There are a number of Native American cultural regions. Some of the regions include Arctic, Plains, Northwest Coastal, Southeast Woodlands, Northeast Woodlands and so many more.

Answer 3

There are seven major regions where the Native Americans developed their culture: The Great Basin, The Great Plains, The Northwest Coast, The Southwest Coast, The Eastern Woodlands, and The Arctic. There is one more, though...

Answer 4

There are several different theories about how to classify the native cultures of the Americas, so you will find maps showing different cultural areas; even these should be treated with some caution, since the boundaries between cultural areas were not firm lines but blurred, with many tribes showing features of two or more cultures.

One version divides North America into 7 cultural areas (apt since the number 7 was sacred to some native tribes). These are:

• Eskimo (Alaska and across the far north of the continent to the Labrador Sea).
• Northern Athabaskan (most of western Canada except the coast).
• Northern Woodlands and Great Lakes (Eastern Canada and north-eastern US)
• Northwest Coast (coastal area of western Canada, Washington state and Vancouver Island).
• Plains and Plateau (both sides of the Rockies and the central US from the Canadian border to Texas)
• Southeast Woodlands
• Southwest (California, northern Mexico, New Mexico)

Most other versions separate the Plateau and Plains areas, while many also separate the Prairie tribes (only marginally Plains) from the true Plains tribes.

Answer 5

The term native American strictly applies to all the native people of North, Central and South America. Their cultural areas are defined in different ways and you will see maps showing various versions.

For North America (including Canada) the usual arrangements is the following:

• Eskimo or Inuit (far north of the entire continent)
• Northern Athabaskan (from Alaska to Hudson's Bay)
• Northern Woodlands and Great Lakes
• Southeast Woodlands
• Plains
• Southwest (including northern Mexico)
• Northwest Coast

This is by no means the only way of defining cultural regions. and it takes no account of language families.

Answer 6

The term "native American" applies to races of people living in Hawaii and North, Central and South America (including the Inuit and Aleut of Alaska and Canada). It is definitely notrestricted to the USA, the boundaries of which did not exist when the first native Americans spread into the region from north-East Asia. There are consequently many more than 5 cultural regions, even in the North American continent:

• Subarctic
• Eastern Woodlands
• Southeast
• Plains and Prairies
• Plateau
• California
• Northwest coast
• Great Basin
• Southwest

The Lakota, Nez Perce, Apaches and Powhatans all belong to the same race of people as the Maya of Honduras, the Kayapo of Brazil and the Tehuelches of Patagonia; the Aleuts and Inuits are considered to be a separate race of people, as are the Polynesian Hawaiians.

Answer 7

A cultural region indicates an area where all the native peoples live similar lifestyles, even if they are unrelated to each other. The Great Plains area, for example, included Algonquian, Siouan, Athabaskan, Kiowan and Uto-Aztecan peoples who all lived very similar lives - because they all relied on the same food sources, Natural Resources, climate and so on.

Geography, climate and resources such as food will generally dictate a cultural region.
