AMERICAN INDIANSAmerican Indians make up many ethnic cultures in the Americas. While they share some cultural similarities, each american indian culture is as different from one another as Germans are to French or Swedish people, or any other nation in Europe. There are 557 separate american indian tribes that are recognized by the US Government. In addition, there are dozens of other american tribes that are recognized by the individual states that make up the United States, and many more "unrecognized" american indians that are seeking federal recognition for their indian tribes in the United States. The term "american indians" also includes the indian people of Canada, Mexico, Central and South America. There are over 600 american indian tribes in Canada, where they are usually called First Nations instead of tribes. Dozens more american indian tribes live in Mexico, and there are thousands of american indians who belong to hundreds of american indian tribes in Central America and South America. Some south american indians made first contact with white races as late as the 1960s, and there may still be some american indians living deep in the rain forests that have yet to be discovered by people of European ancestry. This web site is a resourse guide for links to all kinds of american indians. |
