to "native" americans

Native Americans were exactly who they were, Native to the US before the Europeans came over. There were several tribes spread throughout the US, all with their own tribal rituals and beliefs. Most Americans have at least a quarter or an eight of Native American blood in them. My family's descendant tribe was the Ute tribe from Utah, hence the name. I am a quarter Native American, Mexican, German from my mom's side and Spanish from Spain. My mom told me on the German side her great great grandparents emigrated to the US from Germany and settled in Chicago Illinois and then her grandparents moved to San Francisco California after that.

Ok I was so confused at first, then I check your bio, and you are from Poland that makes since now. Well here in the US “Native Americans” are Indians originally from America. I am half American Indian and half Irish. My Irish family came from County Waterford Ireland about 80 years ago. My Indian half came from the state I now live in. I know about my family from word of mouth and stories past down from generation to generation. My Irish Grand parents still had their Irish accents. I loved to hear them talk. Interesting question!

The Southwest Native Americans come from the states of Arizona, New Mexico, ... Most of the Southwest Native Americans became farmers and lived in villages.

Native Americans come from all over and have reserves situated all over! I live in Canada and my reserve is Kinuso and i have a Cree Backgroud i do not think that we came from Europe and there are too many of us all over from dufferent tribes and backgrounds!
