Did you know, that before


Did you know, that before Christopher Columbus discovered America it was covered with Indians? They ran around wearing groin cloths, and head dresses. They smoked out of tabacco pipes, and hunted buffalo. They made wigwams, tepees, even canoes. The Indians were crafty people, who rode pinto horses, sometimes even stallions. Did you know, that Indians came to America through immigration, and that they were not the first to discover America? Did you know, before Christopher Columbus, it was the Native Americans who discovered America? Well, we did. We are Native Americans, we are not Indians. We did not come from India.
