    The Coastal and Plateau Native Americans have different lifestyles in food, housing, and transportation because of where they lived. The Cascade Mountains separate the Coastal and Plateau tribes, and puts them into two different environments, caused by the rainshadow effect. Being in two different environments, means that both of the tribes are in different climates, which changes how they live. The Coastal live in a colder and wetter climate due to being so close to the Pacific Ocean. The Plateau tribe has a warmer and dryer climate since they are farther away.…

    The Southeast Indians’ jobs and roles were really structured and really effective. One of these jobs and roles are Hunters. The hunters of the group spent most of their time hunting. The hunting tools they had were Spears and Bow and Arrows. The hunters caught all sorts of animals, including bears so they were risking their lives to feed the group. A second job/role was Gatherers. These were women who grabbed herbs and fruits for the group. They used the herbs to heal wounded/sick people.

Some of the crops they grew were corns, beans, squash, and tobacco. The farmers figured out that if…

William Fyffe, although not a historian, proceeds to document the discrepancies and similarities between the Cherokee Indians and the colonials in his letter to his brother. According to Fyffe, the Cherokees valued war and orderly communication amongst one another and these cultural beliefs were rather antithetical to European culture.…
