Classification of indigenous peoples of the Americas

Classification of indigenous peoples of the Americas is a way of grouping different kinds of native peoples in the Americas into categories. This helps us learn about the different peoples of the continent better. For example, some native peoples like the Lakota Sioux in North America and the Quechua in South America each have a unique culture, language, and history. By classifying them, we can find out more about them and see where they have similarities and differences.
