    The term “Native American” doesn’t just refer to just North American Indians, but South American and Mesoamericans too. What’s interesting, though, is how many similarities the three regions’ various cultures share. In North and Mesoamerican native cultures, the people built earthen mounds, for both religious and burial purposes, as well as a show of power. In North America they were built sometimes as just a plain, earthen mound while in some areas they were built in animal designs. In Mesoamerica they were created to resemble mountains and volcanoes, and were also adorned with colored clays to help create the effect. In South America they didn’t create earthen mounds, but they did create gigantic earth drawings made out of lines in the ground…

    Throughout the first chapter, what I found most interesting were the relationships and differences between the newly arrived aliens and the natives of what is now the United States. The two recognized each other as of the same species, but most of the communication efforts between the two were futile. The language of the new comers differed significantly. They had an oral dialogue and written communication, which the natives understood nothing of. I find it most interesting, because I have ancestors that trace back to both the natives and the new comers.…

    When most of us that live in the United States especially those of us who live in the lower forty-eight things about Native Alaskans we think of the term Eskimos a term most of us learned about from watching movies that were made in Hollywood. This assumption, however, is most likely wrong due to a lack of education or cultural awareness on our part. The Native Alaskan people are divided into distinct cultures. These cultures speak eleven different languages with twenty-two separate dialects (Alaska Native Heritage Center, 2011). Many of us assume that the Native Alaskans and Native American share a common or at least similar culture but that can also not be further from the truth. The truth is that they historically…
