Latin America.- it contains: Spanish and Portuguese ex-colonial countries where Spanish or Portuguese are the official languages; French ex-colonial countries, and overseas French territories, where French is the official language.

7 Moreover, we have to mention the tribal religions that are professed in: North Canada; Some South American countries such as Surinam o Guyana; The Amazon River basin, especially in northern Bolivia and Brazil. Finally, the many and varied living expressions that are developed in the American continent, are influenced by two historical events: the three-century colonial period, between the XVI and XVIII centuries, during which a group of European powers forced the indigenous population of America to submit to their authority; the slaves from Black Africa that were taken to the American continent by the European colonizers between the XVI and XIX centuries; what results in a continent that s a melting-pot of different cultures.

Fiestas indígenas dedicadas a los muertos. Danza ritual de las tijeras. Brazil. Ceremonia ritual de los voladores. Expresiones orales y gráficas de la población indígena de los Wajapi.
