Inca stonework is often described as incredible and even beyond the capabilities of ordinary native people. This is nonsense of course, since many "primitive" cultures managed to produce stone masonry of equal technical skill using the simplest of stone tools.
Olmec, Aztec, Mixtec, Totonac and Zapotec stonework is no less remarkable.

Before Spanish explorers discovered Mesoamerica, there was one characteristic of the region that remained in place at least until 1519. That was intense regionalism. On the Gulf coastal plains and areas nearby, there were three clear cut groups. These were the tribes called the Huastic, Totonac and Olmec. In the central Mexican, and close by areas Otami and Nahua languages prevailed. In the highlands and Pacific coasts, the native tribes were Mixtec and Zapotec peoples. West of the Aztecs were Tarascans and various groups of Mayan speaking peoples. which extended into the Yucatan peninsula. In the area of what is now Mexico City, Cortes' encountered the leading civilization at the time, the Aztecs.

Orchids history with people goes far back in time with many peoles:
- Orchids were known to the ancient Greeks (8th to 6th centuries BCE to 146 BCE) as a symbol of virility as the flowers resemble testicles.
- The Chinese, as long ago as the time of Confucius (551-479 BCE),, called orchids "The plant of the King's Fragrance."
- In Central America the first to cultivate vanilla (which was a type of orchid) were the Totonac people. Their creation myths indicate the vanilla plant was an early cultivated crop.
- In the Middle Ages (5th century CE to the 15th century CE) orchids played a major role in herbal remedies, as an aphrodisiac and one of the main ingredients in love potions.

Most of them have Caucasian genes, but they are mostly considered a mix of Native American and Caucasian people:
Most Mexicans are Mestizos, people of mixed European ("White") and Native American background. They account for 60-80% of the Mexican population (between 67 up to 90 million in 2010).
The Native American, or Amerindian population ranges from 10% to 30% of the population (between 11 and 34 million in 2010) and such people are the descendants of Native American peoples who inhabited Mexico before the arrival of Europeans during the 16th century. Some ethnic groups including this classification are the Nahuatl, Maya, Zapotec, Mixtec, Otomi and Totonac.
There is also a percentage of Mexicans of white European ancestry, representing 9 to 17% of the population (10 up to 19 million in 2010).

Often, people think of Teotihuacan as a city built by the Aztecs, but by the time they arrived to the Mexico Valley (1325 AD), it had already been abandoned for several centuries. This ignorance goes so far as to not knowing the actual name of the city: by virtue of having being impressed by the city's monolithic structures and monuments, the Aztecs named the city as the "city of the gods" (a.k.a. Teotihuacan).
Modern archaeology has found clues of who were the "Teotihuacans": they founded the city around 100 BC and were a multi-ethnic society, which included people of Nahua, Otomi and Totonac ethnic groups. They were also a quite advanced culture, which included urban planning, irrigation, multi-floor apartment complexes and artistry that would rival that of Renaissance painters. Collapse of the Teotihuacan civilization occurred around the 7th to 8th centuries; An Olmec invasion or an internal uprising are the most likely reasons.

Although Mayans and Aztecs are the most well known native civilizations of Mexico, there were more than 63 ethnic groups before those lands were colonized by Europeans in the 16th century. Most of them had their own distinctive culture and language, but all of them fall within the overall "Mesoamerican Culture", with common traits such as the numeric system, mythology or the sacrifice of captured warriors to worship their gods.
Some of these peoples include:
- The Nahuatl group, including the Aztec, Texcocan, Teotihuacan, Toltec, Tlaxcaltec and others.
- The Mayan, including Olmec and Yucatec Mayan, Tzeltal Mayan, Tzotzil Mayan, and Ch'ol.
- Other minor, however representative groups, which include the Mixtec, Zapotec, Otomi, Totonac, Mazatec, Huastec, Chinantec, Mixe, Mazahua, Tarascan, Tlapanec or Tarahumara.

Nayarit is a province of Mexico with a population of 920,000 and 95% speak Spanish and a first language. The remaining 5%, Coras, Mexicaneros, Tepehuanos and Huicholes speak a native language as their first tongue

The there were hundreds of Native languages. Depending on how you count there were around 300. There were probably a higher number but some went extinct to early to be documented. They are grouped by linguists into 29 language families and 27 language isolates. An example of a language family is English is in Indo European which includes Hindi, Greek, Russian, Latin, German, and Persian and many others. Hebrew is in the same family as Arabic. Turkish is in a family with Kazakh and Finnish.
California alone had 74 languages in 18 families.
Linguists have long tried to ink these language families to ones in Asian with little success. Inuti languages have close relationships with speakers across the Bering sea in Russia. It is thought that Na Dene ( athabaskan) family is related to the Yenisei (like Ket) languages east of Lake Baikal.
The 19th century American folk belief that there is some relation to Hebrew has no basis in reality. It was incorporated into Mormon belief by Joseph Smith.
One can learn many native languages today from college classes, headstart classes, books, cds, dvds, apps and computer programs or visit a tribe such as Navajo or Hopi where the language is still living and used by many people.
Answer
Most Native Americans speak English. But some do not. On the Navajo Nation, in the southwest, it is estimated that about 2.9% of the people, mostly elderly are monolingual in Navajo. That would be about 5000 people. About 200,000 speak Navajo and English (2/3rds). Many elderly Yup'ik are monolingual as well. The last monolingual Chickasaw speaker died this year. There are about 50 monolingual Cherokee speakers. On the Crow nation about half the population speaks Crow (Apsáalooke). Cree speakers are about 70,000. Inuktitut are 36,000 (100,000 speakers of all Inuit languages). There are about 50,000 Ojibwe speakers. There are many more.
In Canada the Province of Nunavut has Inuit as its official language as well as English and French. About 69% of the population speaks it.
Also, one should note that not all Native American speaker are in the US and Canada. Mexico is also in North America and many people speak other languages than Spanish. Here are some estimates of speakers of the 12 biggest groups: Nahuatl-- 2 million, Mayan - 6 million, Mixtec-475,000, Zapotec--450,000, Otomi--285,000, Totonac--240,000, Mazatec--220,000, Chinantec- 135,000, Mixe--130,000, Purepecha--125,000, Tlapanec--120,000, Tarahumara--85,000.
Note that Native Americans do speak English but they have their own language as well. Native Americans consist of many tribes. Each Native American tribe has their own language and that tribe may or may not still speak it. There are 310 reservations in the United States but not all native American tribes have their own reservation.
