Answer 1

Answer: The Pueblo, who lived in the Southwest, built large, planned villages of multistoried buildings. As farmers, they constructed irrigation canals and terraces for their crops. They were skilled potters and weavers as well. While Northwest Coast native people also lived in villages of several hundred, they did not farm, but instead depended upon fish for their survival. A third culture group, the Mound Builders who lived in the Mississippi Valley, like the Pueblo constructed large villages. They developed an extensive trading network that linked native people from across the continent.

Answer 2

Answer: Successors to the Olmec and Toltec civilizations of Mesoamerica, the Aztecs built a powerful empire between the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries. Skilled warriors, they succeeded in taking control of central Mexico and demanded tribute from the people they conquered. They established a capital city, Tenochtitlan, which dazzled the Spanish when they arrived in the sixteenth century.

Answer 3

Answer: Nomadic bands from Siberia in search of big-game animals migrated across a land bridge to Alaska between 25,000 and 14,000 years ago and began to disperse southward and eastward. As time passed and population increased, these earliest inhabitants of America evolved into separate cultures. Archaeologists and anthropologists have charted several phases of Native American history, noting the development of improved technology, the decline of nomadism, the agricultural revolution, and the consequent evolution of greater social and political complexity.
