Book Description Hard Back. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dust Jacket. First Edition. 64 Pages Indexed. As new book. No marks. The towering temples and fierce warriors of the Aztecs, the sophisticated lords of the Maya, and the vast empire of the Inca that extended along the Andes are all images that come, to mind when the native cultures of Mexico, Central America, and South America are mentioned. While these images are real, they are only a small part of the story of the indigenous peoples of the Americas. More important, there are hundreds of other cultures that are not as well known, but just as interesting. To explore the cultures of this huge area is to examine the great diversity and richness of humanity in the Americas. This series on Native Latin American Cultures presents six books, each with a major theme: the arts, daily customs, spirituality, trade, tribal rules, and the invasion by Europeans. It focuses mainly on pre-Columbian times (before the arrival of Columbus in the New World) through about 1800. These books illustrate the ingenuity, resourcefulness, and unique characters of many cultures. While a variety of tribes share similarities, many are extremely different from' one another. It is important to remember that the Americas were home to people long before Europeans arrived. Archaeologists have uncovered sites as old as 12,000 years. Over the years, human cultures in every part of the Americas developed and evolved. Contents in Six Chapters: Northwestern Mexico, The Central Valley and the Gulf Coast of Mexico, Southwestern Mexico, The Caribbean, The Amazon Basin and The Andes. Seller Inventory # 20576
