Who lived in America before the Europeans arrived?

Great American Indian tribes such as the Navajo, Sioux, Cherokee, and Iroquois lived in America at the same time the Pilgrims arrived. The Pilgrims settled in an area where a tribe called the Wampanoag lived. The Wampanoag taught the Pilgrims important skills, such as how to farm with different methods and how to grow crops such as corn, beans, and squash.
