THE NATIVE AMERICAN INDIANS
The Native Americans were the first inhabitants of the Americas.
They were our first environmentalists and horticulturists.
To them the spirit world was embodied in every part of the natural world, whether animal, vegetable, or mineral.
Thus they treated the natural world with great respect.
Native Americans first survived as big-game hunters and as fishermen.
The Indians were excellent fishermen and invented the birch-bark canoe. It was not long before they became agricultural,
adapting to climate changes and the discovery of the plant maize (corn). First harvesting wild plants with edible seeds, they gradually developed hybrids to increase productivity.
Soon, maize, squash, and beans became major agricultural products.
The history of the Native Americans is a fascinating subject.
Did they originate here, or did they migrate with the seafarers of Phoenicia, or from Siberia across Beringia, a land mass once connecting Siberia with Alaska, or perhaps a combination of the above?
The oral tradition of the Native Americans must be respected along with the archaeological, linguistic and scientific studies of pre-Columbian history.
An ancient civilization has been discovered in Caral in the Supé Valley of Peru.
The Inca of Peru, the Olmecs and Mayans of Central America,
and then the Toltecs and Aztecs of Mexico were early Native American civilizations.
The earliest peoples within our national borders were the Southwest Ancestral Puebloans, identified at sites such as Chaco Canyon, New Mexico, and the Mississippian Mound Builders at places such as Cahokia on the Mississippi River.
The Native Americans settled in different regions in the country and formed independent tribes with distinct Indian cultures, such that by 1492 there were over 300 separate native american languages!
When Christopher Columbus landed on October 12, 1492, he thought he had reached India, and called the native people Indians, a name which native americans have come to appreciate, as the term gave them a collective identity.
The following table includes mainland tribes of both historical and current interest.

Native American Indians welcomed us to these shores in Florida, Virginia, and Massachusetts, and eventually the entire East coast.
The first Mass of Thanksgiving on American soil was actually celebrated by the Spanish with the Timucuan Indians from Seloy village in attendance on September 8, 1565 in St. Augustine, Florida.
The , who sought religious freedom and crossed the Atlantic in the Mayflower in 1620, were treated kindly by the Wampanoag tribe in Massachusetts. Samoset and Squanto showed the Pilgrims how to plant corn, beans, and pumpkins, and where to hunt and fish.
William Bradford and the sachem Massasoit made a treaty which they honored as long as both were alive.
The image of the first
at Plymouth in 1621 with the Pilgrims, Massasoit of Pokanoket and the Wampanoag Nation is forever etched upon the American conscience.
The Pilgrims in Massachusetts, Roger Williams and the Baptists in Rhode Island, Leonard Calvert and the Catholics in Maryland, and William Penn and the Quakers in Pennsylvania began their religious settlements buying the land and treating the Indians with mutual respect.
For example, Father Andrew White SJ, who was one of the first settlers to arrive in
on March 25, 1634, worked patiently with the Piscataway Indians of Maryland and prepared a grammar dictionary and catechism in their native tongue:
this was the first time an Indian language was distilled into grammatical form.
However this harmonious relationship was short-lived.
First, Native Americans had no immunologic protection against such European diseases as smallpox, typhus, and measles.
For those in frequent contact with European settlers, the effects were devastating:
it is estimated that
up to 90% of native Americans,
perhaps numbering in the millions, died during the first century of contact with the Europeans.
Second, Native Americans had different spiritual beliefs than Europeans.
They saw the land as a living being, as a mother who nurtured them.
The thought of buying and selling land was unthinkable to them.
The Indians saw the offers from Europeans for land to build and farm as joining an existing relationship, not to transfer ownership.
Misperception ensued.
The missionary John Eliot translated the Bible into the Massachusetts language, but some tribes resented the attempts of the Europeans to convert them to Christianity.
And third, the Indian tribes, with the exception of the Five Nation Iroquois, lacked unity, and, as most of the European nations at the time, were often rivals with each other.
This made them vulnerable to the Europeans with their superior weaponry.
The Virginia Company was the first to establish a permanent English colony in 1607 at Jamestown, named after King James I of England.
The Anglicans barely survived the first winter, but antagonism quickly developed with the Powhatan Indians.
The first of three Anglo-Powhatan Wars ensued as early as 1609, and did not resolve until the
of Pocahontas and John Rolfe in 1614. Tobacco brought survival to the English colony.
The first meeting of the House of Burgesses in a Jamestown church on July 30, 1619 was the first representative government in the English colonies.
Atrocities between Indians and colonists happened everywhere and were committed by both sides.
Five Spanish Franciscans who attempted to introduce monogamous marriage to the Guale Indians were martyred in Darien, Georgia in September 1597.
Five hundred Pequot Indian men, women, and children were burned alive in May 1637 at Mystic River, Connecticut by a vengeful Puritan militia in the name of divine retribution.
Isaac Jogues and seven French Jesuits were martyred by the Mohawks at Auriesville, New York in October 1646.
Metacomet, known as King Philip, the son of the Pokanoket sachem Massasoit, tried to preserve Native American presence against the unprincipled land grab of colonial expansion in New England, and led the June 1675 - August 1676 King Philip's War, but died August 12, 1676.
But the worst devastation began in 1702, when James Moore, the English Governor of South Carolina, wrote his own Black Legend when he, his soldiers, and Yemassee Indians swept through Georgia to Florida and annihilated the Franciscan missions and massacred the Timucua and Apalachee Mission Indians of Florida, some by impaling them on stakes or burning them alive.
He then attacked St. Augustine, but the townsfolk retreated to St. Mark's Castle.
Moore bombarded the castle for 50 days, but, unsuccessful, Moore finally gave up, but not before he torched most of the town. By his own writings, Moore captured several thousand Indians and reduced them to slavery.
Disgraced, he stepped down as governor upon his return, not because of his extreme cruelty, but because of his failure to capture St. Augustine!
What began peacefully ended in aggression and conflict.
European settlers subsequently drove the Indians from their lands as settlers moved westward.
Treaties were often drawn up after Indian leaders were plied with alcohol.
Whether through intimidation, war, treachery, or outright fraud, the Native Americans were systematically dispossessed of their lands.
An Indian known as the Prophet advised the Shawnee to give up alcohol and the ways of the white men and return to their traditional ways.
He founded a peaceful community in Prophetstown, Indiana.
His brother Tecumseh organized surrounding Indian tribes into a Confederation to resist the incursions of white settlers.
In the Treaty of Fort Wayne in 1809, William Henry Harrison
negotiated with only three of the many Indian tribes and bought 3 million acres in Indiana and Illinois for less than one cent an acre!
When an Illinois tribe raided a small village, Harrison took advantage of the situation and headed to Prophetstown, even though the Shawnee had nothing to do with the raid.
Harrison defeated the Confederation at Tippecanoe on November 11, 1811.
The peak of disenfranchisement occurred with the enforcement of President Andrew Jackson's Indian Removal Act of 1830.
Four of the five "Civilized Tribes" were driven from their lands.
These acts left the once proud and resourceful Indians a dispirited, heart-broken race.
The Choctaws in Mississippi and Alabama were the first to be resettled in 1832, followed by the Creeks (1836) and the Chickasaws (1837).
But it was the resettlement of Cherokees by Jackson's Federal troops in
from Georgia to lands west of the Mississippi that left 5000 Cherokees dead on the Trail of Tears.
The fifth tribe, the only one to maintain presence in their native territory, were the Seminoles of Florida.
In spite of three Seminole Wars, the Seminoles wisely never signed a treaty with the Federal Government and survived in Florida!
The Indians of the Great Plains and those resettled from the East faced a similar fate from the Western expansion of the Nation.
The Lewis and Clark Expedition from 1804 made it to the Pacific Ocean because of the hospitality of the Mandan Indians and their Shoshone guide Sacajawea.
Once again, this kindness was not returned.
Two different cultures would face off on the Plains for nearly a century: the "Manifest Destiny" of white settlers heading west versus the Plains Indians protecting their heritage.
In an effort to confine Indians to reservations, Federal agents would sign treaties such as the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1851, granting extensive territory to the Indians, only to have other Federal agents break the treaties in support of the Homestead Act of 1862, which granted land to predominantly white settlers from the East.
But the Indians put up incredible resistance under such figures as Red Cloud, the only Indian to have defeated the U. S Army in Red Cloud's War of . In reaction to the US breaking the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868, Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse defeated George Custer and the Seventh Cavalry in Custer's Last Stand at Little Big Horn on June 25, 1876.
Using justified resistance as an excuse, Federal troops eventually drove the Nez Perce, Crows, Apache, Sioux, and other Plains Indians from their lands. In response to the Ghost Dance, the final defeat occurred at Wounded Knee in December 1890, with the death of Sitting Bull, Big Foot, and a band of Lakotas.
The ultimate absurdity occurred on June 2, 1924 when the American Indians, the natives of America, were granted citizenship by the very people that drove them off their lands.
The Navajo Nation played an invaluable role in the Pacific theater during World War II.
When the Japanese had broken American codes and launched the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the U. S. Marines turned to the Navajo nation to develop a code based on their language, a code which the Japanese never could decipher.
The Navajo code talkers were instrumental to our victory in Iwo Jima in March of 1945.
A Franciscan priest founded the Southwest Indian Foundation in Gallup, New Mexico in 1968.
A memorial to the Navajo Code Talkers has been completed and is situated in the Gallup Cultural Center.
Fortunately, during the latter half of the twentieth century, beginning with President John F. Kennedy, long-overdue respect and concessions have been given to our Native Americans.
U. S. CENSUS
There has been a flourishing of the Native American population: in 2010, 5.2 million people in the United States identified themselves as American Indian and Alaska Native, either alone or in combination with one or more different races. Out of this total, 2.9 million people identified themselves as American Indian and Alaska Native alone.
The Native American Indian population experienced an increase of 39%, the greatest growth of any population group since 2000.
41% of American Indians live in the West, and 33% in the South.
The 2010 Census indicated that the five states with the largest Native American Indian population in order are California, Oklahoma, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas.
Alaska, Florida, North Carolina, and South Dakota experienced the greatest growth.
The following chart lists the Top 25 American Indian Tribes by population in the year 2010.
These are the original U. S. Census Bureau figures, which indicate those listing one tribe only.
Whereas the Cherokee tribe has the largest overall population, the Navajo tribe has the largest population reporting one tribe only.

Its service is very good but some passengers are still not satisfied with it and that is why in 1998 and 1999 the company received letters of complaints(投诉) from consumers or passengers who pointed out over a dozen kinds of problems which are divided in groups in the followingtable. This division is called Category. Problems that appear when the plane is flying are Flight problems. Those about passengers' things carried by the plane are Baggage problems. Customer service refers to service work which passengers are not satisfied with. Over sales of seats are about the fact that more seats are sold and as a result the plane is too crowded to be safe. Refund problems appear when passengers fail to receive the money paid to them because of what they have lost. Fares are problems about the price of tickets. Reservations are problems that appear when passengers could not get the tickets they have alreadybooked. Tours are problems about the passengers'traveling by air or hotel problems.
