Question

How did geography influence the way Native American cultures developed, explained with examples and evidence? (Think regions)

Answer 1

Here are a few examples

At the northeast, the area is mostly forested. Tribes like the Cherokee would hunt deer and made their houses out of wood.

At the southwest, it was pretty hot and dry. Tribes like the Apache lived in cliffs and used irrigation to hydrate their crops.

At the middle of the continent is the Great Plains. Tribes like the Sioux hunted bison and made teepees instead of houses so that they can move easily.

At the arctic north, there was nothing but snow. Tribe like the Eskimo lived in igloos and fished or hunted seals.
