Oasisamerica

Oasisamerica is a term used by some scholars, primarily Mexican anthropologists, for the broad cultural area defining pre-Columbian southwestern North America.〔Danna A. Levin Rojo, ''Return to Aztlan: Indians, Spaniards, and the Invention of Nuevo México'' (University of Oklahoma Press, 2014), ISBN 978-0806145617, pp. 50ff. (Excerpts available ) at Google Books.〕 It extends from modern-day Utah down to southern Chihuahua, and from the coast on the Gulf of California eastward to the Río Bravo river valley. Its name comes from its position in relationship with the similar regions of Mesoamerica and mostly nomadic Aridoamerica.〔Lopez Austin and López Luján 28–29〕 The term ''Greater Southwest'' is often used to describe this region by American anthropologists.
As opposed to their nomadic Aridoamerican neighbors, the Oasisamericans primarily had agricultural societies,〔Culture e religioni indigene in America centrale e meridionale, By Lawrence Eugene Sullivan〕
==Geography==
The term "Oasisamerica" is derived from a combination of the terms "oasis" and "America". It refers to a wild land dominated by the Rocky Mountains and the Sierra Madre Occidental. To the east and west of these enormous mountain ranges stretch the grand arid plains of the Sonora, Chihuahua, and Arizona Deserts. At its height, Oasisamerica covered part of the present-day Mexican states of Chihuahua, Sonora and Baja California, as well as the U.S. states of Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, Colorado, Nevada, and California.〔The essence of anthropology, by William A. Haviland, Harald E. L. Prins, Dana Walrath, Bunny McBride〕
Despite being a basically dry land, Oasisamerica contains several bodies of water like rivers: Yaqui, Rio Grande, Colorado, Conchos and Gila Rivers. The presence of these rivers (and even some lakes that have since been swallowed by the desert), combined with a climate that was much milder that eastern Aridoamerica, allowed the development of agricultural techniques that were imported from Mesoamerica.
