Native Americans. Myth and Reality
There were about 10 million Native Americans in the “New World” before the Europeans arrived there. The arrival of the Europeans in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries resulted in many Indian Wars and the removal of the Native Americans to reservations in 1830. Native American tribes were all culturally and geographically different. There were about 200 languages. Many Native Americans participated in World War II.
Today there are about 2 million Native Americans in the USA. Many of them live on reservations. There are still about 500 tribes. Although many of them have fewer than 1, 000 members. They work and their jobs are connected to arts, crafts and tourism. Native Americans want to dispel myths and stereotypes about their culture and spiritual practices.
Columbus called the people he met Indios, because he thought he was in India. Although Native Americans sometimes use the term Indian, they prefer the term Native Americans. Such terms as Squaw and Brave are offensive.
Native Americans had many types of homes: from simple shelters to tall buildings. Some tribes lived in huge longhouses, some of them lived in stone houses and others lived in mud-covered structures. Wigwams were only common in the eastern USA.
Fighting between cowboys and Native Americans is a myth. Many cowboys were Native Americans! Real life cowboys often bought food from Native Americans. It isn’t also true that all Native Americans wore a headdress. Only some tribes used them for ceremonial purposes. Most tribes did not use bows and arrows. They hunted with other weapons.
Hollywood is responsible for many beliefs about Native Americans.
