 * History **


 * It is assumed that the indigenous people in America came to the American continents by the end of the last ice age, about 16 000 years ago. The indigenous people travelled to America across the Bering Strait between Alaska and Siberia on several occasions. But no one knows for sure the exact time and the selected route across the Bering Strait. Some of the Native Americans have maybe travelled cross the sea. Most, if not all, of the Native American are from Siberia or Asia. The people moved all around the American continents and they developed hundreds of different ethnic groups. **
 * Before the European colonization, the Native Americans lived in different tribes all around the American continent. The way the Native Americans got most of their food and clothes was through hunting. ** ** In the late 1400s the European came across the ocean and invented the American continent and the European colonization began. The Europeans modified the Native American way of living and the Native American culture. The Europeans also brought diseases that the indigenous people were not immune to. Chickenpox and measles, which were common diseases in Europe, was brought to the American continent and many Indigenous people died. ** ** Other things the Europeans brought over the ocean were weapons and horses. With such new equipments for the Native Americans, it would be easier to hunt. **
