American Latinos

American Latinos have a deep history in what is now the United States. Representing peoples from Central America, South America, the Caribbean Islands, Spain and Portugal, archeology demonstrates that American Latinos underpin the American story. Archeology reveals the everyday lives of those who lived in the West before the United States expanded to the Pacific Coast, the relationships between Spanish explorers and missionaries with Native and African peoples, and their artistic, social, and labor movements.
