Detailed explanation-1: -How do historians learn how American Indians lived so long ago? They study their artifacts.
Detailed explanation-2: -Native American peoples throughout the Western region determined their unique lifestyle by their proximity and abundance of natural resources.
Detailed explanation-3: -The traditional theory postulates human migration across the Bering Land Bridge and then southward through a deglaciation corridor in western Canada. However, current research supports a maritime route along the southern coast of the Bering Land Bridge and Gulf of Alaska, and then southward along the Northwest Coast.
Detailed explanation-4: -The world and its natural elements, to them, were controlled by spirits. Therefore, they began to worship animals, plants, wind, water, etc. All Native American culture can determine for sure is that life is sacred, and it comes from the land, which implies that Mother Earth is also divine.
Detailed explanation-5: -They used animal skins (deerskin) as clothing. Shelter was made from the material around them (saplings, leaves, small branches, animal fur). Native peoples of the past farmed, hunted, and fished. They used natural resources such as rock, twine, bark, and oyster shell to farm, hunt, and fish.
