In North America with the Indians
They are Indians, however Indians in America North and South are descendants of Aryans. only When Christopher Columbus reached America he called it Indies because the kings and chieftains there he encountered in America, were all Indians who gave Columbus gifts of Jewellery and gold much found traditionally in India.

Woodland Indians in the North typically wore clothing made from thick, warm materials like furs and hides to withstand cold weather. In contrast, Woodland Indians in the South wore lighter, more breathable clothing made from plants like cotton or woven fibers to cope with the warmer climate. Both groups used intricate beadwork and decorative elements in their clothing for cultural expression.
