When the first Europeans came to the North American continent, they
encountered the completely new cultures of the Native American. Peoples
of North America, Native Americans, who had highly developed cultures in
many respects, must have been as curious about them. As always happens
when two or more cultures come into contact, there was a cultural
exchange. Native Americans adopted some of the Europeans? ways, and the
Europeans adopted some of their ways. As a result, Native Americans have
