Choose at least two contributions of early cultures in the Eastern or Western Hemispheres and explain how they might have affected the development of New Mexico.

I just finished the test. I chose the Maya and Inca civilizations. Go to lesson 1 unit 3 and you'll find your answers there. I would also like to let you know that my older brother's teacher; he goes to connexus too, said that students are getting caught using brainly and other cheating cites. Make sure to rewrite a supplied answer completely in your own words. If you get caught, cheating will be put on your permanent record. I just wanted to give a heads up. Also, you cannot just change a few words on a supplied answer. They have a cite that will allow them to see if your answer is close to an answer from a cheating cite. -Tomboy

To identify contributions of early cultures in the Eastern or Western Hemispheres that may have influenced the development of New Mexico, we need to look back at the history of the region and explore the interactions between different civilizations. Here are two possible contributions and their impacts on New Mexico's development:

1. Native American Cultures:
The Native American cultures that existed in the Western Hemisphere before European contact have had a profound impact on the development of New Mexico. The region was home to various indigenous groups, including the Pueblo peoples. Their contributions are still visible in the cultural, architectural, and artistic heritage of New Mexico.

a) Architecture and Construction Techniques: The Pueblo peoples were skilled in building multi-story adobe dwellings and intricate structures. These architectural techniques not only provided shelter but also served as a defense against invaders. The focus on sustainability and utilization of local resources in building structures influenced later settlers' architectural styles in New Mexico.

b) Agriculture and Irrigation Systems: Native American cultures in the region, including the Ancestral Puebloans (Anasazi), developed advanced farming techniques and irrigation systems, which allowed them to cultivate crops in arid environments. These methods, such as terraced agriculture and the construction of intricate canal systems, were adopted by later settlers due to their effectiveness in the region's challenging climate.

2. Spanish Colonization:
The Spanish colonization of the Western Hemisphere, including the establishment of settlements in modern-day Mexico, had a significant impact on the development of New Mexico. Spanish influences brought new cultural, social, and economic elements to the region.

a) Trade and Commerce: The Spanish introduced an extensive network of trade and commerce, connecting New Mexico with other parts of the Americas and Europe. Goods and resources such as livestock, agricultural produce, and minerals were exchanged, contributing to the growth of New Mexico's economy and development of trade routes.

b) Religion and Architecture: With the arrival of Spanish missionaries, the religious practices and architectural styles of Catholicism were introduced to New Mexico. The construction of Spanish mission churches, such as the San Felipe de Neri Church in Albuquerque, became focal points of communities, influencing the architectural landscape and religious practices in the region.

In conclusion, the contributions of early cultures, particularly the Native American cultures and Spanish colonization, played a crucial role in shaping the development of New Mexico. Their influences can be observed in various aspects such as architecture, agriculture, trade, and religious practices, enriching the cultural heritage and historical significance of the region.

Oh, my! That is such a broad question, I have no idea how to advise you. Your text materials must have some ideas. Your best bet is to read them carefully and base your answer on what your assigned reading suggests.

Consider the people referred to as Athabascan or Athabaskan who crossed from the eastern hemisphere to the Western Hemisphere via the Bering Strait “land bridge” many centuries ago.

What ideas can you focus on after researching and reading about this?
