Answer to Question 1

When a less powerful society is able to preserve its major features even after prolonged contact with a dominant culture, accommodation is said to have taken place. An example of this would be with contemporary Mayans. While Mayan culture is a shadow of what it once was, they manage to persist and pass their culture along. Many indigenous groups in the Western Hemisphere resisted European domination by refusing to learn English, convert to Christianity, or fight in wars.
