	Population history of American indigenous peoples - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Indigenous populations in most areas of the Americas reached a low point by the early twentieth century, and in a number of cases started to climb again.
		When a population that has been relatively isolated is exposed to new diseases, it has no inborn resistance to the new diseases (the population is "biologically naïve"); this body of people succumbs at a much higher rate, resulting in what is known as a "virgin soil" epidemic.
		A controversial question relating to the population history of American indigenous peoples is whether or not the natives of the Americas were the victims of genocide.

	Indigenous peoples of the Americas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While many of these indigenous peoples retained a nomadic or semi-nomadic lifestyle until modern times, others lived in permanent villages and were primarily farmers, and in some regions they created large sedentary chiefdom polities, and even advanced state level societies with monumental architecture and large-scale, organized cities.
		In many cases, the indigenous peoples developed entirely new species from existing wild ones, as was the case in the domestication and breeding of maize from wild teosinte grasses in the valleys of southern Mexico.
		Indigenous nations include the Toba, Wichí, Mocoví, Pilagá, Chulupí, Diaguita-Calchaquí, Kolla, Guaraní (Tupí Guaraní and Avá Guaraní in the provinces of Jujuy and Salta, and Mbyá Guaraní in the province of Misiones), Chorote, Chané, Tapieté, Mapuche, Tehuelche and Selknam (Ona).

	Get to know the Hispanics around you
		The core of the Hispanic population in the U.S. didn't originally come to this country from afar as free agents, as other immigrants did, but were rather incorporated by a process of expansion and exploitation by what was a very race-conscious society.
		Thus the original Hispanic population shares with Native Americans and African Americans a history of domination and discrimination.
		There is strong evidence that the waves of Latin American immigration to the U.S. are closely tied to U.S. businesses' economic interests in, and U.S. governments' policy towards, their countries of origin and to the social and economic disruption for which they are in large measure responsible.
