Since the last Ice Age, each of the past chapters has demonstrated a long period of
indigenous people in their respective native lands. These early millennia constitute a silent
history that is firstly distinguishable from archaeological history. “When the first people arrived
near the end of the Pleistocene, North America truly was terra nullius, an empty land.”
(McMillan &Yellowhorn, 2004, p.315) From that point, they investigated and colonized strongly
as they extended all through North and South America. During a long time of land-asserting,
they made their social conventions as they met the difficulties of their surroundings. There was
no place in the Americas left empty and the idea of vacant land got arguable.
The indigenous people did not simply leave their ancient signature on the archeological
record; they likewise moved on to technological advancements such as kayaks that stay famous
in the modern world. Foods, entertainments and esthetics are examples of aboriginal culture
innovations that are also inserted in modern daily life. During the time that aboriginal people
start testing with plant domestication, for instance, they present in motion situations that offered
new methods of life unreachable by their hunting and gathering relatives. “The corn, beans and
squash they harvested from their fields and gardens are still vital ingredients in meals prepared in
the kitchens of the world.” (McMillan &Yellowhorn, 2004, p.315) Indigenous people have made
many beneficial influences on the modern world, however, accepting new methods has faced
extreme expenses. (McMillan &Yellowhorn, 2004)
