In the Mayan civilization, men and women had distinct roles and responsibilities. Men typically held positions of power and authority, such as rulers, priests, and warriors, while women were primarily responsible for domestic tasks and raising children. However, women could also attain influence and prestige through involvement in religious ceremonies or as priestesses, and some women even held political power as queens or rulers. Overall, while there were gender differences in the Mayan society, it is important to note that women still had the opportunity for social mobility and influence.

Contrary to popular belief, the team was not named for 19th century Cleveland player Louis Sockalexis when it assumed its current name in 1915. Rather, when the Naps needed a new name after Napoleon Lajoie was sent to the Philadelphia Athletics after the end of the 1914 season, Charles Somers, the team owner, asked the local newspapers to come up with a new name for the team. They chose "Indians" as a play on the name of the 1914 Boston Braves, who were known as the "Miracle Boston Braves" after going from last place on July 4 to a sweep in the World Series. The proponents of the name acknowledged that the Cleveland Spiders of the National League had sometimes been informally called the "Indians" during Sockalexis' short career there, a fact which merely reinforced the new name. In any case, the name change was assumed to be temporary, but it stuck. And 34 years later, the Indians went on to defeat those same Braves, 4 games to 2, in the 1948 World Series -- after winning a one game playoff against Boston's other team, the Red Sox. The victory over the Braves was the franchise's second of two world titles; the Tribe had also won the 1920 World Series, defeating the Brooklyn Robins 5 games to 2. Legend has it that the team honored Louis Sockalexis when it assumed its current name in 1915. The spectacular Sockalexis, a Native American, had played in Cleveland 1897-1899. On the contrary, when the "Naps" sent longtime leader Napoleon Lajoie to the Philadelphia Athletics at the end of the 1914 season, owner Charles Somers asked the local newspapers to come up with a new name for the team. They chose "Indians" as a play on the name of the Boston Braves, then known as the "Miracle Braves" after going from last place on July 4 to a sweep in the 1914 World Series. Proponents of the name acknowledged that the Cleveland Spiders of the National League had sometimes been informally called the "Indians" during Sockalexis' short career there, a fact which merely reinforced the new name. In any case, the name stuck. And 34 years later, the Indians went on to defeat that same Braves franchise, 4 games to 2, in the 1948 World Series -- after first winning a one game playoff against Boston's other team, the Red Sox. The victory over the Braves was the franchise's second of two World Series titles; the Tribe had also won the 1920 World Series, defeating the Brooklyn Robins 5 games to 2. (Pluto, 1999) The name and logo of the Cleveland Indians, in its depiction of a smiling red-faced cartoon character, is considered by many to be racist and highly offensive. Such individuals consider the term "Indians" to be a derogatory characterization of an entire race and the logo to be a highly offensive depiction of the stereotypical "drunk" aboriginal. Similar objections are made with regard to other sports teams that allegedly depict aboriginal people in a racist manner, such as the Chicago Blackhawks, Washington Redskins and Atlanta Braves.
They had a very powerful empire so they could easily rule every single one after ruling even just one. Many feared the Maya and the Maya got into many wars, and in each one gained more and more land. Although, not quite as powerful as the Aztecs became a very very feared empire.

The Maya culture was Mesoamerican (in Central America): from eastern and southern Mexico, through Guatemala, Belize and El Salvador to western Honduras (with the famous Copan ruins).
The Mayans 'vanished' thousands of years ago-go to youtube and look up Mayan mysteries.
There were a few great civilizations that flourished in Mesoamerica (modern day Mexico and central america) before the Spanish conquest in the 16th century. Right before the Spanish the Aztec Empire dominated the area. Before the Aztecs it was the the Toltecs. And before the Toltecs it was the Mayans. And before the Mayans it was the Zapotecs, who were contemporary to the Romans in Europe.

I know that in the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico (where the Maya people live) the ground is so porus that water simply seeps through into underground caverns, and therefore the region didn't have any rivers.

Both native groups had similar traditions, calendars, weapons, and both were in Mexico. Both tribes built pyramids and mud houses.
The plains Sioux Indians lived in tipis made out of buffalo hides and wooden poles. They are 15 - 20 feet in diameter. The tipis have flaps on the top that could be opened and closed to account for fires inside the tipi and for bad weather. They also contained hooks on the insides to hang weapons, tools and supplies. They relied on tipis for their housing since they're existence was centered around buffalo. They were a migratory tribe based on the presence of buffalo, and tipis were quick and easy to take down and put up. But, the Sioux on the east coast lived in places other than Tipis.

I have a1/3 of Cherokee blood in me my mom was 1/2 so i think that i might have a1/3
It would be pretty much impossible to be 1/3 of anything since each person has DNA from 2 parents, not 3. DNA typically comes in multiples of 2 so if your mom was 1/2 Indian and your father had no Indian in him, that would make you 1/4.
