You'll have to consider for yourself what your own thoughts are, but some of the issues were these:

The United States saw the use of the atomic bombs as a way to bring the war to an end in a way that would cost less American lives.  A land invasion of Japan would have meant many American soldiers being killed in battle.  However, the cost in Japanese lives was enormous by the use of the bombs, and that was not given equal consideration.

Another consideration was that the United States had been engaging in a fire-bombing campaign of Japanese cities prior to the use of atomic bombs. The fire-bombing campaigns were horrifically destructive also, but did not have the radiation after-effects of atomic bombings.

An option that could have been used rather than dropping atomic bombs was to enlist Soviet troops in a joint invasion of Japan.  But the USA wanted to avoid postwar Soviet presence in Japan, and the atomic bombs were seen as a way of ending the war quickly.  You can consider whether it would have been a more "moral" way of pursuing war to conduct a land invasion with Soviet assistance.

Finally, the escalation to the point of using atomic bombs was, in part, due to the Allies' insistence on an "unconditional surrender" by Japan.  A second bomb was dropped at Nagasaki after the first was dropped on Hiroshima, because Japan did not submit to unconditional surrender in the immediate aftermath of the Hiroshima bombing.  You can consider for yourself whether some other resolution besides "unconditional surrender" was a viable option for ending the war with Japan.

How did the plains Indians use the land? Did they farm? Were they nomadic ? Did they weave cloth?
Gwar [14]
<span>Indians believed that they were closely linked to the land. Anything that lives and grows in the land is put to good use. Men and women share equal parts in their tribes. Men were mostly involved in distributing the goods of their tribe to other places. Women were involved in farming and weaving clothes. Before the Europeans came in, Native Americans lived in hunting and gathering communities in small populations. </span><span>

<span>They maximize everything that the land gives them. They base their living on the kind of seasons that the environment is giving them. Their clothing comes from animals and their diet changes depending on what animals are available for hunting. They were not nomadic; they built their own small communities and protect their territories from other Native American tribes. They had no concept of owning, everything that was gathered and hunted is to be shared equally to all members of the tribe.</span></span>
