Pre-Colonial North America (also known as Pre-Columbian, Prehistoric, and Precontact) is the period between the migration of the Paleo-Indians to the region between 40,000-14,000 years ago and contact between indigenous tribes and European colonists in the 16th century CE which eradicated the Native American culture, replacing it with what became Canada and the United States of America. https://www.worldhistory.org/Pre-Colonial_North_America/ #History #Cahokia #EuropeanColonizationoftheAmericas #MississippianCulture
