Chapter 3 expands on our studies of Native Americans as we explore the seven Native American cultural regions of the United States. We will look at all seven cultural regions (Northwest Coast, California Intermountain, Southwest, Plateau, Great Plains, Eastern Woodlands, and Southeast) in depth while engaging in lively debates about the artifacts the Native Americans used in each cultural region. The adaptations Native Americans made in each cultural region will be examined and the role the environment plays in those adaptations will be discussed. The chapter will culminate in students being able to answer the focus question: How and why did American Indian cultural regions differ?
