To be real, what they probably were arguing was the opposite in a way- but i believe they were also on point.

If this person is US American, they may be referring to the Mexican West as the Northern part of Mexico for Mexicans. Its a little strange because Western movies with Mexicans, mostly depict Northern Mexicans. (I could also be wrong and they were referring to maybe baja california?)

Anyway, i bring this up because in mexico there are two main currents of studying archeology. The most popular is the central-south archeology that spends most time maintaining and studying sites like Teotihuacan or Tajin, that have huge pyramids and other hard to miss tangible buildings.

The North anthropology is way different and id say harder , because the people who lived up in northern Mexico were seasonal nomads, and settlements were made by native groups that traveled with the philosophy to leave little trace. Resources were not as abundant as the south, and climate changed throughout the year, so they had to move areas and follow resources. Northern anthropology is based on studying basically signs of these settlements by the trash - broken tools and other traces like a blind puzzle. There are little obvious signs and if there are any structures they’re made of sand that chips away like in Paquime. Or maybe pictographs on a rock in the middle of the desert like in three rivers. (Three rivers is in the US but you know, nomads back then did not care about borders)

Its a lot harder and a lot easier to simply fail to procure enough evidence to prove your theory beyond a doubt. So theres little interest by the public and academia.

Anyways if this person however was about actual Western Mexico, im terribly unfamiliar because the western part of mexico (western side coastline) is 7338 kilometers or 4559 miles, with widely different faunas and flora and culture and im not sure about what theyd be referring to specifically .

NATIVE AMERICAN TRADE HISTORY PART 1 – TRADE BETWEEN TRIBES

You may have heard the term “Indian Trade”, which refers to the historic trade relationship between the Native American Peoples and Europeans on the North American continent. It operated from the first arrival of the Spanish, French, Portuguese, English, and other explorers, and settlers up until the late 1930s. Yet the story of “American Indian” trade goes back much further than this, and trade between tribal groups and regions has been occurring for thousands of years.

Archaeologists have found a lot of evidence of widespread trade between prehistoric indigenous groups in ancient villages, campsites, graves, and mounds. This included the trade of flint, copper, marine shell products, and obsidian along east-west trade routes connecting the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.

For example, “Spanish Diggings” is a quarry site in Wyoming that was “discovered” in 1880 by a stockman and was examined in 1894 by a University of Wyoming Geology professor. It was determined that up to millions of tons of quartzite had been excavated by indigenous people 10,000 years ago – most likely for trade with others.

The Ancient Anasazi

Early southwestern Indigenous Peoples primarily exchanged their goods with Mesoamerican civilizations. One thousand years ago, the Anasazi Indians who resided in the Southwest were a cornerstone of the trade network between the Pacific Northwest and Mesoamerican civilizations. They provided turquoise and obsidian to tribes along the Gulf of California and, in return, received Native American jewelry crafted from Pacific seashells. They traded turquoise with Mesoamerican partners for pottery, precious feathers (including from Paquime-bred Macaw parrots), and other ornaments, and provided a channel for the spread of Mesoamerican agricultural techniques, religious customs, materials and craftsmanship throughout North America.

Indian Trade up to the 1500s…

“Indian” trade involved both trader cultures and individual traders, who were channels between tribes separated by long distances. Male and female traders met at strategically placed trading centers, many situated at specific hubs or along major river routes. An extensive and expansive trade network with Trade Centers developed. These included, for example, Taos Pueblo in New Mexico, Dalles on the Columbia River in Oregon, Niagara Falls and Sault Sainte Marie in the Northeast, and Hidasta in North Dakota. 

Other trade occurred as nomadic tribes seasonally passed on their way to hunting, fishing, or gathering grounds.

Many diverse items were up for trade, from foodstuffs to hides, clayware, fiberware, obsidian, flint, pearls, seashells, minerals, and more. The Arizona-based Hohokam traded seashells acquired from the Mojave with Plains Indians for buffalo hides.

More enterprising tribes like the Shoshone had their own trade fair. Some tribes, including the Crow, Nez Perce, and Ute, would purchase items and transport them far afield to sell to other tribes and turn a profit.

Great Plains and Southwest Indian Trade…

The Great Plains Indians traded within their own tribes and between different tribes, often based on gift exchange within the tribe and hunt products between tribes. For example, dried bison meat and bison hide robes were traded for corn and squash between the Great Plains and Pueblo tribes.

As with Native Nations in other parts of the USA, tribes of the southwest also built important relationships through trade. Pueblo Indians and the Navajo fostered and cemented important social and political relationships by exchanging goods and gifts, however, these practices differed somewhat from simpler commercial interactions in the eastern parts of the North American continent.

Moreover, unlike nomadic Nations (e.g., the Sioux), the Pueblo Peoples (e.g., Tiwa, Hopi) were sedentary and they developed mutually beneficial but complex trading relationships with semi-sedentary Nations like the Navajo and Apache tribes, as well as with the Plains Indians. Pueblo tribes traded cotton textiles, turquoise, and ceramics for buffalo hides and meat, salt, and tallow through a custom of reciprocal gift-giving as well as complementary exchanges of surplus goods.

Between the Pueblo Tribes themselves, trade became more specialised as well. The Tiwa and Northern Tiwa provided fibrolite (a mineral used to craft axes and ritual items); the Tanos provided lead and turquoise; the Southern Tiwa and Piro provided malachite; the Pecos produced leather goods; Tewas provided obsidian. https://indiantraders.com/blogs/news/native-american-trade-history-part-1-trade-between-tribes

Effigy pots are recreations of ancient vessels that were found in and around the Paquime/Casas Grandes region of Chihuahua, Mexico. It is believed that these pieces were created to depict the birds and animal life that were so important to the people.

Effigy vase, Paquime, Mexico AD 1100 - 1300

This woman-shaped vessel shows the mixture of cultural influences that occurred in the ancient city of Paquimé, in what is now the state of Chihuahua. The piece preserves, on the one hand, the iconography and graphic aesthetics of the Mogollon tradition, originating from what is today the southwest of the United States of America; On the other side is a vessel-effigy representing a female character of a certain social rank to which this vessel is deposited as a mortuary offering, a practice typical of the Mesoamerican tradition. On the front face, the female character has her hands on her belly, while on the opposite side a smaller character is modeled that is attached to the base of the vessel.

Cueva de la Olla, Chihuahua

Se sitúa a los habitantes de Cueva de la Olla en el contexto social de Paquimé y de la llamada cultura Mogollón. Los grupos nómadas, en su tránsito de norte a sur, se establecieron a lo largo de la Sierra Madre Occidental, dispersándose gradualmente y poblando las áreas cercanas a los ríos. Cueva de la Olla corresponde a una fase anterior al apogeo de Paquimé, y comparte los rasgos arquitectónicos característicos de la región y la época, como son las puertas en forma de “T” y las construcciones de adobe colado.

This Mata Ortiz olla is a geometric feast to the eye. Entirely handmade without a pottery wheel using the ancestral coil method. The painting by Blanca Quezada is amazing specially since it’s hand painted using a handmade brush with a few strands of hair. . . . #sandiafolk #mataortiz #mataortizpottery #casasgrandes #nativeart #ollasdebarro #clayart #coilbuilding #pitfiredpottery #paquime #ceramicart #architecturaldesign #geometricart #creativity #mexicanfolkart #mexicanpottery #barronegro #talavera #alebrije #designpottery #designinspirations #geometricabstract (at Houston, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXzT6neL1DR/?utm_medium=tumblr
