WHEN THE WHITE MEN CAME There are traces from humans that lived in America and they leads us back 16000 years. It is assumed that the indigenous people wandered over a land bridge over Bering Strait between Alaska and Siberia, and this migration continued in several years. In 1492 Kristoffer Columbus came to America, and thought he was the first one to set his foot on the land, but he was wrong, because the Native Americans had already been living there for thousands of years.

After Columbus came to America the Europeans were selfish and curious, and they wanted to settle down in America. If that was going to happen, somebody had to move. The methods that were used to drive the Indians away were stalking, betrayal, removal and extermination. The Europeans wanted to drive the Indians away from the coast because there were a lot of gold and food there, so they moved them to places where it was hard to grow food.
