How did physical geography influence the development of native american societies

Geography affected the Natives in many ways. Depending on what resources they had around them, they adapted their culture to suit it. Some were nomadic and hunted buffalo, some caught fish, some ate each other There were even a few tribes that built homes into canyon walls.

interdependence is when all participating groups and individuals depend on each other. if you depend on one anothers goods, you end up trading in order to get the items you're looking for. (for ex: if i have food and you have water, we trade in order to depend on each other to live)

the indians crossed artificial boundaries, setting the stage for conflict
