The Native
American Indians were a perfect example of people living in a community, and
especially living off the land in perfect harmony with life.
The Native American Indians are a very important part of the
culture of The United States;
having lived on this land for thousands of years.
The men were hunters and warriors providing protection
and food for the women and children.
The women took care of the children as well, farmed and
were responsible for keeping everything in order in their homes.
The Indians ate natural food such as corn, beans, squash,
fruits, nuts and also hunted deer, buffalo and fished.
The Cherokee Indians were the largest of Five Tribes who
settled in the Southwest territory.
The Cherokees lived in cabins made of logs instead of
living in tee pees.
They were a very relgious and spriritual people.
When the American revolution started, the Cherokees
supported the British soldiers and even particpated in battles.
Today the largest population of Cherokee Indians live in
the state of Oklahoma.
The Blackfoot Indians lived in Montana and in Alberta,
Canada.
Like the Apache, the Blackfoot were also great warriors.
Their community was made up of between eighty to two hundred forty people.
Therefore, it was big enough to defend themselves, yet small
enough to move quickly if necessary.
The Blackfoot were nomadic because they followed the
herds of Buffalo.
During the winter the Blackfoot lived close to rivers and in Spring they would move out into the grasslands in search of food.
Nowadays, the Blackfoot Indians are mainly ranchers and farmers.
The Apache Indians came from The Aslaskan region, Canada
and some parts of the Southwestern United States.
It is said that they were one of the frist tribes to
learn how to ride horses, and in fact became experts in horseback riding.
As the
Apaches were defeated by the Comanche tribe, they were forced to move to New
Mexico and Arizona. They often fought battles against The Spaniards. After years
of fighting, a Spanish leader agreed to give them lands in Texas.
One famous and possibly the most powerful Native American Indian chief was Sitting Bull.
He was born in 1831 in South Dakota. Sitting Bull was a Teton Dakota Indian and chief of The Sioux tribes

LyricsTranslation by alan
It's strange to think Es extraño pensar the songs we used to sing las canciones que solíamos cantar The smiles, the flowers, Las sonrisas, las flores,
everything: is gone todo: se ha ido Yesterday I found out about you Ayer me enteré algo di ti Even now just looking at you: Incluso ahora mirándote
feels wrong algo va mal You say that you'd takeit all back, Dices que te retractarías de todo,
given one chance dada una oportunidad It was a moment of weakness Fue un momento de debilidad
and you said yes... y tu dijiste que si...
[Chorus:]
You should've said no, Deberías haber dicho que no,
you should've gone home Deberías haberte ido a casa You should've thought twice Deberías haberlo pensado dos veces
before you let it all go antes de que lo dejaras todo You should've known that word, Deberías haber sabido esa palabra,
about what you did with her lo que hiciste con ella Would get back to me... LLegaría a mis oidos And I should've been there, Y debería haber estado allí,
in the back of your mind en el fondo de tu mente I shouldn't be asking myself why No debería estar preguntándome porque You shouldn't bebegging for Deberías estarsuplicando
forgiveness at my feet... el perdón a mis pies You should've said no, Deberías haber dicho que no,
baby and you might still have me cariño que puede que aún me podrías tener
You can see that I've been crying Puedes ver que he estado llorando And baby you know Y cariño tu sabes
all the right things: to say todas las cosas adecuadas que decir But do you honestly Pero sinceramente
expect me to believe esperas que creas We could ever be the same... Que jamás podríamos ser los mismos You say that the past is the past, Dices que el pasado es el pasado,
you need one chance necesitas una oportunidad mas It was a moment of weakness Fue un momento de debilidad
and you said yes... Y tu dijiste que si
[Repeat Chorus]
You should've said no, " " "
you should've gone home You should've thought twice
before you let it all go You should've know that word,
about what you did with her Would get back to me... And I should've been there, " " "
in the back of your mind I shouldn't be asking myself why You shouldn't be begging for
forgiveness at my feet... You should've said no,
baby and you might still have me " " "
I can't resist... before you go, No me puedo resistir...antes de que te vayas
tell me this dime esto Was it worth it... Valió la pena... Was she worth this... Valió ella la pena
No... no no no...
[Repeat Chorus]
You should've said no, " " "
you should've gone home You should've thought twice
before you let it all go You should've know that word,
about what you did with her Would get back to me... And I should've been there, " " "
in the back of your mind I shouldn't be asking myself why You shouldn't be begging for
forgiveness at my feet... You should've said no, baby and you might still have me " " "
