Indian tribes inhabited Western lands long before other groups begin to venture into the territory, some since their ancestors crossed the Bering Straits 12.000-14.000 B.C. Others like the Cherokees and Creeks are forcible pushed westward from their homes in the Southeast. Forms of tribal organizations can be quite old like the Zunis; others result from contact with Europeans or are offshoots of the treaty process For a long time after the first contact with Europeans, Indian peoples remain independent. After the Civil War, the Plains Indians, a large and diverse group of tribes, collide with each other and the settlers who "intrude" upon their territory. The native populations find themselves and their way of life overwhelmed by the onslaught of settlers.
