Prior to European Contact - As native populations migrated and settled across North America overtime, they developed distinct and increasingly complex societies by adapting to and transforming their diverse environments. * What are three different ways of life for native populations?

The three different ways of life for the native population are:

Explanation:

Different native societies adapted to and transformed their environments through innovations in agriculture, resource use, and social structure.

The spread of maize cultivation from present-day Mexico northward into the present-day American southwest and beyond supported economic development, settlement, advanced irrigation, and social diversification among societies.

In the Northeast, the Mississippi River Valley, and along the Atlantic seaboard some societies developed mixed agricultural and hunter–gatherer economies that favored the development of permanent villages.

Societies in the Northwest and present-day California supported themselves by hunting and gathering, and in some areas developed settled communities supported by the vast resources of the ocean.
