Write this in other words? In Renaissance times, Europeans were not the only ones accomplishing great things. There are 574 different Native American tribes, or "nations", recognized by the U.S. government today. Since 1492 , European explorers and settlers have tended to ignore the vast diversity of the people who had previously lived here. Native Americans in this way denies the vast cultural differences between tribes. First, there is the issue of language. The Navajo people of the Southwest and the Cherokees of the Southeast have totally unrelated languages.societies were ruled by men, but the Iroquois women chose the leaders. Native Americans lived in wigwams, hogans, igloos, tepees and longhouses. Some relied chiefly on hunting and fishing, while others domesticated crops.

During the Renaissance, Europeans were not the only ones achieving remarkable feats. Today, the U.S. government recognizes 574 distinct Native American tribes, or "nations." Since 1492, European explorers and settlers have often overlooked the rich diversity of the indigenous peoples who inhabited the land long before their arrival. This tendency to generalize Native Americans fails to acknowledge the significant cultural variations among different tribes. For instance, language is a key factor; the Navajo of the Southwest and the Cherokee of the Southeast speak entirely different languages. While many Native American societies were patriarchal, the Iroquois had a unique system where women selected their leaders. Native Americans constructed various types of dwellings, including wigwams, hogans, igloos, tepees, and longhouses. Their lifestyles varied as well, with some tribes primarily engaged in hunting and fishing, while others focused on agriculture.
