Over 105,000 Native Americans live in the Southeast today. They all speak English. However, the Cherokee prefer using syllabary. Jazz is famous in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Since the Southeast is so close to the equator, it has a warmer climate than other regions. A growing season is the number of days in year when the weather is warm enough for crops to grow. Since the Southeast has such a long growing season, Southeastern farmers can grow most crops such as peanuts and oranges. Many tourists visit the Southeast every year because of it’s warm climate.
