Native American cultures

Native American cultures encompass diverse Indigenous peoples across North America, each with unique languages, traditions, ceremonies, and histories. They have deep connections to land, nature, and spirituality, often expressing these through art, storytelling, and rituals. These cultures have contributed significantly to the United States’ heritage through their innovations, knowledge, and values. Despite centuries of colonization and adversity, many Native communities continue to preserve and revitalize their cultural practices, fostering resilience and identity. Recognizing this diversity is key to understanding their ongoing influence and the importance of respecting their sovereignty and heritage.
