Money

• The United States Mint has commenced production
  of America's very first 24-karat, pure gold
  (.999 fineness) one-ounce coin, entitled the
  American Buffalo. This beautiful coin, nicknamed
  "The Buffalo," is based upon American sculptor
  James Earle Fraser's revered Buffalo Nickel of
  1913. The Buffalo displays Fraser's classic
  design of an American Indian on the front and the
  renown American bison on the reverse. These coins
  measure 1.287 inches (32.7 mm) in diameter and
  are slightly larger and thicker than the Kennedy
  Half-Dollar

Info.

• Note This is a single part of what will be, by
  my classification, about 240 compact tribal
  histories (contact to 1900). It is limited to the
  lower 48 states of the U.S. but also includes
  those First Nations from Canada and Mexico that
  had important roles (Huron, Micmac, Assiniboine,
  etc.).

  English.There language is similar to Huron
  
  language.

They moved?

• The Susquehannock people moved into the
  Susquehanna valley from northern regions around
  1150 C.E. Originally they occupied areas to the
  north of the Susquehanna valley. Wars with the
  Iroquois, however, drove them south. Here they
  drove out other Algonquin tribes and set up their
  own permanent villages. First European contact
  came in 1608 when Captain John Smith from
  Jamestown came across the Susquehannock along the
  Chesapeake Bay. He described them as giants.

Shelter

• The Susquehannock villages stretched along the
  banks of the Susquehanna River. They were the
  trading partners of the Erie in northern Ontario
  and the Huron in southern Ontario. The
  Susquehannock were farmers, fishermen and
  hunters. In the spring they planted corn, beans
  and squash. After the planting had been completed
  they would move to temporary camps on the
  Chesapeake Bay where they would hunt and fish. In
  the fall they would return to harvest the crops
  and to hunt.

They call themselves

• It is unknown what the Susquehannocks called
  themselves. The Susquehannocks were
  Iroquoian-speaking people who rejected
  invitations to join the Five Nations Iroquois
  League to the north. This made them a typical
  enemy of the Five Nations. The true nature of
  their society, whether comprised of a single
  tribe in a single village, or a confederacy of
  smaller tribes occupying scattered villages, will
  probably never be known, since Europeans seldom
  visited this inland region during the early
  colonial period. It's likely that the
  Susquehannocks had occupied the same land for
  several hundred years. They had a formidable
  village in the lower river valley near
  present-day Lancaster, Pennsylvania, when Captain
  John Smith of Jamestown met them in 1608. He
  estimated the population of their village to be
  two thousand, although he never visited it.
  Modern estimates of their population, including
  the whole territory in 1600, range as high as
  seven thousand
