DAFTAR PRIBUMI AMERIKA
Klasifikasi masyarakat adat Amerika didasarkan pada wilayah budaya, geografi, dan linguistik. Para antropolog telah menyebutkan berbagai wilayah budaya, dengan batas-batas yang berubah-ubah, yang umumnya disepakati dengan beberapa variasi. Wilayah budaya ini secara luas didasarkan pada lokasi masyarakat adat Amerika sejak awal kontak Eropa dan Afrika yang dimulai pada akhir abad ke-15. Ketika masyarakat adat dipindahkan secara paksa oleh negara-bangsa, mereka tetap mempertahankan klasifikasi geografis aslinya. Beberapa kelompok menjangkau berbagai wilayah budaya.
Kanada, Greenland, Amerika Serikat, dan Meksiko utara
Di Amerika Serikat dan Kanada, para etnografer umumnya mengklasifikasikan masyarakat adat ke dalam sepuluh wilayah geografis dengan ciri-ciri budaya yang sama, yang disebut wilayah budaya.[1] Greenland adalah bagian dari wilayah Arktik. Beberapa ahli menggabungkan wilayah Dataran Tinggi dan Great Basin ke dalam Intermontane West, beberapa memisahkan masyarakat Prairie dari masyarakat Great Plains, sementara beberapa memisahkan suku Great Lakes dari Northeastern Woodlands.

Bahasa
Artikel utama: Bahasa asli Amerika
Bahasa Pribumi Amerika (atau Bahasa Amerindian) dituturkan oleh masyarakat adat dari ujung selatan Amerika Selatan hingga Alaska dan Greenland, yang meliputi daratan yang membentuk Amerika. Bahasa-bahasa Pribumi ini terdiri dari lusinan rumpun bahasa yang berbeda serta banyak bahasa terisolasi dan bahasa-bahasa yang tidak diklasifikasikan. Banyak usulan untuk mengelompokkan mereka ke dalam keluarga tingkat yang lebih tinggi telah dibuat. Menurut UNESCO, sebagian besar bahasa Pribumi Amerika di Amerika Utara sangat terancam punah dan banyak di antaranya sudah punah.[74]

Informasi lebih lanjut: haplogroup Y-DNA pada masyarakat adat Amerika
Haplogroup yang paling sering dikaitkan dengan Penduduk Asli Amerika adalah Haplogroup Q1a3a (Y-DNA).[75] Y-DNA, seperti (mtDNA), berbeda dari kromosom inti lainnya karena sebagian besar kromosom Y bersifat unik dan tidak bergabung kembali selama meiosis. Hal ini berdampak pada pola historis mutasi yang dapat dipelajari dengan lebih mudah.[76] Pola tersebut menunjukkan bahwa masyarakat adat di Amerika mengalami dua episode genetik yang sangat berbeda; pertama dengan pendudukan awal di Amerika, dan kedua dengan kolonisasi Eropa di Amerika.[77][78] Faktor pertama adalah faktor penentu jumlah garis keturunan gen dan haplotipe pendiri yang ada pada populasi penduduk asli Amerika saat ini.[77]
Pemukiman manusia di Amerika terjadi secara bertahap mulai dari garis pantai laut Bering, dengan persinggahan awal selama 20.000 tahun di Beringia untuk populasi pendirinya.[79][80] Keanekaragaman mikro-satelit dan distribusi garis keturunan Y yang spesifik di Amerika Selatan menunjukkan bahwa populasi Amerindian tertentu telah terisolasi sejak awal kolonisasi wilayah tersebut.[81] Populasi Na-Dené, Inuit, dan Penduduk Asli Alaska menunjukkan mutasi haplogroup Q (Y-DNA), namun berbeda dari penduduk asli Amerika lainnya dengan berbagai mutasi mtDNA. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa migran paling awal ke wilayah ekstrem utara Amerika Utara dan Greenland berasal dari populasi yang datang kemudian.[85]
