Best Answer

Nomadic tribes were used by governments to facilitate the delivery of goods along the Silk Road, primarily because they were used to a life "on the go" and their animals, usually camels, were hardy enough to survive days without water.

Nomadic tribes were well-suited for trade along the Silk Road due to their mobility and adaptability. Their ability to traverse vast distances and survive in harsh environments made them reliable carriers of goods, facilitating long-distance trade. Their cultural diversity also enabled them to serve as intermediaries between different regions, fostering cultural exchange and facilitating the flow of goods along the Silk Road.

What does it mean when a tribe is nomadic?

Nomadic people do not live in the same place year round. Instead of setting down roots, they tend to move from place to place whenever the situation warrants it. For example, many North American Indian tribes lived nomadic lifestyles, following the large game they hunted for food and clothing. If they failed to do so, the entire tribe could starve. In man's early history, everyone was nomadic, hunting and gathering to survive. Somewhere along the way, man figured out how to domesticate animals and grow crops. Only then were the first towns and cities formed, allowing some of us to abandon the nomadic lifestyle.

Why did the nomadic native Americans move place too place?

As far as my People, the Ojibwé, we were not Nomadic in the sense of the definition. We had a home. Many crops would not grow where we called home, so we made long pilgrimages all along the Eastern United States and Canada to where the crops grew. When the harvest season was done, we travelled back home.Since all of the other Tribes did the same, we all played a game like La Crosse to determine which Tribes got what percentage of the crops. To prevent wars, no Tribe left empty handed.
