America In The BeginningWho were the first Americans?This land bridge is known as Bernigia.Animals like mammoths crossed the bridge or migrated to the America's. This caused ocean levels to rise.		and expose land.In the Bering straight a land bridge appeared connecting Siberia  (Asia)& the Americas.30,000 years ago During a period of low temperatures called an ice ageThe world was covered in glaciers or sheets of ice. How and why did they come here?
America In The BeginningWhat happened when they came to America?The ice age ended warming up glaciers causing water levels to rise covering up the land bridge. Some animals died off like mammoths.Living in many different parts of the Americas the Natives needed to adjust or adapt to every thing in the new surrounds that made up each of their own environmentsin order to survive.  How did they meet their new needs?Hunter's in Asia who moved from place to place to find food or  nomads followed the mammoths and spread out or  migrated to the America's
How did Native Americans adjust to the new environments?America In The BeginningDifferent groups in different environments developed their own beliefs and ways of life or  culture.  Groups in the same environments adapted similar life styles, and language creating cultural region.Many Native American have these things in common.1. Nature has a spirit & believe in many gods.2.

Up to 4 stories  and had hundreds of rooms. Clothes were made of cotton that they grew. Using plants and minerals, they dyed the fabricLived near naturally flooded areas.

These houses had pointed roofs made of leaves.Towns included many mounds, first mounds were burial sights, but others were larger, and used as platforms for temples.  It took many months, even years, to build these mounds, because they moved the dirt 1 basket full at a time.Simple clothing was made of deer skin.
