Hopewell Interaction Sphere

The Hopewell Interaction Sphere was a network of interconnected social, economic, and ceremonial exchanges among various indigenous communities in North America, particularly around 200 BCE to 500 CE. These communities, known as Hopewell cultures, shared art, ideas, and goods over large areas through trade routes and shared traditions. This interconnected system fostered cultural continuity and cooperation, demonstrating how distant groups maintained relationships and exchanged valuable items like crafted tools, ornaments, and raw materials, much like a regional network of markets and cultural centers.
