1. Early Life, East and West-Chapter 2
Native Americans of North America

2. The Eastern Woodlands
Tribes, such as the Iroquois, lived in the Woodlands region.
This area provided rich resources, such as:
Endless supply of wood
Animals to hunt for food such as deer, bear, elk, and beaver
Used skin and fur as clothing
Lake, rivers, streams supplied water and fish
Fertile soil helped Native Americans to grow corn, beans, and squash for food

3. The Great Plains
Great Plains region is a fairly flat region even today
Tribes of the great plains include the Lakota(Sioux), Pawnee, Osage, and Cheyenne.
Plains people survived by hunting and farming
They settled their villages by rivers so they could get water for their crops-corn, beans, squash, and pumpkins.

4. Plains people continued
They lived in lodges
Lodges were large round huts built over a deep hole.
Walls were made of earth (mud, clay), packed over a wood frame.
They hunted buffalo
Used the buffalo for meat, clothing, utensils, and blankets

5. Plains People continued…
When hunting buffalo, the people live in tepees
Women set up poles in a circle, their tops coming to a point.
They cover the frame with buffalo hide

6. The Cheyenne Horses were gained by the Cheyenne by:
Taming wild horses
Raiding other tribes and taking their horses
Trading with other tribes
Horses had a big impact on the Cheyenne
Made buffalo hunting easier
Made settlements more mobile, easy to move from place to place
Cheyenne placed a high value on horses because it changed their way of life by making it easier to hunt, travel, and defeat enemies in warfare.

7. The Southwest Desert Region is mostly hot and arid
Some tribes that settled in this area were the Hopi and Zuni who later were known as the Pueblo.
Life was based on farming
The Hopi today live on a reservation in Arizona where they blend old and new ways of living
Other tribes include the Apache, who were hunters, and Navajo, who raised sheep

8. Northwest Coast Tribes include Kwakiutl, Tlingit, Haida, and Nootka
Had plenty of natural resources
Forests contained cedar bark and were rich in game for hunting
Coastal waters were filled with fish and seals
Never had to grow crops because they hunted and gathered everything they needed
Kwakiutl used animal hides and cedar bark to make clothing because they were the resources that were available.
