Native American PODs
This is an article listing various points of divergence related to Native American cultures, i.e. the native, pre-Columbian cultures of the Americas (from the Arctic to Tierra del Fuego).
The article is a compilation of POD discussions already listed elsewhere on the wiki, and serves mainly to centralise them in one place, in addition to the specialised articles they already appear in. This is done mainly to make things easier for people interested in Native American PODs, avoiding the need to search through many different articles to find the specific POD discussions.
Please do not delete the PODs listed here from the articles they already appeared in. The article is meant to provide greater ease of use, but isn't meant to be an exclusive place for these PODs.
