American Toby Jug Museum 

American Indian toby jug produced by Schafer & Vater of Rudolstadt, Germany, circa 1925. Typically indigenous peoples of Canada and United States, Native American Indians are members of any of the aboriginal peoples of the Western Hemisphere, although the term often connotes only those groups whose original territories were in present-day Canada and the United States. The Native American was christened "Indian" by Christopher Columbus who thought he had reached India when he had in fact landed in America. The North American Indians are split into about 250 different tribes across Canada and the United States, each with its own language and way of life.
