Before European settlement, most Native peoples in North America lived in diverse environments ranging from the Arctic tundra to the deserts of the Southwest, and from the Great Plains to the forests of the Northeast. They adapted their lifestyles to their surroundings, with some tribes practicing agriculture in fertile regions, while others were nomadic hunter-gatherers. Major cultural regions included the Eastern Woodlands, the Plains, the Southwest, and the Pacific Northwest, each with distinct social structures, economies, and spiritual practices. This diversity reflected the rich variety of landscapes and resources across the continent.
