Mapping the Exchanges and Legacies

What were the legacies of historical globalization?

As cultural groups make contact and interact as peoples, impacts on culture, identity, and society can occur. Impacts to culture and identity may come to a group of people in the form of acculturation, accommodation, integration, marginalization, and/or assimilation. Impacts to society may be in the form of population change, technological advances, and/or the rise or decline of a society. These impacts can become legacies that are passed down through the generations and that continue to be issues in the lives of people today.

Mercantilism, capitalism, imperialism, industrialization, and Eurocentrism promoted ideas, values, and beliefs that created massive changes in the cultures and identities of Indigenous peoples and non-Indigenous peoples. The economic, political, social, and cultural legacies of historical globalization have created issues that continue to demand responses today.
