Long, long ago, many groups were already living in America. We call them Native Americans, American Indians, or “First Nations.”

Each group has its own name, language, songs, clothes, and foods. Some built tall houses from wood; some used buffalo skins to make warm teepees they could move; some made homes from snow blocks called igloos.

They loved nature and thanked animals, trees, rivers, and the sun.

They told exciting stories under the stars, played drums, and danced in bright feathers and beads.

Today Native kids go to school like you, but they also learn their old languages and dances so the cool stories never disappear.
