Introduction
Long ago, North America was very different from the way
it is today. The first people arrived in North America from
Asia by crossing a land bridge that temporarily connected
the continents. Since these were the first people to live in
North America, they are known as Native Americans. Many
different cultures of Native Americans developed over the
course of time. Culture refers to the people's way of life.
Each culture was affected by the natural resources that were
available to them. Natural resources were used as tools for
survival providing such necessities as food, clothing, and
shelter.
This web quest will focus on the following specific Native American cultures:
Algonquin, Iroquois, Hopi, Navajo, Sioux, Blackfoot, Makah, and Inuit
