6
How did early civilizations develop in the
Americas?
Scientists have several theories about how people
first came to the Americas.
One theory says people migrated over a land
bridge.
One theory says people came by boat.
7
Between 10,000 and 100,000 years ago, much of the
world was covered by glaciers.
As more of the worlds water froze, the level of
the oceans dropped, and a land bridge appeared
between Siberia and Alaska.
Today, that land bridge lies under a narrow
waterway called the Bering Strait.
8
Many scientists think people first came to North
America between 20,000 and 30,000 years ago.
They believe that hunters crossed the land bridge
in pursuit of animals such as the woolly mammoth.
9
Over thousands of years, people spread across
North and South America.
10
Over the centuries, several civilizations rose
and declined in the Americas
  • the Mayas
  • the Aztecs
  • the Incas

11
How did geography influence the development of
cultures in North America?
In North America, groups of people developed
unique cultures.
Around 3,000 years ago, various groups began to
emerge in an area stretching from the Appalachian
Mountains to the Mississippi Valley.
12
These people are called Mound Builders because
they constructed large piles of earth as burial
places or as the foundations of buildings.
One group of Mound Builders, the Mississippians,
built the first cities in North America.
13
The Anasazi culture emerged in southern Utah,
Colorado, northern Arizona, and New Mexico.
They built large cliff dwellings and were skilled
at making baskets, pottery, and jewelry.
Mysteriously, by 1300, the Anasazis had abandoned
their cliff dwellings.
14
From about 300 B.C. to A.D. 1450, farmers called
the Hohokam lived in present-day Arizona.
Through trade with people who lived on the Gulf
of California, they got seashells that they used
to create jewelry and religious objects.
15
Scholars classify Native Americans into several
culture areas.
16
Ways of Life Ways of Life
Hunting and Gathering In many culture areas, women gathered plants and roots, and men hunted and fished.
Farming In other culture areas, Native Americans grew crops suited to the climate in which they lived. Populations were much larger in farming areas than in non-farming areas.
Trading Trade was common in all culture areas. Seashells or beads were used as currency in some areas.
17
Many Native Americans felt a close relationship
to the natural world.
They believed that spirits dwelled in nature and
that these spirits were part of their daily lives.
Native American storytellers passed down their
beliefs and history from generation to generation.

Lets Discuss. . .
  • Turn to your partner and discuss one thing about
    todays Unit Learning goal you are sure about.
  • Now discuss one thing you are not clear about or
    may need some extra help to understand.

20
Well before 10,000 B.C., Native Americans had
spread across the North American continent.
21
Native American tribes built different kinds of
homes. The types of houses they built depended
on the climate and the geography in the region
where they lived.
22
People of the Arctic, Subarctic, and Pacific Northwest People of the Arctic, Subarctic, and Pacific Northwest
People of the Arctic They lived in a bitterly cold land. They ate fish, shellfish, and birds and hunted marine mammals from kayaks.
People of the Subarctic They lived in dense forests in a land too cold for farming. They hunted caribou, moose, and bear.
People of the Pacific Northwest There were plenty of animals and plants where they lived, so they could live in permanent settlements even though they were not farmers.
23
People of the Far West and the Southwest People of the Far West and the Southwest
People of the Far West They lived in different geographic regions, ranging from cold northern forests and grasslands to hot southern deserts. Housing types ranged from pit houses to bark houses to wooden houses.
People of the Southwest The climate in their region was dry most of the year but wet in July and August. Some people farmed others hunted.
24
The Pueblo people, such as the Hopis and Zunis,
had stable towns with houses made of adobe. The
towns lasted for hundreds of years.
25
In the eastern Plains, the people farmed and
lived in earth lodges.
Much of the western Plains was too dry to farm,
so the people hunted buffalo, which provided them
with most of the things they needed to live.
People in the western Plains lived in tepees or
round pits in the ground.
26
People of the Eastern Woodlands People of the Eastern Woodlands
Early People of the Eastern Woodlands The earliest woodlands people hunted, fished, and gathered nuts and berries. By about A.D. 1000, some woodlands people had begun farming.
Algonquian People These people spoke Algonquian languages and lived in southern Canada, the Great Lakes area, and along the Atlantic coast to Virginia.
Iroquois People These groups of people spoke Iroquoian languages and lived in what is now New York.
27
People of the Southeast People of the Southeast
Cherokees and Creeks The land and the climate of the southeast supported farming. The Cherokees and the Creeks built wooden-frame houses covered with straw mats and plastered with mud clay.
Natchez People These people lived on the Gulf Coast. They created a complex society with a ruler, nobles, and commoners.
