Answer 1

Oh geesh, you're kidding right? People have written entire books just on one tribe/nation covering all of those topics and you would like to cover all of the Americas?

Native Americans came primarily from Siberia across the Bering Sea land bridge. There is some information now that they also came to a lesser degree and in lesser numbers from Europe.

They expanded down the Americas but may have also met Natives who came from Polynesia as well.

During the time period you suggest, the Mayans were the largest initial group in Central America, taking over from the Olmec and Toltec. When they weakened the Aztecs took greater control.

In the American southwest, a group called the Anasazi (the old ones) were making cliff dwellings and large villages and cities even, but as climate changed they gave way to the modern nations and tribes we know today.

I was born on between 19th February, but i find that the Otter describes me better, but i was born on 1 AM so i am on the cusp between 18 and 19! The wolf describes me when i was younger (when i was younger i felt like a Pisces more)
