American Indian Tribal Cultures
Clues from Place and Resources
For thousands of years, American Indian Nations developed ways of life connected to their homelands. In the Northeast, some communities, including Haudenosaunee communities, built large bark-covered longhouses where several related families could live. In the Southwest, Diné (Navajo) people built hogans using materials such as wood, earth, and stone. On the Great Plains, Lakota communities used tipis that could be taken down and moved. In the past, many Lakota people relied on bison for food, clothing, tools, and shelter materials. These examples describe particular histories, not every person or community today. Geography and climate shaped available materials and food, while people also made choices, traded, adapted, and maintained traditions.
