00:13

the societies of the plains region on the math toe

00:17

Live a mobile lifestyle and hear your potential answers hold

00:22

environmental threat all right let's get to it See the

00:26

plains region on the map It extends from texas all

00:30

the way up to canada Let's see why tribes in

00:32

this region preferred toe move and shake rather than moving

00:36

well permanently stage prior to european contacted societies of the

00:40

plains region live a mobile lifestyle because of it a

00:44

the cold environment of the planes which required continual movement

00:48

well that's pretty big region on the map most of

00:51

which isn't necessarily cold Where plains tribes more mobile because

00:56

of bea the threat of invasion from nearby south eastern

01:00

tribes tribes in regions like the south east had access

01:03

to lots of wood and other building materials which meant

01:06

they didn't need thio branch out as much Did these

01:10

plains tribes keep things moving because of c the guidelines

of their religious practices Well there really wasn't anything in

01:17

these religions that forbade tribes from living a sedentary lifestyle

01:22

that means societies of the plains region led a mobile

01:24

lifestyle because of de the lack of natural resource is

key to settlement in the region When we think of

01:31

states like oklahoma and south dakota we picture wide open

01:34

grasslands with very few trees But wood is necessary for

01:38

building permanent shelters So in order to survive on the

01:41

plane's early native americans were forced to move from place

01:44

to place So dee is that correct answer Once europeans

01:47

arrived in the region they used forces to help drag

01:50

lumber from other regions logging all kinds of environmental impact 00:01:53.79 --> [endTime] as they planted roots on the plane
