What American Indian things have been adopted by other cultures?
Besides, canoe, kayak, lacrosse, snow shoes, moccasins, bow & arrow, toboggans, corn and pumpkins, I found this:http://www.nativeministries.com/article.php?id=771 RUBBER PRODUCTS: Native Americans made rubber products as early as 1700 BC. The Olmec and later the Maya would collect the sap from rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis) to produce many rubber products. They also understood the process of vulcanization used in waterproofing such items as capes, shoes, bottles, tarpaulins, ponchos, baskets, and also used in making rubber balls. A rubber ball has been found at the Olmec site of La Venta dated to 1000 B.C. This process would not be discover by the European counterparts until Charles Goodyear discovered vulcanization and patented it in 1844. The Olmec became so identified with rubber that they became known as the "Rubber People". For more information see, "Encyclopedia of American Indian Contributions to the World" by Emory Dean Keoke and Kay Marie Porterfield, under the heading Latex.2) FREEZE-DRYING: As early as AD 1000 Native Americans were using the process of freeze-drying. It is basically the same process that is used today in making such foods as instant mashed potatoes. By freeze-drying the shelf life of the product could be extended into years instead of weeks. Although the Inca used this technique on a number of vegetables it was used mostly to preserve their surplus potatoes. For more information see, "Encyclopedia of American Indian Contributions to the World" by Emory Dean Keoke and Kay Marie Porterfield under freeze-drying.

Did marquis mills converse invent converse?
from the book - Products and Advertising in the Massachusetts Industrial Age - by Chaim M. Rosenberg Vulcanized rubber found many commercial uses, not least in the footwear industry. In 1853, Elisha Slade Converse and his older brother James formed the Boston Rubber Shoe Company in the village of Malden, a few miles north of Boston. The company made rubber shoes and rubber overshoes for the winter slush. It grew to 3,500 workers and became the largest employer in the town. In 1882, Elisha Converse was elected the first mayor of Malden. His generosity to the town is seen in the First Baptist Church and the Converse Public Library, which he funded. In 1908, Malden became the home of a second rubber shoe company. It was founded by Marquis Mills, who took his mother's last name, Converse, and called his company the Converse Rubber Shoe Company, no doubt to capitalize on the famous name. Converse Rubber Shoe grew with the expanding interest in sports. The Converse Rubber line of sports shoes included the Chuck Taylor All Star basketball sneaker. Both the Boston Rubber Shoe and the Converse Rubber Shoe companies were later bought out by larger firms, and the shoemaking finally left Malden in the 1930s.
