The Iroquois Vs. The Inuits
The Iroquois were known to be from the Northeast woodlands. They were located in North America and what is now known as upper New York. The Iroquois were known for their agriculture. They grew maize, beans, squash and tobacco. Since they were close to the coast of the Atlantic Ocean they also set up fishing traps to catch fish. The Iroquois adapted to their environment by growing their own vegetables. They used natural sources such as animals and plants to make their cloth, weapons and tools. The Iroquois were also religious.

This part of the country was the most environmentally challenging part of the country because of its dry and rocky regions. The Anasazi were best known for their architectural.

    550, the Anasazi people decided to settle on top of the plateau and started to farm the land (Arnold). This was a huge change for the Anasazi because they were typically nomadic and that meant they followed a particular food source and were constantly on the move. For them to settle down in one place for a few centuries meant that they could now farm and have a somewhat steady and reliable food source and they could still hunt as well. This meant that the Anasazi could live comfortably during the winter off of the crops they harvested during the warmer season and when they weren’t harvesting, they were weaving baskets and crafting tools from bone and stone and they even crafted beautiful pieces of pottery that had intricate designs all over them (Arnold). They were also able to gain various goods that weren’t available to them at the time by trading with other people that came from far away to deliver goods such as cloth (which was very important since it provided protection from the elements) and shells…
