Major lingua francas and heritage languages appear together; minority tongues are named where they structure identity. Through staples, techniques and social meals — not tourist clichés alone — with note of regional variation.

As lived practice and festival calendars, without treating any faith as a racial essence. State borders and conflicts appear when they shaped culture; the page is not a news wire. Can diaspora count as Indigenous Americas? Yes. Overseas communities often conserve and reinvent tradition; they appear in the Today section.
