How did different Native American nations live before Europeans arrived?
Long before Europeans crossed the ocean, this land was already full of people — millions of them, spread across mountains, deserts, forests, and frozen coasts. And here's the part movies often skip: there was no single "Native American" way of life. There were hundreds of nations, each with its own language, its own home, its own clever way of fitting the land it lived on.
Think of it like this. If someone asked, "How did Europeans live?" you wouldn't give one answer — a fisherman in Norway lived nothing like a farmer in Italy. Same idea here. The land shaped the life. So let's travel from place to place and meet a few of these nations, one home at a time.
