The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Describe indigenous culture in America's pre-Columbus and describe the impact of colonialism on their societies,
The pre-Columbian civilizations of Mesoamerica had in common the grade of advancement in the agriculture techniques that allowed them to farm the fields and grow crops to feed their families and trade with other tribes. Another commonality is the many gods they used to worship. They were polytheists. These Mesoamerican civilizations honored mother nature and thank the Earth for everything it provided. That is why they did chants and dances.
Some pre-Columbian civilizations were fierce warriors such as the Aztecs or the Mayas in the Yucatán Penisula. They conquered many territories and forced them to pay tribute.
Among the most important pre-Columbian civilizations, we have the Toltecs, the Olmecs, the Aztecs, Mayans, and the Zapotecs.
Colonialism heavily impacted these societies in that Spanish conquerors tried to change their lives, their cultural belief systems, tradition, and language. Spaniards forced them to be Catholics. And the worst of it, Spaniards brought many unknown diseases to these civilizations as was the case of smallpox, chickenpox, malaria, and infuenza.
