I think it is very ironic how they come together to trade but once their community grows into an empire they start destroys one another for supplies.The Aztec were known to take this course of action. Instead of sharing resources like they once did, it seemed like they became greedy for the resources so they would destroy one another for it. It impressed me as tribe evolves that have made very impressive contributes despite the lack of resources they had.Such as the Sun Pyramid, irrigation systems, or the Maya's calendar. The Hohokam I believe were the most evolved compared to the Maya, Aztecs, and the Inca empire, Not only they were more evolved but smart too because how they designed a canal systems for irrigation to help harvest not only one crop but two, so they were thinking smarty just in case one crop failed and to also get sufficient enough of food. With the canals they build they had there community linked within them, so it was easier for them to trade, go to work, and practice their religion. The canal they build did not have a sole purpose for the crops but for transportation as well.
The main value that they share is with their community, how the community is all consider family one way or another. Either it be through an extended family or just the immediate family. With having everyone in the community being family I think it brings everyone close and it makes the community stronger and successful, because there is no rebellion within their community. All Native American have some sort of religion that they strictly follow in different way such as sacrificing, worshiping, or believing. I believe religion is one main value they strongly have in common and their religion is what makes the community and who they are as a community, it basically describes them. It's interesting how all the Native American religions related to the spiritual power of nature. The Native Americans truly value the earth and nature for the resources that it gives them so it makes sense why they would worship the power of nature. Just like Christian and Catholics they value life so we worship God because he created and gave the world life. The Native Americans are remarkable in their values what they believe in and how they create their communities. Its inspiring to learn and know how my ancestors used to live and are known for.
