Native Americans, also known as American Indians, First Americans, Indigenous Americans, and other terms, are the Indigenous peoples of the mainland United States. (Indigenous peoples of Hawaii, Alaska and territories of the United States are generally known by other terms). There are 574 federally recognized tribes living within the US, about half of which are associated with Indian reservations. As defined by the United States Census, "Native Americans" are Indigenous tribes that are originally from the contiguous United States, along with Alaska Natives. Indigenous peoples of the United States who are not listed as American Indian or Alaska Native include Native Hawaiians, Samoan Americans, and the Chamorro people. The US Census groups these peoples as "Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islanders".

The man who survived being scalped by Native American warriors, 1864
Robert McGee was an American man who was attacked by Native Americans when he was delivering supplies to an American army fort and survived to tell the tale.
This event is classically seen as a brutal time in American history, as white Americans began to push into native American territory, which saw fierce fighting as the Natives defended land that was their home territory.
Sad history, no doubt, but what would have the white men done if it happened to them?
