LAND AND PEOPLE
"North America is a vast and varied land, with high mountains, salty deserts, dense forests, and swamps. The climate varies, too, from icy cold in the Arctic north to blazing heat in the south.
One Land, Many Nations
For thousands of years, this land has been home to almost three hundred Native nations, each with its own way of life, customs, traditions, and beliefs."
