Reading Level: 6

North America has been inhabited by communities since
before recorded history. Some of the oldest communities are now today known as
Native American nations, or tribes. This series takes a
close look at the tribes that have influenced North America. From the Navajo
to the Arapaho, these tribes continue to have great influence on Native American history and
current Native American lifestyles. Despite facing hardship and sorrow, these Native people
have survived centuries and have passed down their beliefs, traditions, and
practices for generations. This series celebrates each Native nation and
aspires to educate others about the First Peoples of North America.
