Did Native North Americans have connections with the Native people of Mexico?

by Komodo_Drag

Are there any Mesoamerican trading maps that show Northern natives interacting with the natives of what is now known as Mexico? Or any source, that I could learn about the connections these people had with eachother.

I tried looking for maps showing this connection. And it's just crazy to me, to think that these people had no connection to eachother, when the only thing that separates them is a border ( referring to today's border) .

Edit: why can't I see the other comments?

Yes. How extensive the connections were is a matter of debate, and for most of the United States whether or not any direct contact occurred is highly debatable, but it is firmly established that trade networks tied the American Southwest to Mesoamerica.
