Coloring Page: Exploring Native American Art at the MSV!

Did You Know?Historians and scientists have foundevidence to show that people have beenliving in Virginia for up to 20,000 years.Some of those who trace theirancestors to the earliest people living inAmerica call themselves “NativeAmericans.” Others go by the term“American Indian.” When ChristopherColumbus landed in the “New World”in 1492, he mistakenly thought he’dreached Asia, specifically India. (Heactually landed in the CaribbeanIslands.) He referred to the people hecame into contact with as “Indians.”e term “American Indian” becamecommon and is the official term usedby the U.S. government to describe

the first people on this continent and their descendants. AmericanIndians called the Shenandoah Valley home long before the firstEuropean set foot on its soil.ere are 11 Native American Tribes in Virginia that are officiallyrecognized today. Hundreds of years ago, Native Americans inVirginia lived mostly along waterways in the eastern half of the statebetween Richmond and Virginia Beach.
