Question: Before European contact, did the Indians have a name for the land they lived on!?
As in, there was Europe and Asia, etc!.;before it was the 'New World' or 'America', what was it called!? Did they even have a name for it, or did they simply exist on it (like I'm assuming they did just because I can't imagine them caring about something so trivial as that)!.

But anyways, I was just wondering!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
