The Indians spoke different languages in each tribe. The chief of each tribe wore a head dress made up of colourful feathers, other Indians in the tribe wore feathers depending upon their status.
Their weapons included bows, arrows and small axes called Tomahawks. When the Europeans arrived the Indians lost most of their tribal lands.
