Native Americans

They built giant earthworks that of nobody knew what the are there for.

Years later, hunters came to war with there stone tipped spears and killed at least half of the Native Americans, the hunters took all the fruit, and crop.

More-recent people used bronze and copper. Scientists have discovered copper axes, engraved copper, and shell artifacts.

Before the Europeans came, Georgia was home to a lot of Native American tribes.

Landmarks in my state One famous landmark

in Georgia is the chieftains trail, it shows people what life is like during a war. There is a museum in Georgia called the high museum of art, the museum holds only African and American art, and kids can use maps with interesting clues to go on treasure hunts.
