Before Europeans discovered America's shores, Native Americans built societies out of the rugged beauty of this continent. They crafted tribes, federations, customs, families. They cultivated and hunted on the land. They followed their own religion that tied them to the land and to one another. And then the white men came. By the twentieth century, Native Americans -- once stewards of an entire continent -- were left with less than five percent of the nation's land. Since the arrival of white settlers, only 6% of the Native American population remained.
