America Before She Got Her Name
The Americas were inhabited by a variety of different people and groups for many centuries. Thriving in Central America, the Mayan and Aztec people grew into large empires during the Middle Ages. During the same time period the Incas established a complex civilization on the western coast of South America. In the northern and western parts of North America different nomadic tribes lived in wigwams. Notably, Eastern Indian tribes were more settled. They lived in longhouses. They lived by raising crops, hunting, and fishing. The land, inhabited for ages by a variety of peoples, was only “new” to Europeans.
This beautiful land, varied in landscape and vast in size, has sandy beaches, lofty mountains, arid deserts, and tropical rainforests. A quick look at a map, will show the land divided into two continents with a bridge of land linking them. Predictably, the continent to the North is called North America, and the continent to the South is called South America. Linking the two continents is a long narrow strip of land called Central America. Central America is bordered by both the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans. The varied landscape of this beautiful land has been enjoyed for centuries by its many inhabitants.
