Deserts





Deserts
We have now had the opportunity to visit the 4 great deserts in the U.S. being: the Chihuahuan, Sonoran, Mojave and the Great Basin. The native Americans, who survived in these areas, were all able to do so with their hunting skills and eventually farming.
The thing that impressed us the most is that no matter where we visited the interpreters all indicated that these native Americans lived in peace. There were some communities where there were upward to 50,000 people inhabiting them. An archeologist found no evidence of any weapons. Until the Europeans introduced weapons, much later, no-one is certain where the original inhabitants eventually went to.
