North American Indigenous Cultures

North American Indigenous cultures encompass a diverse range of nations, tribes, and communities with rich histories, languages, traditions, and spiritual beliefs. These cultures have inhabited the continent for thousands of years, developing complex social structures, art, and sustainable ways of living closely connected to the land. Despite colonization and efforts to assimilate them, many Indigenous peoples continue to preserve and revitalize their cultural identity, practices, and languages. Their contributions significantly shaped North American history and continue to influence the social, political, and cultural landscape today.
