The Americas are home to many native tribes; the world’s largest river – the Amazon flows here. There were communities of the natives such as the Arawakian Lucayos and the Caribs. The Arawaks sailed in dugout canoes in sea. They collaborated with the Spanish in the latter’s search for gold. The Tupinamba Indians lived in the eastern coast of South America, rich in brazilwood, from which the name ‘Brazil’ comes. The Aztecs had migrated from the north to the central valley of Mexico, which they named so after their God, Mexitli. Please refer Class 11 History Notes Chapter 8 for more information.
