They are known as Native Americans however historical documents often refer to them using the term aboriginals. The term Indians or Native American Indians used to be more in use but is not really considered proper nowadays. |
Overall I know a lot about them I took a college elective about Native Americans. I can discuss the various broad language groups infamous tribes important events theories on dates of migration cultural/religious aspects interaction and dynamic with Europeans current state of affairs. |

Not as much as I would like to.. That real australians know what it means to be present. that they have been through shocking hardship yet remain willing to reach out and teach in order to help cure the madness that is seemingly running the contemporary world. COMPASSION WISDOM STRENTH |

Native Americans (ie. Cherokee Blackfoot Chumash etc) |
Original inhabitants of the United States and Americas. Colonists from Europe destroyed their communities and killed the majority of Native Americans. The US continued to oppressive Natives by pushing them off tribal lands and putting them on reservations. There is some sovereignty now on tribal lands. They have a rich culture (music and otherwise) and have a much greater respect for the earth than our current society as a whole. |

They have had a rough history of being abused and forced out of their own territory. There aren't too many people left with native blood in their heritage. |

| Anonymous from USA |
Many different tribes of Native Americans i.e Sioux Dakota Hopi Cherokee Ojibwe etc. |
They have a great respect for and strong spiritual connection to the land/environment. They have a beautiful culture that is sadly disappearing today especially in regards to the languages. As white settlers required more and more land for themselves our indigenous people were eventually killed off or forced onto the reservations that we still see today. I heard a sad story today on public radio telling of how child services have been entering the reservations and removing children from their homes. While the laws state that they should be placed in homes of people from their tribes it sounds like this is not often the case. |

The native indians of which the Cherokee are closest to me in my state of North Carolina. November is American Indian heritage month. |
The Chowanoc tribe were first visited by the British in the late 1500's. They offered food and shelter to the British during their first winter ultimately saving their lives. Ultimately the tribe was wiped out in a war with settlers after living with them peacefully for 50 years. THe arrival of the settlers was ultimately disastrous for the aboriginal inhabitants of North Carolina. |

| Rich from USA |
Native Americans |
They have a deep connection to and reverence for the land and all living beings. In their way of seeing the world everything has a spirit and is therefore equal and sacred. As such in their traditional beliefs "owning land" has no meaning since we belong to the land rather than the other way around. (See Chief Seattle's famous speech "How can one sell the air?") |
| Scott from Canada |
Native Canadians |
There are several different tribes mostly Cree where I live. There is some animosity toward the government and certain other groups for the way their people were treated in the past by the European settlers. The natives that I know and work with are very nice people with an interesting culture. |

American Indians: Cherokee Seminole Iroquois Sioux Comanche Apache Leni Lenape Crow Blackfoot Mohican Inuit North western Mohawk + others I'm not familiar with |
They were the earliest settlers although there is evidence that some tribes killed off a race of redhead people that preceded them. Our european culture drove them from their lands & the govt has broken every treaty that has been signed and still to this day they are treated as savages by many including the govt.. Really sad they have so much to offer:food music art & reverence for mother nature |

| Kerry from USA |
The Native American tribes also called "Indians". |
They lived in the land now known as the USA prior to the white man's arrival. They lived off the land and existed hand -in-hand with nature. They had strong spiritual beliefs that carried over to their entire existence. Gradually they were forced to become subordinate to the white man and his ways and now exist as a secondary culture. |

They use to migrate with their cattle around the desert until the government's taxes and rules made it very hard to make a living out of it. Now they reside in 'illegal' reservations in the east north of the desert part of Israel. |

Much like the situation that the Aboriginal Society has experienced has been the plight to the Indigenous People here in the USA. Spirits broken anger poverty. What other races out of fear and power crush what they don't understand in the name of what they call progress and greed. They day is coming sooner than they think Gaia is calling to her children we must keep our hope visit the dreamtime it is for our survival the others will be lost and not see for their hearts are covered with their hatred and foolishness we must reestablish the union for a mother never forgets her children even after years of separation it has been said that a mother can recognize the smell of her child the Earth has not turned from us we have. |

Not sure if you mean United states or Australia but I assume Australia and the indigenous people are the aborigines. |
They are an ancient society that now live in the bush. Prone to regarding the earth and it's environment as a source of animated energy. Pretty much oppressed by the early settlers of Australia and retreated deeper into the bush to get away the aborigines tend to be found in inner Australia. They are usually dark skinned with dark hair. |

They practice zoroastrianism and they show great respect for nature. They coexisted with the natural world unlike the imposing europeans who destroyed traditional native life. One of the most prominent instruments in native american culture is the wooden flute. This flute was designed to mimic the sounds of nature. |

Native Americans as we call them make up thousands of different tribes. Larger tribes include the Sioux Cherokee Navajo etc. |
They originally migrated from Asia across the Bering Strait. They spread and thrived in the Americas for thousands of years forming many rich and diverse cultures. |

Native Americans lived throughout the United States until post-European colonization forced the natives to live only in certain areas in the US. this destroyed the cultures of some tribes as they were removed from their home lands though many cultures still survive today. |
