Native Americans first arrived in North America approximately 15,000-33,000 years ago by crossing a land bridge from Asia. They settled throughout North America in distinct regions defined by different environments, including the Southwest, Pacific Northwest, Great Plains, Southeast, and Northeast. The geography of each region influenced the challenges Native Americans faced, the structures they built for shelter, and the foods they were able to farm and hunt to support their societies.

The Land Bridge Theory claims that during the Ice Age, ocean levels dropped and exposed dry land connecting Siberia and Alaska.
The new exposed lands connected Asia to the Americas.
Scientists believe the reason people came to the Americas between 20,000 to 30,000 years ago following/hunting the woolly mammoth.

A CONTINENT OF CULTURES
Recent breakthroughs in archaeology and genetics have demonstrated that the first inhabitants of the
Americas arrived from Siberia at least 15,500 years ago BP.* Gradually these nomads filtered southward,
some likely following the Pacific coastline in small boats, others making their way down a narrow,
glacier–free corridor along the eastern base of the Rocky Mountains and onto the northern Great Plains.
There they found and hunted a stunning array of huge mammals, so–called megafauna. These animals
included mammoths that were twice as heavy as elephants, giant bison, sloths that were taller than
giraffes, several kinds of camels, and terrifying, 8–foot–long lions. Within a few thousand years the
descendants of these Siberians, people whom Columbus would wishfully dub “Indians,” had spread
throughout the length and breadth of the Americas.
nomad a member of a group of people who have no fixed home and who move about, usually seasonally,
in pursuit of food, water, and other resources.
Opinion
If your outstretched arm represented North America's human history, contact with Europe would happen
around the second knuckle of your index finger, with the fingertips being the present. Why do you think
students learn so little about the Americas before 1492?
This first colonization of the Americas coincided with, and perhaps accelerated, profound changes in the
natural world. The last Ice Age literally melted away as warmer global temperatures freed the great
reservoirs of water once locked in glaciers. A rise in sea levels inundated the Bering Strait, submerging
the land bridge and creating new lakes and river systems. The emergence of new ecosystems—climates,
waterways, and land environments in which humans interacted with other animals and plants—made for
ever–greater diversity. The first human inhabitants of the Americas had fed, clothed, warmed, and armed
themselves in part by hunting megafauna, and some combination of overhunting and climate change
resulted in the extinction of most of these giants by the end of the Ice Age. As glaciers receded and
human populations increased, the first Americans had to adapt to changing conditions. They adjusted by
hunting smaller animals with new, more specialized kinds of stone tools and by learning to exploit
particular places more efficiently.

ecosystem a community and/or region studied as a system of functioning relationships between
organisms and their environments.
So it was that between 10,000 and 2,500 years ago distinctive regional cultures developed among the
peoples of the Americas. Those who remained in the Great Plains turned to hunting the much smaller
descendants of the now–extinct giant bison; those in the deserts of the Great Basin survived on small
game, seeds, and e.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

9. I. Southwest The Native Tribes of the Southwest lived in the areas of the “Four Corners” of Arizona, Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico.
10.
11. The native peoples of the Southwest settled on top of large plateaus. The Southwest climate is hot and dry. There is little rainfall, but there are several large rivers.
12. The Native Americans in the Southwest developed a complex civilization with cities made from stone and mud houses of multiple stories.
13. Near rivers like the Colorado, they farmed the “three sisters:” corn, beans, and squash.
16. The native people of the West lived primarily in fishing villages, and also collected wild foods such as acorns and berries.
17. The Haida are known for their totem poles and stylized designs. Native Americans in the Pacific Northwest utilized pine trees for building, boating, and art.
18.
19. Geography of the Great Plains The Great Plains are made up of flat grasslands that are hot and dry in the summer, but cold and snowy in the winter.
20. Many peoples of the Great Plains lived in temporary structures called tipis. People like the Sioux and Pawnee were nomadic buffalo hunters.
21.
22.
23.
24.
25. Geography of the Northeast Dense forests and plenty of year-round rainfall make for a lush natural environment.
26. The native peoples of the East included the 5 nations of the Iroquois. They lived in permanent structures called “Long Houses” and planted corn, squash, and beans.
27. Today, there are approximately 2.7 million Native Americans from 563 tribes living in the United States. Review: How did geography influence the settlement and culture of these groups?
