NATIVE AMERICAN

NATIVE AMERICAN
Created by: * ChanChan Tupac, 2008-05-14 08:28:43

Here lie the cultures of the continent of the North America. From the cold and icy lands of the Inuit, down south to the Pueblo and Seminole tribes; from the Eastern Micmac to the Western tribes, here we learn about the North American natives: their art, their culture, their history, their linguistics, their folklore, their gods.

A wide variety of non-related cultural groups made their homes here.

Despite most tribes not having a written language, their culture and history was every bit as rich as that in lands of Central and South America. Please join us, as we explore the riches within rock art, the residues of ancient costumes, the fragments of broken peace pipes.

Welcome.
