Question

8. Explain why hunter-gatherers are referred to as Native Americans?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The hunter-gather societies used the simplest form of technology to hunt and gather their food. Native Americans lived in hunter-gatherer communities composed of bands of people through kinship and marriage. The division of labor was equal between the men and women. Men would hunt for large animals and control the distribution of goods from the land, while the women would forage for fruits, nuts, tubular vegetables, and any other edible plant based food and hunt for small animals (Lenski, G., Nolan, P., & Lenski, J., 1995) and control the use of the land. Everything was shared with the whole tribe, so there was no power struggle
