CENTRAL AMERICAN TRIBES:
Tai·nos (tìno) noun plural Taino or Tai·nos are members of an Arawak people of the Greater Antilles and the Bahamas who became extinct under Spanish colonization during the 16th century.

The Chorotegas from Nicaragua, northern Costa Rica and southern Honduras were an ancient civilization that developed high skills in pottery and rock carving.

Olmecs settled (1500 B.C.) on the Gulf coast of Mexico and soon developed the first civilization in the western hemisphere. Temple cities and huge stone sculpture date from 1200 B.C.

Mayas. 1 a. A member of a Mesoamerican Indian people inhabiting southeast Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize, whose civilization reached its height around A.D. 300-900.

Toltecs (Nahuatl, = master builders), was an indigenous civilization of Mexico, probably with ancient links to the Mixtec and Zapotec. The Toltec warrior aristocracy gained ascendancy in the valley of Mexico after the fall (900) of Teotihuacán, making their own capital at Tollán (Tula).

Teotihuacán, was an ancient commercial and religious center, 30 mi (48 km) NE of Mexico City, of an influential civilization that flourished between A.D. 300 and 900.

Mixtecs, are indigenous people of SW Mexico who speak a language of the Otomian stock. Important from ancient times, the Mixtec seem to have had an advanced culture before the coming of the Toltec. They began spreading southward about 900 and by the 14th cent. overshadowed their rivals the Zapotec.

Totonac, Cempoala center was the first city visited by Cortéz and his party on their expedition to the Aztec Empire.

The Huichols are a hearty and enduring people numbering about 18,000, most of which live in the Jalisco and Nayarit, two rugged and mountainous states in North Central Mexico.

The Tarahumara Indians inhabit the Sierra Madre Mountains of the State of Chihuahua in Northwest Mexico.

Otomí, or Hña-hñu, people make up the fifth largest indigenous ethnic group in Mexico.

COLONIZATION:
Mayans: Spanish 900-1500 AD
Incans: Spanish 1532-1535 AD
Aztecs: Spanish 1521 AD
Cherokee: Ameriacans (Georgia) 1838-39 AD
Inuit: European/Russian 1500 AD

The Spanards and the British. Possibly the French as well.

Incans and Mayan were South American in Pre-Colonized Columbia (South America). Aztecs were Central America. It should say so on page x of your Social Studies textbook.

The Aztecs, Incans and Mayans were Central American tribes. The Cherokee lived in North America and the Inuit lived in the north near the Arctic.
