What are facts about the paleo Indians tribe?

Answer 1

Ten facts about Palaeo-Indians:

1. We do not know what languages they spoke, what they called themselves, their tribal designations or any personal names.
2. They hunted mastodons, mammoths, giant elk, giant beaver, musk oxen, very small prehistoric horses and tapirs. All gradually became extinct, but not necessarily because of hunting.
3. Their weapons were spears and knives of flint, with scrapers of flint for butchering and skinning animals. Bone and wood were also likely used for tools, but none have survived.
4. Stone tools are often the only evidence today that Palaeo-Indians occupied a particular area.
5. They were nomadic hunters without any permanent settlements.
6. They certainly made and used dugout canoes (although none survive) - they paddled across Long Island Sound to reach areas where camps have been identified.
7. Meat was roasted over an open hearth - no stonefireplaces have been found.
8. They carried flint with them over long distances to produce blades as required. The flint discovered at their sites in Connecticut and Massachusetts originated in the Mohawk and Hudson River valleys in New York State.
9. Shelters were small, temporary domed structures covered with brush or hides.
10. Palaeo-Indians had no bows or arrows - these had not yet been invented in the Americas.
