Journal 1 Native American Culture

Well there is a good amount of information that I know about Native American culture. One major thing is that they basically revolutionized the farming industry. They created a lot tools that are still used today; although today's technology is a lot better as it has been innovated over the years, but the basis for the tools is still the same. They also created a lot of irrigation systems to aid in their farming. They started out as a nomadic people but over time a lot of the peoples made settlements. This caused the development of different government systems. Along with new governments in the civilizations social classes started to form. While the Native Americans were very good at farming it seems that they were very bad at staying alive. Many of the many of the major civilizations seems to have just disappeared after being settled for a while. Not that these civilizations were under bad circumstances, because they were all excellent and prosperous as a whole. It remains a mystery to historians as to why these groups seemed to have just vanished. Personally I think that they were most likely destroyed or abducted by an alien organization called "The Alien." This is the only reasonable explanation that I can come up with. Another thing I know is that one of the groups of Native Americans is that they were quite good at making calendars. The Mayan’s were a group that made a pretty good calendar. Apparently it is ending in a couple years and that this is going to mark the beginning of the end of times, or Armageddon or the Apocalypse. This seems like a bogus claim to me, but the Native Americans were pretty good at basically everything else they did so maybe we should listen to the theories about this. Well there you go, that is pretty much what I know about Native Americans basically because I learned that all in American History this morning.
