Detailed explanation-1: -Many Great Basin Indians wore little or no clothing, especially during the hot summer months. Among groups in the south and west, bark aprons and breechcloths were common. In winter rabbit-skin robes provided warmth. Peoples who lived near the Plains wore garments made from animal skins.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Northern Plains tribes wore full dresses made with two to three hides. The dresses did not have traditional sleeves, but women’s arms were covered by the legs of the hide or large yokes made with a third hide. Many Southern Plains dresses were actually two-pieced ponchos and skirts.
Detailed explanation-3: -Generally they used the hides of the animals they hunted for food. Many tribes such as the Cherokee and Iroquois used deerskin. While the Plains Indians, who were bison hunters, used buffalo skin and the Inuit from Alaska used seal or caribou skin. Some tribes learned how to make clothing from plants or weaving thread.
Detailed explanation-4: -It is a temperate desert with hot, dry summers and snowy winters. The valleys are dominated by sagebrush and shadescale. The biologic communities on the mountain ranges differ with elevation, and the individual ranges act as islands isolated by seas of desert vegetation.
