Native American Portal
The indigenous peoples of the Americas are called Native Americans. These 'Indians' belonged to at least 300 different tribes and spoke over 2,000 different languages. Each tribe spoke a separate language, and their houses, clothes and entertainment differed. However, they all followed a similar life based on hunting and farming.
To them the spirit world was embodied in every part of the natural world, whether animal, vegetable, or mineral.
