The US inherited corn, pumpkin, tomatoes, chillies, and tobacco from the native population.

Given the amount of these foodstuffs that are produced today, Native Americans are probably more important to modern US culture than most European immigrant nations.

Mexican culture is more visibly influenced by its native ancestors, so via Mexicans and “Hispanics” the US also has a strong connection.

Law is a domain that has very few native-inspired aspects, probably because it traces its roots to England and the old Saxon and French traditions, but your domain is a bit special there.

One might argue that the legal system, as it was brought by the conquerors, naturally has little representation of the conquered.
