American Indian tribes

American Indian tribes are diverse Indigenous groups native to North America, each with unique cultures, languages, histories, and traditions. They have traditionally lived off the land through hunting, farming, and fishing, developing rich societies long before European contact. Today, tribes maintain their cultural identities, often through language, ceremonies, and governance, while also participating in the broader American society. Recognized tribes are sovereign entities with federal and state relationships, and many work to preserve their heritage and rights. Understanding tribes involves appreciating their diversity, history, and ongoing contributions to American culture and society.
