USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Many tribes, including the Crow and Arapaho (pronounced uh-RAH-puh-hoh), survived by following bison herds as they migrated from place to place. These groups needed homes that could be quickly taken down and rebuilt again, so they lived in tent-like structures made of buffalo skins called tepees.

Detailed explanation-2: -They were called Teepees. Other tribes lived in one place for a long time. They preferred this way of life because they could grow crops and live near rivers for a constant stream of clean water. In these communities, they developed more permanent houses named Pueblo or Longhouses.

Detailed explanation-3: -Wigwam Home Wigwams used poles from trees that would be bent and tied together to make a dome shaped home. The outside of the home would be covered with bark or other material that was available where the natives lived.

Detailed explanation-4: -The ancestors of the American Indians were nomadic hunters of northeast Asia who migrated over the Bering Strait land bridge into North America probably during the last glacial period (11, 500–30, 000 years ago). By c. 10, 000 bc they had occupied much of North, Central, and South America.
