Native Americans were the first indigenous people to live in North America for thousands of years before the arrival of Europeans. They cultivated plants, hunted animals, established communities and developed intricate systems of religious belief. There were a lot of tribes such as Apache, Cherokee, Choctaw, Dakota, Hopi, Navajo, Ottawa, Ute and Zuni to mention a few. They prospered on the land of North America by living in peace and harmony with the nature. But with the European invasion, things took an ugly turn. Natives were devastated by the epidemic spread of diseases that the Europeans brought with them, which included measles, smallpox and yellow fever. It was followed by slavery, massive killing and more tortures. Forced removal of indigenous people, known as ‘Trail of Tears’ remain as a tragic moment in the native american indian history. Choctaws, one of the Five Civilized Tribes were the first to walk the Trail of Tears. Currently, major population of Choctaws resides in the city of Oklahoma.
