USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Iroquois Indians used the natural resources from their environment to meet their basic needs. In the past, they hunted deer and black bear, fished, grew corn, beans, and squash, and gathered nuts and berries. Their homes were called longhouses and were made of bent wooden poles and sheets of elm tree bark.

Detailed explanation-2: -Throughout the region women wore skirts or gowns of buckskin, soft leather, or woven wool or plant fibers. Men’s dress varied from tribe to tribe but was in general quite minimal-most men wore nothing but ornaments on warm days. For protection from the rain, they had cedar-bark raincoats and a brimmed hat.

Detailed explanation-3: -From north to south the following linguistic divisions occurred: Tlingit, Haida, Tsimshian, northern Kwakiutl, Bella Coola, southern Kwakiutl, Nuu-chah-nulth (Nootka), Coast Salish, Quileute-Chimakum, Kwalhioqua, and Chinook.

Detailed explanation-4: -LOCAL NW CALIFORNIA TRIBES-The Karuk, Hupa, Tolowa, Wiyot and Yurok Tribes remain on their traditional homelands to this day. While sharing a similar cultural framework, each of these Tribes has a wholly distinct Tribal language. The Little River is the boarder between the homelands of the Wiyot and Yurok peoples.

Detailed explanation-5: -A breechcloth was a strip of soft leather drawn between the legs and held in place by looping it over a belt at the waist. In winter, both men and women wore leggings-basically, two tubes of leather or fur also attached to the waist belt-and capes or robes made of leather or fur. Both men and women wore moccasins.
