Many cenuries they lived and created culture and one whole new civilization without any help or contact with other civilizations fromother continents.They were alone, and whole future was in front of them...
When the white people came to America, believing mistakenly that they came to India, knowing that they found a new continent or how they will call it New World. When the migrations started the whole history of American Indians changed.The white people came there and everything was destroyd.A lot of people were killed in cruel battles, between the white ones and the red ones(Indians).
