Scenarios about 'indigenous civilization'

Indigenous civilizations are complex societies developed by the original inhabitants of regions prior to European colonization or outside influence, including advanced cultures like the Maya, Inca, and Haudenosaunee. These civilizations created sophisticated systems of governance, architecture, agriculture, and spiritual practices uniquely adapted to their environments and often overlooked in traditional historical narratives. In alternate history scenarios, indigenous civilizations frequently serve as focal points for timelines exploring resistance to colonization, technological divergence, or the evolution of non-Western cultural paradigms.
