More on the Southeast There is a great deal of rain in the Southeast. The soil is good for growing crops. Native Americans grew corn and tobacco. Tobacco was used in ceremonies. The cypress tree grows in swamps. The roots of the tree grow out of the water and look like knees. Spanish moss grows on the limbs of trees in the South. Deer were very important to Southeast Native Americans. Southeast Indians collected shells along the seashore to trade. Southeast Native Americans celebrated a good corn harvest during the Green Corn Festival. Map

Great Plains Climate/Land rainfall varies; high winds at times; warm summers and cold winters. blizzards in winter/ land is flat; lakes; rivers; few trees Plants grassy prairies, sage; goldenrod; corn; beans; nuts; wild berries Animals buffalo; coyote; prairie dog; deer Map Click here for more goldenrod coyote Prairie dog buffalo Wildflowers prairies sagebrush

More on the Great Plains The Great Plains are a huge grassland. Snow covers the ground in winter and it gets very cold. It can be very hot in the summer. There are downpours of rain that last only a few minutes. There are rivers and streams, but very few trees. The trees grow near the rivers. Wildflowers were used to make medicine to cure stomach aches and headaches. Buffalo were very important to Great Plains Native Americans. They used every part of the buffalo. Map

Arctic Map Click here for more Climate/Land Cold. Icy winters with little daylight; everything freezes; Ocean, lakes, streams; blizzards, flat land Plants Berries; small shrubs; lichen (like hard moss) Animals Seals; walrus; polar bears; caribou, trout caribou walrus seals Polar bears whale lichen Cloud berries reindeer

More on the Arctic The Arctic is in northern Canada, Alaska and Greenland. Some Inuit moved inland in the summer to gather food like berries. Inuit collect cloud berries and mix them with seal oil, reindeer or caribou fat, and sugar to make “Eskimo ice cream.” In the fall, most of the animals went south, to warmer weather. Some Inuit moved their tribes to the shore in winter to hunt sea animals. Some people call the Inuit, Eskimos. It means “meat eaters”. The Inuit prefer the name Inuit which means “the people.” Map

California Climate/Land cool summer and wet winters, sometimes snow/ high mountains; some flat land; forest; inlets (small narrow waterway) and islands Plants pine, oak, maple, giant redwood tree, buckeye trees, grapevines, willow, tule Animals mule deer, elk, pronghorn, quail, woodpeckers, seals, clams, Map Click here for more pike pronghorn Mule deer quail tule grape vine redwoods clams acorns seals

More on California There were many different types of land in California. There were mountains, rolling hills and valleys where plants grew well. Some of the tribes lived near redwood forests, others near forests of pine, oak and maple trees. Acorns from oak trees were an important source of food. There were also swampy areas where tule grew. This plant was very useful and was used to make canoes, shelters, and even clothing. The lakes and rivers in California provided lots of fish such as pike. Branches from the willow trees were used to make cone-shaped baskets to trap the fish. Oysters and clams were picked up on the beaches along the Pacific Ocean. Map

Northwest Climate/Land Cool summer and wet winters, sometimes snow/ high mountains; some flat land; forest; inlets and islands; deep canyons (warmer), and fast rivers and streams Plants giant redwood tree, Monterey cypress, azaleas; and a variety of berries, wild carrot and potato, bitterroot, and camas root Animals puma, marmot, mule deer, elk, mountain goat, pronghorn antelope, bear, rabbit, squirrels, seals, clams, and salmon Map Click here for more redwood trees azalea puma mule deer salmon Pacific Ocean Monterey cypress marmot seals

More on the Northwest Cedar trees were the most important tree in the forest for the people of the Northwest. Almost everything was made from wood. Salmon was a very important food. Whole villages set up camp by rivers when the salmon were swimming up the river in the spring to lay their eggs. Oysters and clams were picked up on the beach. Native Americans of the Northwest gathered all the food they needed for the whole year in spring and summer. Map

Southwest Climate/Land Very hot and dry in desert. Cold in mountains. flat mesas Plants Cactus; mesquite tree; sagebrush, agave: corn: beans, juniper Animals Jackrabbit; bobcat; coral snake; coyote, pronghorn antelope, bison Map Click here for more cactus Mesquite tree agave sagebrush juniper Bob cat Jack rabbit Coral snake pronghorn antelope mesa canyons

More on the Southwest Some of the Southwest have tall mountains and deep canyons where rivers flow. The riverbeds are made of clay. The Grand Canyon is in the Southwest. Pine forests grow on the mountains. In the south is mostly desert with sagebrush and cacti. Days can be very hot and nights, very cold. There is not much rain. The most important foods for the Southwest people were corn, beans, pumpkins and squash. Map

Northeast Climate/Land Warm summers and cold winters. High mountains. Land is flat with some hills. Plants cranberry bogs; corn, beans, and squash; fir trees (pine); birch, maple, beech, elm, ash, chestnut, hemlock, and oak trees Animals Moose, caribou, white tail deer, squirrel, rabbit, beaver, porcupine, grizzly bear, and turkey Map Click here for more moose birch tree White tail deer grizzly bear Cranberry bog caribou Atlantic Ocean

More on the Northeast Map It rains often in the Northeast so plants and crops grow very well. There were often heavy snowstorms in the winter. Trout, bass, salmon, perch, pike, eels, and turtles could be found in streams, rivers, and lakes. Lakes also attracted migrating geese, ducks, and swans. Wild rice plants grew near the edges of lakes. Women would paddle their canoes to gather the rice. Northeast Native Americans celebrated a good corn harvest during the Green Corn Festival in late summer. Each spring the people of the Northeast celebrated a Strawberry Thanksgiving

Great Basin Map Click here for more Climate/Land Very hot and dry in desert; cold in mountains. little rain; lakes; rivers Plants Cactus, Joshua tree, sagebrush, nuts, berries Animals Puma, mule deer, snakes, lizard, antelope, buffalo, salmon, eagle, hawk

More on the Great Basin The Great Basin got its name because it is a region between two mountain ranges. The rivers there do not flow to the ocean. It is like a giant bowl. Flatlands have salty soil and sand. Little grows there but sagebrush. It is very dry and desert like, but cold. Piñon nuts, agave paste, berries, wild onion and carrots were often eaten. Map

Great Lakes Map Click here for more Climate/Land Summer hot and humid and winter cold and snowy; Mostly woodlands, Appalachian mountains; Great Lakes (Huron, Ontario, Erie, Michigan and Superior) Plants Corn, squash, beans, maple trees; tobacco; hemlocks; birch trees; Cedar Animals Deer, bear, fish; shellfish

More on the Great Lakes Lake water surrounds the region. Tobacco was used in ceremonies. The Great Lakes region has rivers, streams, lakes, and, most of all, trees and plants. Wild rice grew along the lakes. Women paddled birch bark canoes along the edges of the lakes. They bent the wild rice plants over the canoe and hit the plants so the rice fell into the boat. Map
