The migrants entered a new world in which there were no people at all. But there were many animals to hunt, and there were forests where nuts, roots, and berries could be gathered.

When the Europeans came to the New World, the Indians, at first, taught the settlers how to plant corn, bake fish, make canoes, and smoke tobacco.

Now, some of them, embittered by mistreatment, are determined to preserve their tribal life; some wish to modernize the reservations.
