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.

What was Rubber for factories in the US was dependent upon imports from?

Rubber for factories in the U.S. was heavily dependent upon imports from countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand, which were the leading producers of natural rubber. The reliance on these imports was particularly pronounced during the 20th century, especially during World War II when domestic production was insufficient to meet demand. Synthetic rubber also became an alternative during this time, but the U.S. continued to depend on natural rubber from these key Southeast Asian countries for many industrial applications.

When did Charles Goodyear invent vulcanization of rubber?

He didn't invent vulcanization of rubber. He discovered it in 1839 and patented the process on June 15, 1844. However, there is credible evidence that the Mesoamericans may also have used this process to make stable rubber for use as rubber balls in around 1600 B.C.


What element is used to harden rubber to make tires?

Sulphur, in a process called vulcanization.


What is the element for hardening rubber?

Sulfur is commonly used as the element for hardening rubber through a process called vulcanization. It creates cross-links between rubber polymer chains, making the material more durable, elastic, and resistant to heat and wear.
