Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Tipis are the traditional home of Plains Indians, but in other regions of the Western Hemisphere Native people lived in many kinds of dwellings, such as hogans, wigwams, longhouses, or igloos. Today over 70 percent of Native Americans live in urban or suburban areas.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Navajo were nomadic people in constant search of food for survival. The Navajo overran the Pueblo People in New Mexico and learned farming, weaving, and various crafts from them.

Detailed explanation-3: -The American Indians of the Southwest culture area traditionally lived in what are now the southwestern United States and northern Mexico.
