Question

What do you know about the Native Americans?

Short Note

Solution

Even before the arrival of Europeans in America, there was an indigenous population, called Native Americans (they used to be referred to as ‘Red Indians’; it is now considered demeaning, and historians do not use this term anymore), spread over the vast American continent. They belonged to various tribes and many of them were at war with each other. Besides they refused to work under conditions of slavery. Through a combination of violence and diplomacy, Europeans conquered and defeated many of these tribes. Greatly reduced in numbers today they live in various reserves.
