Overview:
The first way that native Americans got around
Was to put one
foot in front of the other on the ground.
Soon they began to use
the resources where they lived
Creating means of transportation
from what these resources had to give.
For instance, certain tribes
discovered that the bark of certain trees
Made lightweight canoes
that handle the water with ease.
Other groups tied poles together
in a special way
Creating the means to carry their belongings
each and every day.
Still others lived in regions where it was
very cold a lot
And so created ways to move their belongings from
spot to spot.
These are some examples of the genius and imagination
That native
Americans used in their quest of transportation.
