Europeans called the Americas “the New World.” But for the millions of Native Americans they encountered, it was anything but. Humans have lived in the Americas for over ten thousand years. Dynamic and diverse, they spoke hundreds of languages and created thousands of distinct cultures. Native Americans built settled communities and followed seasonal migration patterns, maintained peace through alliances and warred with their neighbors, and developed self-sufficient economies and maintained vast trade networks. They cultivated distinct art forms and spiritual values. | Europeans called the Americas “the New World.” But for the millions of Native Americans they encountered, it was anything but.

This review examines five key research foci: culture change and identity, missionization, bioarchaeology, economics, and investigations of the colonial core. | |||
