Haudenosaunee. The 5 clans that joined together was the Mohawks, Oneidas, Onondagas, Cayugas, and Senecas.the name Haudenosaunee means people of longhouse in the native Americans language. The Haudenosaunee tribe spoke Iroquoian. The Algonquins groups were larger then the Haudenosaunee. The Haudenosaunee lived in longhouses in village for protection from other Tribes. The Algonquins on the other hand lived in wigwams made of reeds. The Algonquins depended most on the hunting.On the other hand the Haudenosaunee depended more on farming then hunting. The men did all the hunting and the woman took care of the children. The food the Haudenosaunee plants are called the three sisters. They are called the three sisters because they support each other. The three sisters are the maize,beans, and squash. Maize is a type of corn and Maize in Spanish means corn. The Algonquins and Haudenosaunee both used all the parts of the animal. When they capture one they would kill it and praise it for giving them food. When a child first capture a bear he cuts the bear claw. Then, the mom makes it into a necklace. The necklaces proves that the child already hunted a bear. Today There are still Native Americans living on the Earth.

"American" is a broad term. Taken as meaning North and South America, we simply do not know. There is evidence that tribes from Europe may have arrived here as far back as 100,000 years ago. The Hopi tribe of the North American southwest have a tradition that the first Amerind tribe to migrate here from the north encountered "white" people when they arrived, and systematically wiped them out. There is evidence that the Chinese may have landed on the west coast of North America in the 15th century, and Polynesians may have landed on the west coast of North and South America as far back as 170,000 years ago.

This question doesn't make sense. The word "Indians" is used to refer to people from India, or to Native Americans. So you're asking who was the first Native American to meet the Native Americans!

The first humans who populated North and South America were from Asia - they crossed east over a land bridge that no longer exists as they followed the migrating herds. They entered the continent at what is now Alaska and from there spread east and south across the entire land.

Other individuals appear to have crossed the Pacific Ocean; there are some indigenous peoples along the Chilean coast with phenotypic and genetic similarities to the Japanese. The people of Hawai'i most likely skipped across the ocean through the island chains, and are descended from the peoples of the archipelagos of Southeast Asia/Northeast Australia.
