Native Americans
The first people to live in a land are called indigenous peoples. Sometimes these peoples are referred to as Indians or American Indians. This is because when Columbus had first landed in America, he thought he had sailed all the way to the country of India.
Native Americans lived throughout North and South America. In the United States there were Native Americans in Alaska, Hawaii, and the mainland of the United States. In the middle of the country lived the Plains Indians, including tribes such as the Comanche and Arapaho. In the Southeast area of the country lived tribes such as the Cherokee and the Seminole.
The Native Americans were grouped into tribes or nations usually based on the area they lived in and their culture such as their religion, customs, and language. There were hundreds of tribes throughout the United States when Columbus first arrived. Many of them are well known such as the Cherokee, Apache, and the Navajo.

Спочатку давай вияснимо, скільки часу залишилося до екзамену – місяць, тиждень, три дні? У будь-якому разі не панікуй, для початку встань перед дзеркалом у позу впевненої у собі людини і тричі промов до себе: «Я зроблю це!»
Далі необхідно постаратися досягнути стану чистої свідомості, свого роду порожнечі, якби звільнити пам’ять для роботи,зосередитися на підготовці, і прибрати всі відволікальні фактори. І не плутай вміння не думати з невмінням думати. Тільки після такої підготовки можна переходити до процесу запам’ятовування інформації.
Найпоширеніша помилка у підготовці до іспиту – діяти за принципом «Проходжу всі білети». Залишені на останній день питання можуть виявитися найважчими, а ти поки дійдеш до них, то виб’єшся із сил і просто не зможеш їх осилити.
