In terms of family and community structure, Native American cultures tend to place a strong emphasis on the importance of family and community, and often have extended family systems in which multiple generations live and work together.

Cultural practices related to religion and spirituality also played a significant role in both Native American and ancient Persian cultures. Native American cultures often have spiritual practices and rituals related to the natural world, and view the natural world as being imbued with spiritual power. Ancient Persia also had a strong spiritual tradition, and the Persian religion of Zoroastrianism played a central role in the culture and society of the Persian Empire.
