Indigenous peoples of the Americas

Ethnic group

The Indigenous peoples of the Americas are diverse groups native to a specific region, who inhabited the Americas in the pre-Columbian era, before the arrival of European settlers in the 15th century, as well as the ethnic groups who continue to identify with those peoples. These populations exhibit significant diversity; some Indigenous peoples were historically hunter-gatherers, while others practiced agriculture and aquaculture. Various Indigenous societies developed complex social structures, including pre-contact monumental architecture, organized cities, city-states, chiefdoms, states, kingdoms, republics, confederacies, and empires. These societies possessed varying levels of knowledge in fields such as engineering, architecture, mathematics, astronomy, writing, physics, medicine, agriculture, irrigation, geology, mining, metallurgy, sculpture, and goldsmithing.
