This is a difficult question to answer. I will show you why.

In the Quapaw language the word for dog is "shunke".

In the Abenaki language the word for dog is "alemos".

In the Blackfoot language it is "imitáá".

The Cherokee called them "gitli".

There are more than 300 other native American languages.

Native Americans are not all one kind of people. The various tribes speak, lived, dressed, and often look differently. They have their own separate histories and religious beliefs.

Why aren't there any more Native Americans?

The assumption that Native Americans are "no more" is incorrect. Native American societies continue to thrive today as it did 1000s of years ago. Of course, just as all socities, their socities have changed and evolved. Native Americans can even be found in space; NASA astrounaunt John Herrington (Chickasaw) was the first Native American in space in 2002. Native Americans are found in all Major U.S. cities, but one probably mistakes them for as a non-American. Native American can be found on the silver screen as with "Dances with Wolves" and "Smoke Signals."


How did horses and guns affect the Native American way of life?

First and foremost, it put the Indians on equal footing with the whites. But they could hunt much better with a horse and gun. Hunting buffalo became more efficient and certainly less dangerous as they could stay a safe distance away for the kill. As with every people prior to the advent of the car, horses meant power and coupled with guns changed their entire social structure.


Who created the machine gun?

The first machine gun was the Defense Gun, invented by James Puckle in England in 1718. It was a single barrel flintlock gun with multiple revolving chambers. It was operated by a hand crank. The intended use was repelling boarders on ships. The Puckle gun was not used very widely and failed commercially. An American inventor, Dr. Richard J. Gatling, invented in 1861 and patented in 1862 the hand-cranked multibarrel gun that can be considered the first cartridge machine gun. It was used in the American Civil War. The first commercially successful self-operating machine gun was invented by another American, who later emigrated to England, Hiram Stevens Maxim. Maxim formed a company to produce his gun in 1896. This company later became Vickers. Maxim's design was highly successful and found many buyers. The Maxim gun (Vickers gun in England) saw service on all sides of WWI and many conflicts around the world afterwards.
