American cultures developed in North America.
a. Locate where Native Americans settled with
emphasis on the Arctic (Inuit), Northwest (Kwakiutl),
Plateau (Nez Perce), Southwest (Hopi), Plains
(Pawnee), and Southeast (Seminole).
b. Describe how Native Americans used their
environment to obtain food, clothing, and shelter.
Where they lived….
Native American tribes lived everywhere in what we now
know as the United States of America. Even the Artic!
Artic/Inuit
• The Inuit tribe lived in present day Alaska and
Canada.
Northwest/Kwakiutl
• The Kwakiutl inhabited parts of California and
Canada
Plateau/Nez Perce
• The Nez Perce lived in the Pacific northwest
region
Southwest/Hopi
• The Hopi Tribe is a sovereign nation located in
northeastern Arizona
Plains/Pawnee
• The Pawnee originally were located in an area
roughly in Nebraska, South Dakota and Kansas
Southeast/Seminole
• The Seminole lived in present day Florida.
HOW THE NATIVE AMERICAN'S
OBTAINED FOOD …
Inuit Tribe
Hunter/Gatherer
• There are almost no trees in
the Arctic. There are few
plants. It is cold most of the
year. The Inuit could not
become farmers. Like the
other early people who lived
in the Arctic, they were
hunters and gatherers. In the
short summer, they gathered
berries, seaweed, and eggs.
Their main food year around
was meat

together to hunt. Originally,
Pawnee hunters would
drive buffalo onto marshy
land where it was easier to
shoot them, but once they
acquired horses, they
hunted buffalo from
horseback.

CLOTHING….
Inuit
Inuit women wore long
dresses with removable
sleeves. Inuit men wore
breechclout and leggings.
The Inuit’s also wore
moccasin boots and long
coats made of white
leather. Inuit people
frequently painted their
coats, leggings, and
dresses with fancy black
and red designs. Some also
adopted the warmer
Eskimo-style parka.
Kwakiutl
Kwakiutl men didn't
usually wear clothing at all,
though some men wore a
breech clout. Women wore
short skirts made of cedar
bark. In colder weather,
both genders wore kneelength tunics, long cloaks
of shredded cedar bark,
and moccasins on their
feet. For formal occasions,
Kwakiutl people wore
more elaborate outfits,
with tunics, leggings and
cloaks painted with tribal
designs.
Elaborate
Clothing
Breech Cloth
Nez Perce
Nez Perce women wore
long deerskin dresses. Nez
Perce men wore
breechcloths with leather
leggings and buckskin
shirts. Both men and
women wore moccasins on
their feet. A Nez Perce
lady's dress or warrior's
shirt was fringed and often
decorated with beadwork,
shells, and painted
designs.
Hopi
Originally, Hopi men didn't
wear much clothing-- only
breechcloths or short kilts
(men's skirts). Hopi women
wore knee-length cotton
dresses called mantas. A
manta fastened at a
woman's right shoulder,
leaving her left shoulder
bare.
Pawnee
Pawnee women wore
deerskin skirts and poncholike blouses. Pawnee men
wore breechcloths and
leather leggings. Men did
not usually wear shirts, but
warriors sometimes wore
special buckskin war shirts.
The Pawnees wore
moccasins on their feet, and
in cold weather, they wore
long buffalo-hide robes. A
Pawnee lady's dress or
warrior's shirt was fringed
and often decorated with
beadwork and painted
designs.
Seminole
Seminole men wore
breechcloths. Seminole
women wore wraparound
skirts, usually woven from
palmetto. Shirts were not
necessary in Seminole
culture, but men and
women both wore ponchostyle mantles in cool
weather. The Seminoles
also wore moccasins on
their feet.
SHELTER..
Inuit
• The Inuit lived in igloos made of compacted
snow and hard blocks of ice. They also build
homes made out of dirt and stones.
Kwakiutl
• The Kwakiutls lived in coastal villages of rectangular
cedar-plank houses with bark roofs. Usually these
houses were large (up to 100 feet long) and each one
housed several families from the same clan (as many
as 50 people.)
Nez Perce
• Originally, the Nez Perce lived in settled villages of earth houses. They
made these homes by digging an underground room, then building a
wooden frame over it and covering the frame with earth, cedar bark, and
tule mats. There were two styles of Nez Perce earth houses: oval-shaped
longhouses, which could be as long as 150 feet, and smaller round houses.
Dozens of families lived together in a longhouse, while only one family
lived in a round house.
Hopi
• Hopi people lived in adobe houses, which are multi-story
house complexes made of adobe (clay and straw baked into
hard bricks) and stone. Each adobe unit was home to one
family, like a modern apartment. Hopi people used ladders to
reach the upstairs apartments. A Hopi adobe house can
contain dozens of units and was often home to an entire
extended clan.
Pawnee
• Most Pawnee Indians lived in settled villages of round earthen
lodges. Pawnee lodges were made from wooden frames
covered with packed earth. When the Pawnee tribe went on
hunting trips, they used buffalo-hide tipis (or teepees) as
temporary shelter
Seminole
• The Seminole people lived in houses called chickees. Seminole
chickees were made of wood and plaster, and the roofs were
thatched with palmetto fiber. Originally, the Seminoles lived in
large villages of chickees arranged around a town square with
central buildings in it, like a meeting hall and a sports field.
