The Native Americans enjoyed music. They played drums and wooden flutes. Dancing was important to their culture, too. When the weather was too hot and dry, they would come together for a ‘rain dance’, which they believed made the rain fall.

Native Americans did not travel on horseback until the 1600s, when Europeans brought over horses on ships. Before this, Native Americans did not travel. They sent messages to each other from far away by using smoke signals. They used this system to communicate with people up to 50 miles away!

Today, there are only around five million Native Americans living in the United States. Although they have a more modern lifestyle, they still try to keep their traditions alive.
