Indians - the general name of the indigenous population of America (with the exception of the Eskimos and the Aleuts), given to them by the seaman Christopher Columbus, because he believed that the continent discovered by him - India.

It is believed that the Asian ancestors of the Indians moved to the territory of North America 60-35 thousand years ago under the existing at that time an isthmus between Siberia and Alaska, which sank into the ocean during the last glacial period.

For a long time anthropologists believed that the ancestors of American Indians should be sought in North-East Asia, that is, in present-day Siberia. However, recent studies of mitochondrial DNA show that Indians originate from Southeast Asia. On the other hand, the analysis of haloths on the Y chromosome confirms the proximity of the Indians to the peoples of Siberia. The researchers also found that the ancestors of Navajo, Apache and other Indians of the family have been subjected to later aliens. They penetrated the American continent with a second migration wave about 5-10 thousand years ago.

In North America, there were about 400 tribes of the Indians. They all spoke in different languages and did not have writing. However, in 1826, the leader of the Cherokee tribe - Sequoia (George Hess) created the Cherokee alphabet, and in 1828 began publishing the newspaper Cherokee Phoenix in the language of Cherokee. The steppe Indians used pictographic writing.
