Native American Regions of the US
Cultural RegionsOften people living in the same area share some ways of life. Such an area is called a cultural region. People living in a place with cold weather, for example, wear heavy clothing. Many people living in a place with rich soil farm the land. Yet in North America, there were great differences even among the people of the same cultural region. Think about these differences as you read about each cultural region.
