The first people
to live in North America came from Asia between 10,000
and 30,000 years ago. At that time, North America and
Asia were connected by a land bridge.
These people may
have been following herds of buffalo or woolly mammoths.
They eventually spread throughout Canada and the United
States.
Eventually North America
became populated by many different tribes of people.
These tribes lived in most areas of the country, adapting
to the local land and climate.
Many lived in
mountainous regions, others on plains. They hunted,
fished, and where soil permitted they planted crops and
farmed the land.
