Native American Nations in the Southwest (Part IX)

♣

Arizona and New Mexico Native American nations were initially presented in Part VIII in this series. Thsi permits space for additional pictures and videos regarding those nations here to bridge the migration of native peoples across the American West and Southwest. Native Americans migrates eastward as they required additional food and agricultural lands and spread their communities through Texas and Oklahoma onward into the American Southeast. First Nations and Native Americans from Canada and the northern west in the USA migrasted east and south as well. As all of these nations and small groups - bands and pueblos and independent groups - moved eastward, then encountered the European explores and settlers. They also met incoming African slaves and peoples form the West Indies and intermixed with them, forming unique cultural segments of America in Metis groups and Creoles and other such interesting ethnicities.

These Southwest and Southeast cultures also gave rise to a number of culinary disciplnes that have become the basis of education for some of the great chefs of today in the southern USA.

The native cultures take on certain characteristics of the environment, climate and landscape as well as of nearby Spanish, Mexican, other European influences and the related cultures.
