Which native American tribe was there before the pilgrims?

Answer 1

The Patuxet tribe, which belonged to the Wampanoag confederation of tribes. This tribe had been completely wiped out by diseases brought from Europe by earlier explorers. Since they had not been exposed to these diseases, they had no immunity to them. Squanto, also known as Tisquantum, was the last Survivor of this tribe. As a young boy he had been taken to Europe and sold as a slave. He made his way back to his homeland were he provided invaluable assistance to the Pilgrims as they adjusted to life in the New World. While guiding a Pilgrim exploring party under Govenor Bradford around Cape Cod in 1622, he became ill and died.

Answer 2

Some Native American tribes that lived in New England were Abenaki, Penobscot Nation, Wampanoag, Mashantucket Pequot Nation, and the Nipmuc Nation. Other tribes native to the area were Shinnecock Indian Nation and the Eastern Pequot Nation.

Answer 3

The Native American origin has come under some scrutiny in the last 15 years or so. But I will give you the short and simple answer which is two fold. The beliefs are that while some obviously came from the Siberian region of Asia, genetic proof has shown that there was also interaction from European groups predating the Vikings. It is safe to say that there is no definitive answer but it would most likely consist of an amalgamation of Siberian and European ancestry.

Answer 4

That is an extremely difficult question to answer, since we have almost no knowledge of tribal populations, histories or organisation prior to their first contact with Europeans.

In Ohio, for example, there were numerous very small tribes that disappeared before Europeans arrived and they are almost unknown; the Great Plains tribes did not exist before Europeans arrived and re-introduced horses to the Americas; many tribes split into two or more tribes after settlers began to move west.

At the time of first contact with Europeans (and that time was different across the continent), the largest recorded populations were around 15,000 Blackfoot, 73,700 Inuit (Eskimo), 22,000 Chinook, 18,000 Creeks, 22,000 Cherokee, 18,000 Huron, 33,000 Ojibwa (Chippewa), 20,000 Plateau Salish, 30,000 Yaqui, 18,000 Yokuts and 20,000 Aleuts.

These figures are not at all straightforward. In many cases (such as Eskimo, Aleut, Plateau Salish and many others), the names actually refer to groups of closely-related tribes, not one very large one. So although the Inuit may appear to be the largest group, they were never a single tribe but a loose collection of different tribes. By the same token there was never a Sioux tribe, or a Plateau Salish tribe.
