Chapter 1 reading

While reading the first chapter I was surprised to learn so much about Native Americans. It was interesting to learn about what they have accomplished because people think of the Native Americans' lives solely revolving around agriculture or hunting and gathering. The chapter informed me of the empires they have built, their development of an accurate calendar, numerical system, and hieroglyphic writing and much more. The chapter also cleared the thought of Native Americans as just one big group, but rather there are multiple "groups" and each had their own distinct accomplishments and culture.
