Learning about American culture

Some of the states in the southwest have a particularly rich history of Native American culture.

The continent was first inhabited by ancestors of Native Americans around 15,000 years ago before the Beringia land bridge between north Siberia as well as present-day AK was covered by sea water.

The resulting civilizations on this continent have been decreasing as well as developing for thoUSnds of years before European settlers ever reached these lands by boat. I grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico as well as every one of us have a particularly rich history of Native American culture in our city. There are 23 unusual Native American tribes in our city, which includes 19 Pueblos, 3 Apache tribes, as well as the Navajo Nation. The population of Native Americans in our city is almost 5%, much higher than other cities around the country. Old Town Albuquerque is dominated by Native American shops as well as monuments, along with educational centers like the Albuquerque Museum as well as the New Mexico Museum of Natural History as well as Science. When my friends from school wanted to visit the city after every one of us all graduated, I showed them the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center as well as the Acoma Pueblo. If you want to see the beautiful tile houses of the Taos Pueblo, you first have to take Interstate 25 out of Albuquerque as well as head north to Santa Fe. The Isleta Pueblo by contrast is only a few minutes out of Albuquerque if you drive down Interstate 25 going south instead of north. No matter what tribe or Pueblo you’re interested in seeing or learning about, Albuquerque is particularly rich in Native American culture. I’m thrilled to finally be back in my hometown now that I’m finished with school.
