“They are a loving people, without covetousness. Their speech is the sweetest and gentlest in the world.” Christopher Columbus wrote these words about the first Native Americans that he met in the New World-the Awarks of the West Indies. In the late 15th century, there were about one million Native Americans in North and Central America living in 650 tribes-300 in North America and 350 in Mexico and Central America. They were diverse, with different cultures and as many as 2,200 languages. Some groups lived in cities and villages; others were nomads. Some were farmers; others hunted animals and gathered food. Some lived in bands of between 20 and 300 people; some lived in tribes, a group of bands; some lived in nations, a group of tribes. Some tribes had democratic social structures; others had rigid class systems. Today the Native American cultures fall into one of 12 cultural areas: Northeast, Southeast, Great Plains, Southwest, Great Basin, California, Northwest Coast, Plateau, Arctic, Subarctic, Mesoamerica, and circum Caribbean.
