Detailed explanation-1: -The Native Americans used natural resources in every aspect of their lives. 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.
Detailed explanation-2: -In central California some Indians built their homes partly underground. Desert peoples made temporary brush homes as they traveled in search of food. In northern California some Indians built houses of redwood cedar planks, like the neighboring Northwest Coast Indians did.
Detailed explanation-3: -Where does the name “Pueblo Indian” come from? “Pueblo” is a Spanish term meaning “village” or “town.” This word is used both to describe a style of building (adobe-and-stone pueblo) and to refer to specific groups of American Indians who live in pueblos and come from an agricultural tradition.
Detailed explanation-4: -The people nearest the Arctic Ocean relied on temporary houses called igloos in winter, when they moved onto fresh ice fields in search of seals. Caribou hunters and lake and river fishermen used igloos on land. An igloo was usually dome-shaped and made from blocks of snow.
