In Latin America there is so much diversity within all of the indigenous groups but very little is known about the majority of these groups. For example, many of the pre-conquest cultures are extinct now due to the diseases brought over by the Europeans as well as hands on combat with the Europeans, but even though there are many that are extinct, there are still many that have survived. Not only have these cultures survived the conquest, but they have also survived modernity in an ever changing world. With the indigenous cultures that still survive, they have many similarities and differences so it is important to try to continue preserving what is left of all of these remaining cultures.
