A few days after Xia Xue landed in North America, she slowly encountered many local Indians. Most of these ancient peoples, dressed in animal skins, painted with oil paint on their faces, and with feathers on their heads, are still friendly and kind, and they are very simple and down-to-earth. The Indians first looked at Xia Xue and them strangely, and then communicated with Xia Xue and them in a language they didn't understand.

Xia Xue gave them some salt, porcelain, glass mirrors and other gifts, they liked it very much, and then gave Xia Xue a lot of meat, corn, potatoes and other foods.

After further understanding, Xia Xue found that most of the local indigenous Indians still lived a primitive tribal life, and there was no country with a higher degree of organization, and hunting weapons and production tools were also very backward, most of them were stone tools, and there were no horses, which was very backward.

She slowly made a group of local Indian friends with the use of table salt, and also learned many Indian customs.

Xia Xue found that every Indian had at least three names in his life. The first name is a milk name, which is used for life memorization. For example, when a North American Indian was born, the midwife had to go down to the river to fetch some water to bathe the baby. If she comes back and says she heard a wolf howling on the other side of the river, the baby's mother will say, "Well, let's call our baby 'Wolf Howl in the Night'." ”

Each Indian had to keep his name until he could earn a name for himself. However, his friends will also give him a name, whatever his parents call him, his childhood friends will love to use their names, which are usually not flattering, such as "bent legs", "mad dog", "crooked nose", "rotten boy" or "wolf tail", etc.

The official name of the Indians was given after they were able to fight the enemy for the first time. An Indian's lifelong name depends on how well he fought in his first battle, and when he returned from the battle, all the people gathered together for the ceremony in which the chief gave him the name of his clan. If he wins, he gets a good name, which can be called "Killer of the Six", "Tiger", "Sai Qun", etc., and conversely, people call him "Bad Seed", "Soft Egg", "Old Woman", etc., so an Indian name is his own file and description. Therefore, the Indians were very brave, very hard, very desperate in the first battle, and no one wanted to give themselves a shameful name.

Of course, an Indian has many opportunities in his life to improve his reputation, and if he is brave in a later battle, he will also get a better name. Some fighters have as many as twelve names, and each one is louder than the other.

All the names of an individual Indian are to be used only by him for the rest of his life, and not to be reused by others, not even by himself, because they are given by the tribe and not by the family, and therefore no one is allowed to transfer his name unless the chief and the tribe ask him to do so. Sometimes, an Indian is instructed to pass on his name to his accomplished sons. Misappropriation of their father's name is the highest honor for sons, and sons often have to "earn" their own names. Because of this, an older Indian would never say his name to you, and he would turn to a third person and nod his head for him to speak. They were too modest to mention their exploits in battle, and they never showed off their bravery by mentioning their names in public.

The clothing decoration of the Indians is very simple, most of the clothes are made of animal skins, cowhides, sheepskins, etc., and even do not wear clothes, and generally like to wear headdresses and eagle feather crowns. The Indians used the feather as a symbol of bravery, a sign of honor, and the possession of a bird feather symbolized bravery, beauty and wealth.

Some of the Indians lived in caves, and some built huts out of grass and mud; Some used stone and adobe to build various houses; The Indians, who lived by hunting, used animal skins to build roofs; The most important feature of these forms of dwelling is that they do not have vaults, because the Indians do not know about vaults.

Most of the houses were very simple, for example, some Indians carved a flat field in the woods, fixed thick branches to the ground one by one, formed a large circle, and put the large leaves of palm trees on top of it, and the house was roughly built.

Xia Xue found that the marriage customs of the Indians were very unique and had a strong national color.

The wedding ceremony was often held in an Indian settlement. When the wedding is held, relatives and friends, neighbors, and residents of the village come to the settlement one after another, and everyone sits on the ground and greets each other. Although the Indians were cheerful, they were very quiet at weddings, and even when they spoke, they were soft-spoken.

Marriage among the Indians was simple, and when it came to union, only the consent of the parents was required.

The wealth of the Indians was not measured by property, the richest men were the most capable hunters, and the dowry of women was a healthy body and a willingness to assist their husbands in household chores. When they are not in harmony and do not want to live together anymore, they can break up with a ceremony as simple as marriage, and there is no problem with the division of property.

There was no clear distinction between unmarried and married couples among Indians, and chastity was not considered a basic moral standard.

In some families, when the head or woman dies, their children sometimes recognize their parents' former friends as their parents.

In some tribes of the Indians, such as the Xingu tribe, polygamy was allowed, because one more wife meant one more "union representative," and one more laborer. A man may marry two or more sisters from a family or a woman from another tribe, and wives in polygamous families are proud and proud of their efforts to expand their husband's authority and status.

Sometimes, for the sake of family harmony, the wife can suggest that her husband marry such and such a woman and act as the "matchmaker" of the "husband".

took the initiative to hook up with the "little three" for her husband, and felt very proud and proud, Xia Xue was stunned again. It seems that words such as "vinegar jar", "jealous", and "Hedong lion's roar" are incomprehensible to the women of these Indian tribes.

Some Indian tribes, such as the Black Hawk tribe, have learned some agricultural cultivation and will grow corn, beans, potatoes, sweet potatoes (a.k.a. sweet potatoes), etc.

When the Indians cooked, they used coarse-textured clay pots, stone bowls, wooden spoons, etc. When someone is sick, they gather herbs, light them and smoke them, or make soup to bathe them.

They made utensils out of clay and flint and obsidian into various tools and weapons, which were basically stone tools, such as grooved stone axes and stone hammers.

The Indians believed in "animism", they revered nature, and revered every plant, tree, mountain and stone in the natural world. There are the god of rain (called Chuck), the god of grains, the god of death, the god of war, the god of the northern stars, the god of wind, and the god of the four directions, among others. The supreme god is the sun god Itsana – the emperor of the gods, the embodiment of God, the lord of "day" and "night". Believe that the soul is immortal.

The Aztecs in the Indians believed in the immortality of the soul and the idea that a supreme lord ruled over all. They believe that the world has gone through four stages of development, each ruled by a different deity. The universe is shaped like a cross, with a furnace in the center, and the underground world is covered by layers from nine to thirteen layers of heaven. The entire universe is surrounded by water, which is held by the hands of the high god Omad Kutli (meaning the two masters). This god is a man and a woman, and has the dual nature of life and life.
