Summary
The Chinook would have a lot of trouble in the
dessert southwest because they are used to the
colder climate than the Navajo. The Mohawk would
have trouble in the Plains because there probably
not used to following a herd of buffalo around.
The food that the Navajo eat the Sioux, Chinook
and the Mohawk probably wouldnt like.
