What children learn in Level 16
- American Indians lived all across North America for thousands of years before Europeans arrived. There were hundreds of nations, each with its own language and way of life.
- Georgia studies six regions where American Indians lived: the Arctic, the Northwest, the Southwest, the Plains, the Northeast, and the Southeast.
- Each region has different land and weather. People used what was around them for food, clothing, and homes. The gray areas were home to other nations, too.
- Many people call these nations American Indians or Native Americans, and many prefer their own nation's name, like Cherokee or Hopi. Every nation in this world is still here today!
