In todays lecture Id like to talk about American Indians who are conside
39、red a people in crisis. Indians were the first Americans. They lived in North America long before the continent was settled by Europeans. Through a long and difficult struggle that continues to this day, the Indians have striven to preserve their traditions, their religion, and their culture. In thi
40、s they have shown great determination, continuing to hunt and fish or to manage small farms just as their ancestors did. But compared to other Americans, most Indians are poor. And this is their problem. Conditions which favored the old life are gone for ever, and yet many Indians are unable to adop
41、t the white mans ways. Now some of them are in trouble with the law. How did this trouble start? Who are the Indians? Where did they come from? Where do they live today? Why is it so difficult for them to assimilate?The American Indians are of Asian ancestry. Thousands of years before Columbus came
42、to the New World, they entered North America by crossing a narrow strip of land that once connected Alaska and Siberia. Ancient geological changes raised the level of the oceans covering this natural bridge with water. Today this place is called the Bering Strait. At its narrowest point, the Strait
43、is only 56 miles wide. In ancient times, as today, a crossing there, even by primitive boat, must have been comparatively easy.The migrants entered a new world in which there were no people at all. But there were many animals to hunt, and there were forests where nuts, roots, and berries could he ga
44、thered. Living comfortably on this food supply, the newcomers spread out. Some moved south into Central and South America. Others travelled east to the Atlantic Ocean. These migrations were gradual, probably taking thousands of years. Eventually, the people who became the American Indians had spread
45、 across North America.These migrants contained groups of quite different cultural ancestry. This is evident in the variety of languages they spoke. There are at least 200 separate Indian languages in North America, each with its own grammar and vocabulary. And none is related in any way to English o
46、r any other European language.The regions of North America where the newcomers lived varied greatly in climate mid food supply. In the plains and eastern forests where game was plentiful, the Indians hunted and fished. In the dry Southwest, they fanned. These regional differences explain the richnes
47、s and variety of Indian culture: dissimilar economics produced quite different systems of society.For instance, many Indians of the Southwest, such as the Hopi and the Zuni, were village Indians. They built mud brick houses and developed agriculture. Many of them learned to irrigate; others became expert dry farmers. They grew beans, corn and other vegetables. They made baskets, raised and wove cotton, and made beautiful pottery.The Sioux, on
