II. The First AmericansA. The Settling of America
• 1. The first Americans were bands of hunters and fishers who had migrated by land over the Bering Strait via a land bridge or by sea anywhere from 15,000 to 60,000 years ago, some reaching the southern tip of South America perhaps 11,000 years ago.
• 2. Others may have arrived by sea from Asia or the Pacific Islands.
• 3. About 14,000 years ago, at the end of the last Ice Age, the glaciers melted, and the land bridge became submerged, cutting off the Western Hemisphere from Asia.

II. The First AmericansE. Indians of Eastern North America
• 1. Indian tribes living in the eastern part of North America sustained themselves with a diet of corn, squash, and beans and supplemented it by fishing and hunting.
• 2. Tribes frequently warred with one another; however, there were also many loose alliances.
• 3. Indians saw themselves as one group among many; the sheer diversity seen by Europeans upon their arrival astonished them.

-As Europeans ventured across the Atlantic, they began to document the unique cultures and lifestyles of the native peoples. John White, an Englishman, first came to the New World in 1585, and created drawings of Indians, one which was “Indian Village of Secotan.”
Study the drawings on pp. 4-5, 12, 16 of your textbook (3rd ed.) and, in a well-constructed paragraph, answer the following question about one of the images:
“What do John White’s drawings tell us about the Eastern Woodland Secotan tribe?”
