The 4 groups of Indians

Some peoples minds are like sponges that cant get enough water.I hope when you have a time you can wring out some of that knowledge on other people . Right now i ' m going to tell you about you ancestors called Indians.There are different verities of Indians.One of the four main groups of Indians are the Northwestern Indians they had a moist environment they constructed their cabins (longhouses). They had good growing season and they would hunt for fish.Some of the things they grew were corn ,tomatoes,and apples they also hunted for fish.
Another tribe of Indians were the southwestern Indians.I think the southwestern Indians were brief simple people the things they ate plants that were resistant to heat like cactus.The basic items they used were things called adobe brick.These type of Indians lived in the dessert.The dirt there was like clay so they mixed it with water and it turned into clay.The third tribe was called the western plain Indians.The western plain Indians were always moving because their main food source was Buffalo and Buffalo always roam.they also had different religions because of their resources.Their houses were sticks and tarp.
The southeastern Indians also made their houses out of wood.They also had a good growing seasons.Some of the things they grew were tobacco,corn,and cotton.They went hunting for the animals around them.This might be boring but this is what I learned in school.
Can you relate to this topic?

Hi Eddie. Here in BC we refer to Indians as First Nations. We have allot of First Nations people here. Some of the most famous First Nations tribes we have are the Salish people and the Haida. The Haida come from the Queen Charlotte Islands off the West Coast of BC. You can learn more about them at http://www.civilization.ca/aborig/haida/haindexe.html

The Coast Salish come from the South West coast of BC and the North West coast of Washington State. You can read more about them at http://www.maltwood.uvic.ca/nwcp/coastsal/intro.html
