Indigenous<span> cultures shaped, and were shaped by, the </span>geography<span> of North America. The first North Americans are believed to have </span>migrate<span>d from Siberia, in northeast Asia, by crossing a </span>land bridge<span> over the Bering Strait. These populations fanned out southward, to present-day Florida, California, Mexico, and Central America. </span>

<span>The Olmec and the Maya, indigenous to Central America, built the first cities on the continent, eventually leading to the great urban areas of Tenochtitlan, Texcoco, and Tlacopan. These cities, in what is now central Mexico, boasted </span>sophisticated engineering<span> structures, such as </span>canal<span>s, apartment buildings, and </span>irrigation<span> systems. </span>

<span>Many of these early North American cultures were scientifically and agriculturally advanced. Mayan calendars and </span>almanac<span>s recorded </span>celestial<span>events such as </span>eclipse<span>s and </span>seasonal<span> changes. The Mayans were also mathematically advanced. Their counting system was able to represent very large numbers using only three symbols: dots, lines, and a football-shaped symbol that indicated a zero. The Mayans were, in fact, the first culture to have a written symbol for zero. </span>

<span>Cultures throughout southern North America harvested corn, squash, and beans in regular cycles. This sort of </span>agriculture<span> allowed major </span>civilization<span>s to develop. People were no longer bound to produce food and shelter for their families—some people could work in the food and construction industries while others became engineers, artists, and political leaders. Leading North American civilizations include the Maya and Aztec, in what is now Mexico, and the Iroquois, native to southeastern Canada and the northeastern United States.  .................</span>

Describe the importance of peoples participation.
Scorpion4ik [409]

Explanation:

1. Your opinion is important

Community engagement is a vital part of many projects and the benefits are well documented, such as better outcomes for all stakeholders, community ownership and lower project costs but more importantly, decision makers genuinely want to hear ideas and feedback.

Most community engagement these days is no longer about spreading information and telling people what is being done, but is a two-way street between decision makers and stakeholders. Regardless of your qualifications, everyone knows what they like or dislike and has an opinion about what needs to be done and where priorities should lay.

2. More perspectives

Community engagement is often heavily one-sided, and engagement projects can be inundated with input from only those community members who have a strong opinion. Without other perspectives being aired, decision makers might not make the best decision for the community as a whole simply because of a minority of loud voice.

If your opinion differs from the more popular opinions, decision makers want to hear from you so they get a balanced understanding of the community's views and enhance the value of the final decision. The more views gathered in the process of making a decision, the more likely the final product will meet the needs and address the most concerns possible and If you fear repercussions of going against a vocal group, engagement can often be done anonymously.

3. New information

Decision makers recognise that the community that uses the space that it's planning for have an intimate and unique relationship to the area that they don't. Because of this knowledge, community members can provide new information on a project that has yet to be considered.

Public involvement brings more information to the decision, including scientific or technical knowledge, knowledge about the context where decisions are implemented, history and personalities. More information can make the difference between a good and poor decision.

4. Community ownership

When the community is involved in a project, they have ownership of it and the decision making process, which is key to a successful project outcome, even if not all individuals necessarily agree with the outcome.

5. It feels good

When a project is finalised and you can see the fruits of your labour, it feels good knowing that you were involved in something that benefits the community.

6. A numbers game

For public agencies with political leaders, the total number of people engaged is important. Engaging higher numbers gives the elected representatives confidence in their decision.
