Editor's Notes
What comes to your mind when you think about the Native American Indians?
This piece is very different from the one we just saw. Because it is much more violent, and contains a lot of action.
The Indians viewed the buffalo as a gift sent from their Creator, because not only did it provide food for the tribe, but it also contained materials that could be utilized as clothing and shelter.
Now that you have learned a little more about these people, is it easier to imagine the devastation they endured in the Spanish Mission system?
