Values And Beliefs Of Native Americans During The Colonial Period

This was the point in time when everything in America became recognized. At this time, everything began to fall into place. The Europeans were establishing colonies, laws were passed, treaties were signed, and friendships were made. This time is called the colonial period. Native Americans were the first to live in America. They had all the necessary tools to survive. They knew how to farm, how to hunt, and how to survive.
