Summary
The geography for all of these tribes were
different because of the climate they had. The
Pacific North west was cold so they had to wear
a lot clothing . In the Plains it is was warm not
that hot . In the Desert South west it was it was
very hot so they had to wear very little clothing
and last but not least the Eastern Woodlands it
was warm too so they didnt have to worry but the
climates did effect them all because some didnt
have that much water and some was very cold or
didnt have enough food so it was very hard for
them to survive. That was the geography for all
the tribes.
