Native American tribes (e.g., Secotan)

Native American tribes, such as the Secotan, are indigenous peoples who have inhabited North America for thousands of years. Each tribe has its own distinct languages, cultures, traditions, and social structures. They traditionally relied on hunting, fishing, farming, and gathering for sustenance, developing rich spiritual and artistic practices. The Secotan, specifically, were a coastal tribe in what is now North Carolina, known for their interactions with early European explorers. Today, Native tribes maintain their cultural heritage, often advocating for recognition, preserving traditions, and addressing social and political issues impacting their communities.
