Middle American Indian Peoples

These include Meso-American Indians, Caribbean, and Southwest American peoples.

   

Meso-American peoples

These are found principally in Mexico and immediately neighboring countries. They include tribes and langauge groups such as the Amuzgo, Chontel (Oaxaca, Tabasco), Maya (Cakchiquel, Ch'ol, Itza, Yucatan), Matlazinca, Mixe, Mixtec, Nahuatl/Aztec, Pipel, Popoluca, Tlahuica, Toltec, Zapotec, and Zoque.

Caribbean peoples

These are found in Southern Central America and in the Caribbean Islands. These include the Arawak, Bogota, Boruca, Bribri, Buglere, Cabecar, Carib, Caquetio, Changuena, Corobici, Cueva, Cuna, Dorasque, Garifuna, Guajiro, Guaymi, Huetar, Inyeri, Island Carib, Maleku, Miskito, Paraujano, Pech, Rama, Shebayo, Taino, Teribe, and Voto tribes.

Southwest American peoples

These are found in Mexico and the Southwest United States. Apache, Navajo, Havasupai, Hualapai, Yavapai, Maricopa, Pima Bajo, Mojave, Akimel O'odham (Pima), O'odham (Papago), Hopi, Pueblo, Yaqui, Zuni, Huichol, Karankawa, Mayo, Opata, Quechan, Seri, Tarahumara, Tepehuan, Tohono, Tubar, Cocopa, Cora, and Guarijio tribes are included.


History is so far poorly developed. Little is known of these in prehistory, except that the area was peopled and civiliation and culture were developing. Little is also known of antiquity in what is now Mexico including the 5th millennium BC, 4th millennium BC, 3rd millennium BC, 2nd millennium BC, and early first millenium BC except that a major civilization, called the Olmecs was present.

In classical and medieval times, various peoples have been identified. I do not yet have details for early classical times including events of what is now Mexico, late classical times including events of what is now Mexico, early medieval times including events of Mexico including the 6th century CE, 7th century CE, 8th century CE, 9th century CE, and 10th Century CE. I also lack information on late medieval times, including events of Mexico in the 11th century, 12th century, 13th century, and 14th century. For the 15th century, I do not yet have details of the Southwestern American Indian peoples in what is now the Southwestern United States.

In modern times, these peoples have been subjugated and partly absorbed into Western civilization. Many of the details are associated with the history of Mexico, Guatemala, and Cuba. The 16th century, including the conquest of Mexico can be examined. I do not yet have details for the early 16th century, the early mid 16th century, the mid 16th century, the late-mid 16th century, or the late 16th century. The 17th century and 18th century can be considered. In the 19th century, their ancient cities in Mexico were being explored and rediscovered. Details of the early 19th century, early-mid 19th century, mid 19th century, late-mid 19th century, and late 19th century are not yet present. In the 20th century, some of their history in Mexico can be considered. Details of the early 20th century, early mid 20th century, mid 20th century, late-mid 20th century, and late 20th century including events of Mexico are obscure. Events of the early 21st century are submerged, largely in Mexico. The early 2000s and late 2000s including 2006 and 2007 are important. Events of 2008 including the first quarter, second quarter, third quarter, and fourth quarter can be considered.

Their future including the near future, middle future, and far future is obscure.

Other areas of sociology are important. There are connections with other peoples including particular nations. These include:

Other nations such as the United States are more distantly connected. These are connected to other American Indian peoples and have been heavily influenced by Western Civilization. There are also connections to Asiatic peoples and African peoples. Communities and social structure and change are important.

Institutions including religion, government, economics, education, and families are also important. Culture including material culture, conceptual culture, and behavioral culture will also be connected. Anthropology including social foundations, demography, physical anthropology, human ecology, human geography, and particular groups can be connected. Personal studies including the human body, psychology, and biography can be connected. Connections to science will be considered in more detail as the site develops.
