A. Reading
Read the following text carefully.
Originally the Native Americans came from Asia. Over 20,000 years ago, they travelled along land between Siberia and Alaska. Before the Europeans came to America, there were over 300 different groups or tribes.
Not all tribes lived in the same way. Some tribes lived in small earth houses and grew their own food. Some ate only the grass, nuts and fruit they could find. Other tribes were fishermen and lived in wooden houses.
Most Native American tribes were very peaceful. They wanted to live happily with nature and each other. They believed spirits lived in natural things such as rocks, trees or water.
They thought these spirits could bring success in hunting, farming, fighting or marriage. They even organized special ceremonies with dancing and music for these events.
Native American songs and poetry were an important part of their tradition. Most tribes didn’t have a written language or history, so it was a way of keeping their stories and culture alive. Another tradition among some Native Americans was the peace pipe. Smoking this pipe with a stranger, meant friendship and peace.
Now most Native Americans live in the empty lands west of the Mississippi River. Many live on “reservations”, land that the Government recognizes is theirs. Native Americans do not want their old traditions to die so they hold festivals called “pow-wows” in different parts of the United States. They perform their dances and show their art and music. They also have these ceremonies to help their children understand their culture and history. Two very large festivals are the Bald Eagle Gathering in Glacier National Park, Montana, in late October, and the United Tribes Pow Wow, which takes place each September in North Dakota.
