  Artcom Museums Tour: Amerind Foundation Museum, Dragoon, AZ
The Amerind pursues a policy of scientific research as the obvious means for increasing our knowledge of the cultures of the Americas.
Amerind firmly believes that the resultant findings (of scientific inquiry) should be widely disseminated to both the scholarly community and the general public through a variety of activities, displays, and publications.
The Amerind is committed to interpreting this diversity in both the archaeological and ethnographic context to create a better understanding among peoples of contrasting cultural backgrounds.

It is possible that the literary mode of the Amerind epics has been influenced by the native choice of story interest.
While all of the longer poems begin with the creation of the world and purport to record the early wanderings of the tribe and its subsequent history, there is a notable lack of the warrior themes that occupy the epics of the old world.

 The Seventh Great Race War: The Amerinds
As there were only 400,000 Amerinds in the entire North American continent around 1850, the belief that reservations would protect the Amerinds, was not far fetched at all, and in real terms the land so set aside for the Amerinds was significant, given the numbers that were under consideration.
Amerind tribal lands lost during the allotment era were repurchased by the American government and the tribes were encouraged to set up their own governments in the restored semi-independent regions.
The Amerind population has, through a process of natural increase and absorption of a significant number of Whites, gradually increased: by the end of the 20th century, it stood at over two million, the highest number ever in that group's entire existence.

It is not, however, the significance of Amerind literature to the social life of the people which interests us.
The permanent worth of song and epic, folk-tale and drama, aside from its intrinsic literary quality, is its revelation of the power of the American landscape to influence form, and the expressiveness of democratic living in native measures.

As with the Aztecs, certain aspects of the Southern Amerind culture were regarded with revulsion by the Whites: the human sacrifices to the Amerind gods was a habit which was made particular note of in accounts of Amerind life sent back to Europe.
The contact with the Amerind tribes in the coastal areas of Southern America had been enough to make the Spanish realize that the Inca civilization was advanced and possibly wealthy - the Aztec example in Central America served as an indication that greater riches lay deeper in the interior, just waiting to be discovered.
Although there were relatively few Amerinds in the region when it was first settled, there were however enough nomadic tribesmen to give the first White settlement at what later became Buenos Aries enough problems for the town to be abandoned five years after it had been established in 1536.

In addition, in accordance with its by-laws, Amerind reimbursed Defendant for his out-of-pocket expenses incurred in traveling to the board meetings.
Defendant contends that the Government's superseding indictment was incompatible with its proof at trial because the indictment charged a scheme to obtain property by false or fraudulent representations, but the proof concerned a scheme or artifice to defraud.
In addition, although Defendant does not claim that the indictment was insufficient as the term is traditionally used, we rely on this concept to further establish the validity of the indictment.

 Amerind languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In addition to its use by social scientists to refer (broadly) to the various indigenous languages of The Americas, the term Amerind languages may controversially refer to one of the three families in Joseph Greenberg's classification of all Native American languages—the other two being Na-Dene and Eskimo-Aleut.
Most modern linguists agree, however, that there is not enough evidence to theorize a single Amerind language family, and instead classify these languages into many smaller families.
"An even more encompassing scheme was proposed by Joseph Greenberg, which classified all of the languages of the Americas into just three genetic groups: Eskimo-Aleut, Na-Dene (Athabaskan-Eyak-Tlingit plus Haida), and Amerind (all other languages of North, Central, and South America).
