Aboriginal women marrying French men is an example from Cartier's time of mixed culture between the two cultures as it was very rare at that time.

Adoption of an aspect of ones culture by a person of another culture
Environment shapes culture, and culture affects environment. For example, people living in an area with poor soil may have a smaller population per square mile and may exhaust their agricultural resources through overgrazing and not rotating crops. People in urban cultures develop elaborate social rituals to combat crowded conditions and, since many of them may not be property owners, may have little incentive to protect or improve their homes.
New Zealand does have a unique national identity because we have many things that represent us in a certain way and make us different to others e.g. Our Flag represents our place in the world, our anthem tells others who we are and half of it is in Maori, our second language. Our national icons/ symbols are all different to others because they represent who we are not who Australia or USA is for example.
I only know of one example, and it is horses. It changed the way people got to places, and it became an important part of Native America culture.
Native American Tribes and Tribal empires existed long before Europeans began their extensive explorations and settlements in the Western Hemisphere. The Natives' population began a slow but steady decline through armed conflicts with the well weaponed Europeans. Another cause of their decline was due to diseases they were exposed to from the Europeans. When European settlements were firmly established, there was cause for even greater alarm by the Natives. The Europeans were hell bent on expansion. Whenever Native tribes were deemed to be "in the way" they were forced by the well armed Europeans to march long distances away from their homelands. The Cherokees in Georgia for example were forced to march to the area of what is now Oklahoma. Many died from exposure or starvation. Little by little, the settlers placed the Natives in no win situations and the Native populations began to decrease and the populations of the Europeans increased.
The effects of colonization of Central and South America by Europeans had, in the end, mostly damaging effects on the cultures of those areas. Though there are historical accounts of fellowship and trade between the native cultures of Mexico and the European colonists, in the end most of their relationships soured and ended in tragedy. For example, there have been many historical accounts of Europeans spreading diseases to native cultures that wiped out great numbers of them. In addition to this, a great number of Mexican natives were wiped out by the Europeans when their relationships broke down into outright warfare. A native culture which had weaponry such as spears, axes and clubs usually suffered huge losses when faced with a European force equipped with horses, armor and firearms. In the end, much of the thriving culture present when the Europeans landed was erased or hugely damaged by colonization.
Europeans had an extremely large impact on Native Americans, both in positive and negative ways. Negative ways are the most widely known and form the majority. Many Natives were killed either directly (through combat) or indirectly (through diseases). Their land was taken away from them and many of them were slaves or plantation workers. Most of them were also relocated across the Americas as well. All this has led to the incredible decline in the Native American population, which is why they are actually considered to be somewhat 'endangered'. Positive ways can also be found, however. Native Americans lived in tribes and these tribes had both allies and enemies. When Europeans came, not all were mean. The Spanish were destructive against the Natives, the French were friends with the Natives, and the British were just intermediate. The Europeans traded with the Natives and exposes the Natives to weapons, for example. This allowed the Natives to fight their enemies more destructively. Despite war being a terrible thing, this is actually considered a positive impact because it modernized the Natives. Also hidden in the previous statement was another positive impact: trade.
The Native Americans preserved aspects of their own culture to resist the Europeans. For example, language, religious traditions and clothing.

They can change by other foreign companies expanding into the culture. for example mcdonalds moves in a country and changes a culture by changing their food over time. also maybe war. Another example when the europeans came to the Americans they changed native Americans' culture by almost everything. You never see a native American the way they were back about 400 years ago.

An example of a persistent sub-culture would be a culture that refuses to assimilate into another culture.
Cultural shock, or "culture shock" means to be surprised about the differences between your culture and someone else's. For example, if you moved from America to Mexico, you wouldn't be used to the way people greet one another, and it would be hard to adapt. You would then be experiencing culture shock.
