City Minutes: Indigenous America

As we look at 4 pre-Columbian American cities, I don't know whether to be more impressed with the the architecture or the landscaping. Probably both.

On the topic of really cool pre-colonial American architecture, I highly recommend looking into the Mound Builders, the city of Cahokia and the towns of Ancestral Puebloans (sometimes called Anasazi, but that's a name meaning "ancient enemies" and modern Puebloans aren't a fan of that). Many of the peoples further north than the Yucatán didn't end up making permanent structures on the scale of Cahokia since that wasn't always the end goal or the most practical choice for their biome/subsistence model. (Not to downplay the coolness of the many kinds of dwellings-- I have a special admiration for the versatility of the tipi. Sometimes the coolest architecture is what you can disassemble and rebuild in a day) Though we should remember that on the whole a LOT about traditional life and communal identities changed in the years after contact- horses, for example, made for a massive shift in subsistence practices, and westward expansion made old allies enemies and strangers, rivals and cordial neighbors band together and combine identities- the Seminoles are an interesting example of the latter. Pressures from the fur trade was one of the earliest things to really screw with the existing political, trade and alliance systems.)

Yeah, I noticed that it was mostly coming from central and south America because that's where the big "cities" are, but the History Makers series has proved that you can stretch your definitions a bit if you want to include something, so I think part 2 for north America would be awesome.
