Taylor observed that migration negatively affected the pre-Colombian culture since the Hohokam and Anasazi cultures were manipulated by the Europeans. Europeans encountered these groups that had stabilized horticulture, hunting, and family units. This society had structured roles for each gender and man had the overall responsibility of family wellbeing.Īmong the other natives include the Inuit and Aleut. Taylor traces the migration route in the Paleo and Archaic America as dominated by Indians who used crude weapons and lived in units in the expansive west America region. Taylor succeeds in identifying migration patterns of different ethnic groups across the American territory before colonial invasion. Taylor identifies American natives as the Indians, Inuit and Aleut who introduced cultures such as anasazi and hohokam that modified the primitive practices into societal activities. This chapter discusses the natives that shaped the culture of the American colony. Thus, this reflective treatise attempts to present explicit summary of the thoughts of Alan Taylor from chapter one to chapter seven in the book “American Colonies”. The book “American Colonies” by Alan Taylor offers an opposing view to the Anglo-centric focal point through explicit review of the numerous cultural influences that created the American colony.
