Native Americans: Tribes of the USA
Native American peoples have always played a significant role in US history. Unfortunately, direct factual knowledge has been lost or misrepresented in many cases which has translated into only a vague inclusion of real Native American history into children's lessons.
Below is a list of Tribal Nations that live and/or lived in what is today the contiguous US as well as some from the North and Pacific Northeast of the North American continent. I do not profess to be an expert on Native American culture and tradition, but I do think it important to include factual information when including them in our lesson plans. Use this list to help you do further research on the Tribal Nations of your area.
Please Note: if you have a correction and/or addition to this list, please forward it to EFSNewsletter-owner@yahoogroups.com along with the recorded source of the addition/correction for verification. Some of the tribal names below are the most common English translations of the Native American dialect used by that tribe for themselves. You'll also see duplications if the Tribal lands extended over more than one state/area.
This list is quite long with additional links at the bottom for further study and research.
