Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Native American cultures developed largely as a response to environment, climate, geography, and available resources. Most Native American societies can trace their ancestry back to peoples who moved from northern Asia into Alaska and spread south across the continents.
Detailed explanation-3: -Why did Native American cultural groups develop such diverse cultures? Because the geography of the various regions were different, life in those regions became different. Separate and unique cultures developed. For example, shelter was built using materials from surroundings.
