**Welcome to our MYP 3 Indigenous Cultures Wiki!**
=Indigenous peoples are the original inhabitants of many countries. They are also called first peoples, tribal people, aboriginal people, autochthons and, sometimes, the "Fourth World".=

Indigenous peoples number about 300 million, distributed among all five continents.

Two questions guide our research: 1) What constitutes a civilization? What common traits can we use to compare civilizations ? The class has decided on the headings we will use to compare the indigenous civilizations we are studying:
 * Location
 * Government
 * Economy
 * Society
 * Belief Systems
 * Customs
 * Science and Technology
 * Art and Architecture

2) What have modernization and globalization meant for indigenous peoples? How have they benefited and suffered?
