After Christopher Columbus reached the new world, native Americans are normally depicted as helpless victims swept away from society and civilization during the colonization.
However, the Americans might have actually been a part of the expanding global economy.
An example of this is the Tlingit people of the Pacific Northwest Coast of North America. They developed a metalworking tradition, by using iron from Chinese and Japanese shipwrecks that washed up on the shore.
