5th+Grade-Native+Civilizations

 This page contains information about resources on several cultures that are native to North and South America., excluding completely the Northeastern woodlands region. It is by no means representative of the vast array of different societies found in this hemisphere. I focussed on areas that were prominent in my background reading.
