How did the environment influence the homes and food of early native Americans?

Answer 1

It's all about the environment. The far North, there is no wood, and very little vegetation. So, the Inuit built shelters from animal skins in summer, and snow in winter. They ate mostly meat - they can get nutrition from fat, and muktuk (narwhal blubber) is a favourite - they eat it like candy. Pure fat.

Answer 2

The Native American groups lived in many different enviroments, their homews and food differred with the enviroment. Native peoples in present-day Mexico farmed, people in the Southwest had adobe homes and used irrigation to grow crops, and the Anasazi of the Southwest lived in cliff dwellings. The Northwest people had a diet of salmon, while the Inuit in the Arctic climate wore furs and sealskins and fished in coastal waters. The nomadic people of the Plains took their homes with them. The people of the East and Southeast planted and harvested crops.

Answer 3

The climate is normally the thing that influences the natives food and shelter.
