Because before we had motorized transportation- cars and trains and planes- people didn't move around as much. Cultures developed independent of each other. Think the developement of Europe. Each country has it's own language and culture. The US is geographically big!
There are many reasons for the huge number of tribal groups, all of them linked to historic and pre-historic factors.
Certain tribes split into two or more different groups within the post-1492 era (that is, in modern historic times). This is true of the Crow/Hidatsa and the Pawnee/Arikara, who were each originally one tribe; both groups relate stories of arguments between rival factions over hunted meat which resulted in one party setting off on their own to set up a new tribe.
More distantly, some migrant groups into the Americas seem to have separated in order to find more hunting grounds. This explains the distribution of some isolated Athapaskan-speaking groups in the southern USA (Navajo and Apache) with the bulk of their kindred remaining in the north (mainly in Canada).
Another factor is the basis of most native American cultures; warfare. Each tribal group would make war on its neighbours as a matter of course, since its men were raised to be warriors. In such a climate of rivalry, revenge and bloodshed there is every reason to remain separate and isolated from other groups and retain an individual cultural identity.
Another factor is food. In most tribal cultures, with hunting and gathering as the main sources of food, all other tribes were seen as rivals and a potential threat to be kept away from traditional hunting areas; this applies throughout South America as well as in the north. Each locality could only support a small number of people, leading to many small groups identifying themselves as a tribe. This can be seen clearly along the Amazon in Brazil and along the east coast of North America, where limited food resources dictated very large numbers of small local native groups.
There are many other factors involved.
For the same reason that you are different from your schoolmates, neighbors etc. Simply look at the different accents, words, and speech differences of your own tribe to see this; in New York, LA, and the southern states language patterns change to significant levels.
Native Americans were not a single society with one language, there were many different native American tribes who spoke many different languages.
Depends on where you live and who you are. Native Alaskans have a many traditons and there are many different types of Native Alaskans.
they lived in different places in north America so they had to adapt to their envirment in different ways
1,2450 native americans
Many white settlers in the USA grew to dislike Native Americans because these native peoples occupied land that the new settlers desired for themselves. Additionally:A. The culture of the Native Americans was vastly different than their own. Unsound thinking made "vastly different" to mean un American and unChristian.B. That the Native Americans would at times result to violence to keep their land and culture made them enemies of most white settlers.C. Newspapers aired a policy of hatred against Native Americans

Because the different tribes lived largely independent of each other, so Native Americans in Oregon didn't have contact with Native Americans in Delaware, thus their cultures and languages formed entirely separate from each other.

They discovered several types of Native Americans, many new animals (such as the prairie dog and armidillo), and many new plants.
Different types of iris are native to many parts of the world.
There were many different Native Americans in different parts of the country, and they had different clothing. The clothing reflected the needs of the climate of that area, and the materials that were available. In some cases clothing was made from leather, but also included fur and natural fiber from plants and wool. The needs of a Seminole in Florida were quite different from an Athabascan in Alaska.
No, while many who are Native Americans are, in fact, North Americans, there are very many who are North Americans, but not at all of Native American descent.
the relationship between deer and native Americans back then was not good because the native Americans captured and killed the deer for many different things the deer hide from them so the relation ship isn't the greatest.
