• "central america" culture - the " " searches both words as a phrase

Native or ethnic peoples within one or more countries:

• kurd* culture - the asterisk* searches variants of the word Kurd (Kurds, Kurdish)
• inca* ecuador - searches variants of the word Inca (Incas, Incan) along with the name of a country other than Peru that has Incan heritage

Particular Aspects of a Country or Culture:

• cumbia colombia - searches  this traditional dance of Colombia
• pierogi* poland - specific part of a country's food culture
• kurd* marriage traditions - an aspect of the Kurdish people's culture
