Indians of North America

There was a time, more than 30.000 years ago, when Indians did not live in North America at all. They moved from Asia to North America by crossing the Bering Strait. Before the arrival of Columbus, the Indians had primitive ways of living. However, the Aztecs, the Mayas and the Incas had very advanced civilizations.
