Paleomo Indains were werethe fist Indians there were in Missouri. Paleomo Indians did not have the bow and arrow so they used spears to hunt mammoths when the climate changed mammoths died so Indians hunted deer.

What We Have Learned
Native Americans use every part of buffalos. The river is called the river of life and the Missouri river was named after the Missouri tribe. St. Louis nickname was Mound City. The Osage tribe was the largest tribe. They were also very good horse back riders and were very tall and strong.
Archaeologists make a map before they dig. It is like a puzzle because they find different peices of things and they make a picture of what it was like long ago. Archaeologists always start with a question. That is all that I have learned so far.
