This WebQuest will help you learn about Native Americans and how they survived and flourished.  They knew how to live and get along with their environment.  You will learn about their rich cultures and traditions.  Their cultures were developed based on the natural resources of their particular environments.  Each tribe lived differently because they had to use what was on hand to make everything they needed or find it themselves.  The diversity of those cultures were seen in their homes, clothing, food supplies, tools and weapons, arts and crafts, and religious practices.
