There were around 25 recognized different cultural groups in North America before Europeans arrived.
<h3>What are cultural groups?</h3>
A cultural group, also known as ethnicity, is a collection of individuals who identify as one another based on characteristics that set them apart from other groups.
These characteristics may include shared traditions, ancestry, language, history, society, culture, nation, or manners of treatment in their local community. Ethnicity is distinct from the related idea of races, while the terms are occasionally used synonymously, especially in contexts of ethnic nationalism.
Ethnicity can be seen as either a societally imposed or an inherited construct. A person's ethnic identity is typically determined by their shared cultural background, ancestry, origin myth, history, country, language, dialect, symbolic systems including religion, mythology, and ritual, food, attire, or physical characteristics.
