Today we talked about how the relationship between Native Americans and Europeans fell apart after the Europeans brought over many deadly diseases. The big theory is that the Native Americans came to the Americas by crossing the Bering Land Bridge (Bering Sea).Europeans put up fences and owned land and so when they wanted to buy the Native Americans land, the Native Americans didn't understand the whole land concept. In 1890, the Native Americans surrendered to the government.Some interesting facts that we talked about today was that Native Americans didn't grow beards or mustaches. The main reason why people came over to America was so they could have religious freedom.We then watched part 1 of America, The Story of Us.
