What were the natural resources of the Southwest Indians?

Answer 1

The Miwok tribe used different resources depending on where they were from. There are five "tribelets" that have been identified based on locations of the villages. The Miwoks who lived near the Sierra Nevada Mountains, who are usually the more often thought of, used large rocks known as grinding stones to grind acorns and other nuts into meal (like corn meal). They used any other nontoxic roots, bulbs, seeds, and fungi as food as well. Grasshoppers and mussels were highly prized to those tribes to whom they were available (again, based on "tribelet" locations). The plains and mountain-dwelling Miwoks also used the trees around them (including cedar and redwood) to create roundhouses in the villages. They fished in nearby streams, as well. They hunted deer and elk for meat.
