The material culture of Native American peoples.
Material Culture
One of the important aspects for all Native American peoples lies in the material culture, an expression not only of history, customs and traditions, but of the profound spirituality that each object represented for these wonderful cultures.
Each object is an expression of the ancient history, tradition and spirituality of the Native American peoples, an object is not simply an object, but something more. each artifact is the memory of these peoples, and in it resides part of the wonderful cultural expression of Native Americans. Having an object of the material culture of the Native American Peoples means being able also to begin to know more deeply the ancient history and philosophy of these peoples, who are also the natural protectors of a cultural message that goes beyond the object itself, a philosophical message which will allow you to appreciate the artefact and, with it, to make this ancient and original culture better understood and known which suffered the most tragic genocide, ecocide and ethnocide in the history of humanity.
