Familiar Strangers - Indians USA

once notorious explorer Columbus himself to the unknown shores, decided if sailed to India.So, without thinking twice, he had seen called Native American Indians.Fortunately, some similarities between the inhabitants of India, Columbus discovered the Indians still there.And scientists believe that the Indians back to the United States pulled out of Asia.According to some studies, there is no time between the two continents - America and Asia on the site of the modern Bering Strait there was a land bridge, on which, and migrated from Asia to America, ancestors of the current North American Indians.Many thousands of years, Native Americans inhabited the land of the United States of North America and owned it alone.Not yet opened the way to Europe by Christopher Columbus, and the beginning of European colonization of American lands.

Before that, American Indians lived in the main clans.And only the most advanced, such as predicted frustrated in 2012, the end of the world Aztecs and Mayans, have already learned to Columbus joy of class society.Before the colonization of the Americas lived about 2200 Indian peoples.At the beginning of the XXI century as a result of certain events they have about a thousand.All the Indian peoples in the XV century united 400 tribes, each of which speaks its own language.Until the XIX century, these tribes had no written language, however, some of them used pictographic writing.By the way, in any language of the North American tribes, no profanity.Do not curse the Indians USA.Just as they do not have a familiar European and American modern civilized ambiguous irony.Do not joke Indians in the United States on the themes from the waist down.Relationship floors for them - is that from God.That is - holy.

hunters and farmers of the North American tribes have left a lot of nice stories and mysterious.For example, a recipe wonderful beef concentrate, perhaps the first in history sublimated product, the progenitor of present bouillon cubes.Product called pemmican, and was made of dried or cured meat buffalo fat and dried berries.The Indians took the US military campaigns in pemmican and a long journey.Pemmican advantage over other products was that, with a small relative weight and volume, it provides a person with all the nutrients and energy.In addition, carefully dried raw materials could not deteriorate over the years, despite the absence of concentrate preservatives and stabilizers.These features allowed him pemmikanu become the number one product for the Arctic and Antarctic researchers, and are widely used in our time.

Today in the US, according to the official authorities, there are 565 tribes of American Indians living on reservations.The complex is a legal device - reservation - there was not a good life, but success still exists today.They are not laws of US states, the United States and today the Indians can form their governments to pass laws to set and pay taxes.In short, such a strange story.And a lot of politics.
