the native Americans most people think of lived before English settlers came to America

Native Americans still live in the U.S., but on reserves. They came to North America many thousands of years ago from Europe and Asia across the Bering Strait, which is now submerged in the ocean between Alaska and Russia. They were still cavemen then, following the animals they hunted and ate as they migrated. Over those many thousand years, they grew more and more advanced, up until the Native Americans as we know them.

How did Native Americans use eggs?

Native Americans used eggs in a variety of ways. They would break them open and eat them raw for much nourishment. Sometimes they would bake them or scramble them. They also fed them to their horses to make them faster and give them endurance. The most unheard of thing that Native Americans did with eggs was on a certain night of the year, they would run around egging each others tepee's and horses just for fun.


Who was the first person to actually land in America?

The first people into the Americas were nomadic hunters. They didn't plan to come here, they followed the migrations of the game. There was no point where somebody said "hey, welcome to the New World" Like most people, they were interested in getting enough to eat and leaving things a bit better for their children. We don't consider them "Native Americans" as they weren't born here and they predate the development of today's Native Americans(Indians). Rather we call them "PaleoIndians." The first Europeans to arrive in North America -- at least the first for whom there is solid evidence -- were Norse, traveling west from Greenland, where Erik the Red had founded a settlement around the year 985.


Who was the very first explorer to come to America?

The title of the very first explorer to reach America is often attributed to Norse explorer Leif Erikson, who is believed to have arrived around the year 1000 AD, landing in a place he called Vinland, likely located in present-day Newfoundland, Canada. However, evidence of earlier human presence in the Americas exists, such as the migration of Native Americans across the Bering land bridge thousands of years prior. Columbus's arrival in 1492 marked the beginning of widespread European exploration and colonization.

Were African-Americans and Native Americans enemies or friends?

From my Native American and African American background, I can tell you that my relative native american and african american families worked along side each other on the plantation. No, they probably didn't enjoy being slaves on a plantation, but it is evidence given from my 100 year old grandmother. She made a book about our family history I never forgot and the native american/ african american mixing was the most recent (meaning 1800's) further mixing of my already west indian family line. So, they were friends and a little more.
