INDIANS
Some lived in big log cabins, some lived in tepees and some lived in big huts. In the salmon season they caught and smoked salmon. They hunted whales. When it snowed they made sleds and toboggans and slid down the hills. They had special bags that they hung their babies in from the trees.

The Mayan civilization lasted from 3000 BC - 1400 AD.
They had lots of gods (166).
They sacrificed people in open caves that had filled up with water and those who survived would become the chief.
