<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>
