1. A Similarity I noticed between the Southwest and the Plains is that they both are farmers. Growing corn, beans, and squash as their main crops.

2. A difference I noticed was that in the Plains they're very socially unorganized. Mostly men having all of the power, while women and men in the Southeast would farm together sharing some power.

3. Another similarity I found was that both regions have lots of mountains, fertile land for agriculture, and is a hot climate. However the Southwest was hot year round and the Plains got cold and snowy in winters.

Similarities:

1. Both the Southwest and West tribes made the most of their environments to get food. Southwest tribes grew crops like corn and beans and used irrigation to help their farms. West tribes did a lot of hunting, gathering, and fishing. They even invented canoes to help with fishing. Both regions used their resources to trade and get what they needed.

2. Spiritual Practices: Tribes in both regions had important spiritual and ceremonial practices. In the Southwest, people prayed to gods and natural elements for help with farming and hunting. In the West, tribes also had rituals related to hunting and gathering, showing how connected they were to their surroundings.

Difference:

1. Housing and Mobility: Southwest tribes built more permanent homes because they stayed in one place to farm. For example, the Anasazi made big stone buildings. In contrast, tribes in the West, especially where resources were scarce, used more portable shelters like wikiups. This made it easier for them to move around and adapt to different environments.

One similarity between the northeast and the plains is that they use three sister farming. When corn, beans, and squash are grown together. It is a good system because the crops grow better together,

Another similarity between the Northeast and the plains that many of the tribes practice agriculture but also they are tribes that practice gathering and hunting. This is so people would always have food during the winter when food couldnt be harvested.

One difference between the Northeast and the plains is that they have very different amounts of conflicts. The Northeast didnt have as much conflicts as the plains because they had an allience formed by the Iroquois League. And the plain had conflicts because they were disconnected in organized "bands".

# data[].attributes.body
As opposed to the west, the southeast obtain much of their food and resources from agriculture, thanks to their more fertile soil and climate suitable for growing crops.

Mississippian mound societies were significantly more developed than societies in the west, and also resulted in much denser population centers.

The Cahokia lived in a city of 40,000 and was a busy and successful trade center, being the most populous city in north america for centuries; In contrast, the west was much more sparsely populated due to the varying, often arid, climates.

1. A similarity I noticed between the Southwest and the Southeast was their gender roles. Both had women participate in agriculture, while men would handle political and economic issues such as trading and governing the community

2. One difference between the Southwest and the West was a difference in trade goods. The Southwest's main goods were agricultural products such as maize, showing their lifestyle in farming-based settlements. On the other hand, The west traded mainly in salmon, due to their access to natural lakes and rivers which they used to fish.

3. One similarity I noticed between the Southwest and the Northeast was settlements. Both lived in permanent settlements based around agriculture.

# data[].attributes.body
1. A similarity between the Southwest and the West was that both engaged in trading. In the Southwest, tribes often traded and bartered amongst themselves, however they mostly stuck to trading within in their tribe. Similarly, Western tribes traded as well, but they were known to trade with other regions for specific resources such as hides and shells.

2. Another similarity between the Southwest and the West was that both had a specific currency. In the Southwest, tribes utilized turquoise, while in the West, tribes used acorns. This shows how both the tribes of the West and Southwest had some economic structure as well as involvement within their own tribes as well as other regions.

3. A major difference I found between the Southwest and West was how the tribes of each region settled on their respective land. In the Southwest, tribes practiced farming, such as the "three sisters" method, which led to the creation of more permanent and larger settlements. On the contrary, Western tribes remained nomadic, practicing hunting and gathering, and only settling on land for as long as it was plentiful.

1. A huge similarity between South west and the plains were that they both had huge draughts causing them to put more focus on hunting rather then crop farming as that was more reliable.

2. Another big similarity was that both focused a lot on religion. The people believed that praying to their crops and to things like the sun would give them luck and prevent them from having bad crops/weather.

3. A big difference was their political structure. The Plains had chiefdoms and groups that would go around making decisions as a collective. The South West had a very loose political hold on them and everyone was seen on the seem level as each other making decisions as a tribe.

# data[].attributes.body
One difference between the South west and the West native Americans is there different political structures. For example the southwest political structure is loose and absent compared to the west where they have a stable one with a system called triboulets

One difference with the Southwest and the Northeast native Americans where their geographical landscapes and features. The southwestern tribes had more arid, dry and desert terrain thus there was no appropriate soil to farm while the northeastern tribes had rocky mountains and water sources near by making ideal to farm

One similarity between the southeast tribes and the northeast tribes was there view on equality to men and to women. They both follow the rule set that men and women are equal but each gender role has specific roles thus they all pull there weight for the tribe

# data[].attributes.body
1. An economic similarity I learned between the Southeast and the West is the use of slavery at the time. In the Southeast, The Creek people used slaves for extensive labor. Comparatively, in the West, the Chinookan tribe also used slaves to complete difficult labor, but they also used those who went against the tribe as a way to pay off their debt.

2. A political similarity I learned between the Southeast and the Southwest was that both regions primarily cultivated corn, squash, and beans. Both regions specifically cultivated these foods due to environmental reasons: Both have warm and humid weather with fertile soil, making the best conditions for the "Three Sisters" to grow together. Additionally, families were classified according to their social status.

3. A social similarity between the Southeast and Southwest regions is that both practiced trading through trade hub centers. The Southwest referred to theirs as Chaco Canyon, while the Southeast had Mound Cities; this made trade more straightforward for natives and travelers.

# data[].attributes.body
1. One similarity is between the southwest region and the northeast region was the practice of corn farming. Most other tribes relied on hunting to gather food, but northwest and southwest tribes relied on the land to farm their own food.

2. Additionally, there was a similarity between the Plains tribes and the West tribes. Both of these regions used various forms of transportation to be partly nomadic. Plains tribes used horses, while Western tribes used canoes. This transportation allowed food and resources limited the scarcity of food and other resources.

3. One major difference I noticed was between the Plains tribes and the Southeastern tribes. Plains tribes constructed wikiups, portable tents made typically of bison hide. The southeastern tribes constructed chickees, buildings with thatched roofs and no walls. These chickees were more permanent, and often built around Mississippian mounds.

1. One significant commonality between the Northeastern region and other American regions, particularly the Plains, was the use of "Three Sister Farming." This agricultural method involved cultivating corn, squash, and beans together, which provided essential sustenance for the populations in these regions.

2. Another significant similarity between the Northeastern region and other areas lies in their akin social structures and gender roles. In both contexts, men and women held equal importance in society based on their contributions.

3. One difference between the Northeastern regions and other areas was the variation in their trade economies. For example, regions like the West primarily traded goods such as bison, whereas the Northeastern regions relied more on agricultural trade to sustain their economy.

# data[].attributes.body
One similarity between the northeast and the plains is the use of the three sisters system of farming. This is when corn, squash, and beans are grown together. This system is common because the tree crops grow better when they are together and they are very good sustenance.

Another similarity between the northeast and the plains is that many of the tribes practiced agriculture alongside being hunter gatherers. Doing this made sure that they would always have food. This is because if it was winter and food couldn't be grown then food could still be hunted.

One difference between the northeast and the plains is that they had very different amounts of intertribal conflict. The plains had intertribal conflict because they were organized in disconnected "bands". The northeast didn't have as much intertribal conflict because there was an alliance formed called the Iroquois League.

# data[].attributes.body
One similarity I noticed was that both the Southeast and Northeast women dealt with the crops while the men went out and hunted.

A similarity between most tribes was that women and men were seen as equals because they both had very important roles within the society.

Another similarity between the Plains region and the West was their geography. Both of them had hills and mountains and big things of water.

# data[].attributes.body
Differences/Similarities between Southwest and West

1- The Southwest tribes relied more on agriculturing and trading, while the South relied more on fishing.

2- Both the Southwest and the West had mountain ecosystems in common.

3- Both the Southwest and the West had both men and women were responsible for farming or trading, and men were primarily "head of the house."

# data[].attributes.body
1. A similarity between the Southwest and the Northwest is that they usually did not have a chief or leader of the tribe. This is because, since most of them were nomadic they would go from place to place to find food and could not establish a set location which they could rely on for food which would help them boost their economy and help them establish a political system.

2. Another similarity that I noticed between the tribe is that they both were not gold and silver economies or used a specific type of currency. They both traded products such as flour, crops, ceramics. etc. This is due to them not having a developed economy which is caused by as explained above, their nomadic lifestyle, as well as practicality.

3. A major difference I noticed is that the southwest tribes were more egalitarian in their gender roles as men and women's main roles were both in charge of tending to crops where as in the Northwest they were more complimentarian in the sense that men would go out and hunt and women would process the meat and tend to the crops. This is mostly due to the taxing nature of going to hunt for animals and carrying them back to the village which was better suited for men's larger build.

# data[].attributes.body
1. A similarity between the northeast and the plains is the use of the three sister farming system. An agricultural practice that main components consists of bean, corn and squash. The trio of plants get their name because of their usefulness when planted together, they nourish each other and grow better hence the name three sister farming.

2. A difference between the northeast region and the plains were the social status aspect of things. In the northeast, the tribes came together and to prevent intertribal wars they united into a group called "Iroquois League", the format of this group is often compared to the US constitution being an early version a couple hundred years early. Mean while the plains people were divided in the groups called "bands", these bands of people could range from 12 people to 100. this society resembled a matrilineal society.

3. A similarity between the plains and the northeast was the equality of men and women, although in the northeast women berry picked and men hunted, it was a society that had everyone equal to one another and woman were equal to men. Just like the plains in which also had women equal to men.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Political similarity - a political similarity between the Native Americans from the West and Southwest is that both regions featured a combination of Native Americans who lived in larger and more interconnected tribes as well as less populated areas featuring Natives living in smaller groups that were more selectively based around family ties than Tribal/ethnic heritage. They would also both break these large tribes of political organization into smaller groups when Natives from either the West or the Plains went hunting.

2. Social similarity - a social similarity between the Native Americans from the West and the Plains is that Natives from both regions had extensive spiritual beliefs and practices, with both performing certain rituals that they believed could give them good luck in the future. In the west, they would do this before hunting season in particular so because they believed it could help them get lots of food that year.

3. Economic difference - an economic difference between Native Americans from the West and the Northeast was that the Natives in the West used hunting and gathering to get access to the food they would eat and the goods they would trade, whereas Natives in the northeast would predominantly focus on agriculture and growing the food they would eat instead of trying to trade or get meat.

# data[].attributes.body
1. In the west, the acorn is the main use of currency and value. This is different to the plains where quantity of horses meant you have power and a person of value. Horses had much value because of the ability to be a nomadic herders and hunter gatherers.

2. Tribes in the west tended to not have any strong form of gorvernment. Instead they would have popular and strong men to make sure things went smoothly in the civilization. This is different to civiizations in the Northeast which tended to have stronger forms of government. They had republican principles and dual federalism.

# data[].attributes.body
1. A difference I noticed was the housing. For example, the tribes in the southwest had permanent housing, while the tribes in the plains had more temporary housing. This was because of how the people in the southwest were farming, which required them to stay put, while the people in the plains had to move around with the buffalo that they hunted.

2. Another difference I noticed was that in the northeast, women tended the house while men farmed, while in the southeast, the women helped plant and harvest crops. I think this difference is caused by hunting being more prevalent in the southwest, which was the men's job, leaving the farming to the women.

3. One similarity I noticed was the fact that the gender roles were similar for each of the groups, with only small differences between them. There is also a lot more equality between genders than in Europe.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Similarity and difference: I noticed that the social structures were very similar in the West and Northeast. Women were caregivers and men did the hard labor. The Southwest and Southeast were different though, women helped harvest and prepare meat.

2. Similarity: All regions had many tribes. They were all different but there were at least two.

3. Difference: The geography of all regions was different. The Southwest had canyons and flat-top mountains. The West was flat and had abundant rivers. The Northeast was mountainous and had many hills. The Southeast was flat and had access to the Mississippi River. The Plains were flat with few lakes and rivers.

# data[].attributes.body
1. One difference I noticed was that the West was different from the Plains because the West was more of a sedentary society as a result of the abundance of resources while the Plains was more nomadic.

2. A similarity I noticed was that the West and the Northeast's roles of women were the same in that they both took care of the crops.

3. Another similarity was that in some parts of the West and in the Southeast, bison was hunted as a result of some similar parts in geography.

# data[].attributes.body
1. One Similarity I noticed between the Southwest and Southeast was there social roles both these regions were hunters and gathers where the men would hunt and the women take care of the kids, crops and house.

2. A difference I noticed between the Southwest and Southeast was the geographical location. The Southwest was very hot and dry with little rainfall and severe droughts. While, the Southeast had the ideal climate for farming and had access to plenty of water along the coastline.

3. Another similar between the Southwest and Northeast was the fact they would trade goods like food and seashells. Theses items allowed them to have success.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Western and Plains tribes were similar in the sense that because they practiced mixed hunter-gatherer economies, women were homemakers, which included farming, while the men were primarily hunters.

2. Northeastern and Plains tribes differed in their political systems. Plains tribes simply believed that more horses and land meant more power, whereas Northeastern tribes such as the Iroquois had bureaucratic systems.

3. Some similarities between the Plains and Southeastern tribes had similar economies in the sense that one of their main food sources was buffalo, and apart from horses, rivers were a major method of transportation which they used for both hunting and trading.

# data[].attributes.body
1. A similarity is the plains and the southeast was that hunting was a big part of society. It was mainly the men that hunted and bison in particular was big. They would get meat as well as fur. The meat would obviously be food and the fur could be used for things like clothes and bedding.

2. A major difference was the plains didn't have a set political system while the other places did. Most of the other places had a chief or one main ruler. In the plains though, power was determined by number of horses. If a man had a lot of horses, he would have a bigger political impact than a man with few horses.

3. Another difference was the plains had something called bands while the southwest had adobe buildings. Bands were groups of people that made a village of sorts. The buildings were mainly made of earth. The southwest made adobe buildings that were like apartments. They had multiple floors so multiple families could live in close proximity.

# data[].attributes.body
1) I noticed that in the people in the plains area were very nomadic whereas the people in the southeast region where very sedentary and lived in much larger groups. I think this difference is most likely because of the environmental differences making it difficult to support a large population in once place for a long time in the plains region.

2) I noticed that in the western region they appeared to have much more hunter gatherer activity than in the southeast region. This is most likely because the area was perfect for farming and had extremely large population centers such as the monk's mound so their was less of a need for hunter gathering.

3)I noticed that in the northeast region their was much more politically diverse than the southeast region. In the northeast their was the Iroquois League that help prevent conflict in the region. While the southeast had the multiple groups they declined leaving only mostly the Cahokia left as a dominant group for a while. This is probably because their was one major group in the southeast so their wasn't the type of situation that happened in the northeast that lead to the Iroquois League.

# data[].attributes.body
1. one similarity I found was between the northeast and the Southwest were gender roles. the women primarily stayed at home or processed to crops that the man had gathered.

2. A difference between the northeast and the plains was their political system. the northeast had republican principles while the plains didn't have much pop a significant political system at all.

3. another difference I noticed was the crops grown in the northeast vs in the southeast. in the northeast, the three primary crops grown were corn, squash and beans, while in the southeast , tobacco was grown along with gathering such as hunting deer, buffalo and bison.

# data[].attributes.body
1. A similarity between the northeast and southwest regions is that they both trade with distant villages. Within the northeast, the primary reason for contact between villages was to trade for the specialties of different villages. Similarly, the southwest participated in trade and even had roads between villages. Both regions participate in trade because they both used farming and it's easier to farm smaller amounts of crops and simply trade for the remaining crops.

2. A difference between the northeast and the plains is that the plains focus on hunting and gathering, whereas farming had more success in the northeast. This is because the plains had worse climate conditions compared to the northeast, which made farming plants more likely to perish or produce less quantities of food.

3. A similarity between the northeast and west is that both regions have diverse tribes that each differ largely compared to others of the same region. This is because of the vast geographical differences between different areas of the regions. These unique locations each create different types of tribes that each adapt to their location.

# data[].attributes.body
One similarity I found between the northeast's geographical features and the southeast's geographical features is that they both stayed and settled to grow crops.

A difference I noticed between the northeast and southwest was that there wasn't as big of a political system in the southwest as there was in the Northeast.

One last similarity I noticed was that the plains and the northeast traded for their economy to collect different goods that could be grown in different regions.

# data[].attributes.body
1) One difference I noticed was that the northeast is very diverse in the way that it has trees, valleys, and hills. However, the plains are the exact opposite in the fact that they are... plains, which is just flat land

2) Another difference I noticed was between the Western Tribes and Northeastern Tribes. Both tribes had different social relations within the region they were from. Western tribes were more preservative, while Northeastern tribes traded a lot and spread.

3) One similarity I noticed was that the Northeastern and Plains had the same agricultural society. They both practiced hunting and farming. They would farm a lot to get enough food for winter.

# data[].attributes.body
1. In the plains there economies were built up through hunting and gathering mainly the hunting of bison for its wool and food. While in the Southwest they depended for the grand majority on farming as there are a was very arid and there best area for survival was growing their own food instead of looking for food throughout the dry area. There styles of economies are very different because they lived in very different areas that required different to survive.

2. In the Southwest the area was always very dry and arid that often caused droughts. In the plains they did not have a lot of heat and even got snow in the winters. They had to have different farming styles so that there crops could survive in their very different weathers.

3. In the Southwest their government was a legislative counsel in which they would vote on decisions. In the Southeast they had chiefdoms in which your rank in society was based on how related you were to the chief. The different places had different beliefs and ruled their societies accordingly to what their religion and traditions were.

# data[].attributes.body
1. A difference I saw was between the plains and the southeast Is their economics While southeast was more focused on farming crops the plains where more nomadic due to the plains having a dryer climate that prevented them from mass production of farming while the southeast had a cooler climate which allowed them to grow lots of crops like beans squash corn and tobacco

2. A similarity I saw was between the plains and the west they used the same type of social grouping using bands to move together and work together while they both used bands the west used it differently from the plains using triblets and these groups would be based more around family holding up to 1,000 people while plains used bands as a public grouping people came and went and sometimes multiple bands would group together.

3. Another similarity I noticed was the plains and the southwest have similar climate and have similar geographical features they both had mountains and flat land around the entire location but while the southwest had droughts and a lot of dryer climate the plains where cooler and even had snow

# data[].attributes.body
1. One difference I noticed between the Southeast regional and the Plains region was the sedentary lifestyle in the Southeast and the nomadic lifestyle in the Plains. In the Southeast, most societies grew crops and established permanent settlements, while the Plains region mainly hunted and gathered. This is because of the fertile soil, warm climate, and access to water in the Southeast easily led way to agrarian societies, while the arid, flat Plains suited hunting animals such as bison.

2. Another similarity I noticed was between the Southeast and Northeast regions, in how tribes interacted with each other. In both the Southeast and the Northeast, tribes grouped together into larger, permanent societies. For example, many of the Northern tribes formed alliances into the large Iroquois Confederacy, while in the Southeast, huge cities were established (such as in Cahokia) with massive populations.

3. Finally, a difference that I noticed between the Southeast and the Northeast was the political organization of tribes. In the Southeast, most tribes were led under a chieftain, and social status was determined by one's relation with the chieftain, while in the Northeast, the Iroquois Confederacy served as a democracy, with republican principles and a dual system of federalism. This may be because of how the Iroquois Confederacy was formed - as a possible solution to intertribal conflicts in the Northeast - which lead towards a more balanced, democratic government in order to maintain peace.

# data[].attributes.body
1. One big similarity between the southeast and the southwest is that both were subject to droughts because of their climate and weather.

2. Gender roles in the West and Southwest were very similar. Men hunted and gathered food and were the main people in government and women cared for the house and the children.

3. One difference between the Northeast from most other regions is that they had a lot of violence within the tribes, whereas in the other region they was not as much violence recorded.

# data[].attributes.body
1. similar to the northeast, the Plains used the three sisters method(beans squash and corn) for their food sources

2. another similarity is the roles that gender played in their society, the men whent and worked wile the women took hare of the home.

3. the difrance between them is the housing that they built, the plains would built Types and the North East would build long houses

# data[].attributes.body
1. The first similarity I noticed was between my region, the west, was with southeast. I noticed that they both had very plentiful climates and resources. Both didn't have struggles finding trees to help build shelter, and both had good, fertile soil to grow crops with. They were both also very hot and experienced drought.

2. A difference I noticed between them was that in the west there wasn't a chief or anyone in particular ruling another. In the southwest, there was a ruler, a chief with social statuses.

3. Another similarity was that both regions had groups of people that would hunt, farm, and roam together.

# data[].attributes.body
1. One similarity between the Plains and the Southeast is that they both traded, hunted, and farmed. Both had access to water, which means traveling is easier.

2. One difference between the Plains and the Southwest tribes are that the Plains tribes were nomadic, and the Southwest tribes were sedentary because they needed to improve their irrigation systems.

3. In the Northeast and the West, geographic similarities such as hills and rivers are similar to those in the Plains, which explains why they all had a good food source of fish. They also had an abundance of wildlife.

# data[].attributes.body
1. One difference between the West and the Southwest are that the Southwest relied on the trade of food and items such as turquoise and seashells, while the West relied on items produced by labor work such as bison.

2. One similarity between the West and the Northeast are that both rely heavily on hunting in order to provide food for their communities.

3. One similarity between the West and the Southeast are that both had large access to food through using rivers to fish for salmon and other animals.

# data[].attributes.body
1. The northeast and southeast were very similar in their farming practices. They both farmed beans, maize, and squash. This was because they both had arable land to rely on farming.

2. A difference that I noticed between the northeast and southeast was their government structures. The northeast had an alliance called the Iroquois League but the southeast had a large city called Monks mound. They are different because they had different social beliefs. The northeast needed to be able to interact and collaborate with neighbor tribes and the southeast were okay on their own.

3. Another difference I noticed was the northeast having a democracy and the southeast having chiefdoms. This was different because the northeast needed an alliance to stop violence and the southeast needed a specific leader in their individual tribes.

# data[].attributes.body
1. One particular thing I noticed with the west and the Plains was they also hunted things like bison.

2. Agriculturally the northeast and the southeast is they planted beans, corn, ad squash, called the 3 sister farming.

3. A similarity between the west and the north east were the 3 sisters crops which were grown in both areas.

# data[].attributes.body
1. One difference I noticed between the Northeast region and the Southeast was that the Northeast was more centered around hunting and gathering and the Southeast relied more on fishing and activities consisting of more water because of their location being closer to bodies of water

2. One similarity between the Plains and Northeast are the methods of hunting. With the vast majorities of land it made it much easier for both regions to hunt and gather compared to other regions.

3. One difference I noticed between the Northeast and the Southwest is the trading. The southwest traded materials such as food like the northeast but also traded materials such as turquoise and seashells.

# data[].attributes.body
One similarity that I noticed is that the west and the Plains both had societies in which Bison were vital to daily life. They would eat the Bison, wear the Bison, and they would use the Bison's power.

Another similarity that I noticed is that multiple societies used the same basic idea of housing. If they moved around, the houses would be very temporary. In areas with agriculture, they would build permanent homes.

A difference I noticed is that the west had no major political structure. Some societies has clear leaders, or a clear legion, with the Great League of Peace.

# data[].attributes.body
1. One Similarity I found between our group and the Northeast, is that both societies practiced mound building. This is likely because they had similar geographical features so they were able to do things like that.

2. One Similarity I found between our group and the west was that we both replied on hunting, gathering, and fishing. This is because of the fact that we both had areas near water sources and that was just the way that our tribes got food.

3. One similarity between our group and the southwest is that both of the women's roles were to help with farming. A difference is that for us, the men likely helped too, but in the Southwest, men took part in the community and other local roles.

# data[].attributes.body
One similarity between the southwest region and the plains region was the landscape and how they had mostly mountains and cold winters.

A difference between the southwest region and the plains regions was that the summers in the southwest region were very hot and dry whereas the plains region had cooler summers and it wasn't overly hot.

A similarity between all regions is that they had made things with what they had available where they lived , such as houses, huts , and many other things.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Alot of areas in this region farmed the same ampunt of crops. I think this is becuase tehy were all introduced to the ame thigns to work with based on wetaher conditions and its what has worked fo thme in the past so they continue to farm these basuc food that keeps their people from famibne.

2. the southeast are religion is un identified but based on the areas around themit was probably based on nature. MOst of the natiuve american tribes based religion on nature becuse they relied in it to live andit helped them with housing and famering.

3. I think its very interestng how once a couple got married the couple would move into the womens mother home. i think this is becyase of inhertunace and women ddi help alotin the house hold so living with the prime mother makes sense.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I noticed the plains and southwest both practiced religious practices. This is probably because they wanted to honor the land/spirits

2. A difference between the plains and the west were that the west had houses called pickups with were easily able to transport, but the plains had house built into the dirt

3. A difference between the west region and the plains is the way they collect food. The tribes in the plains were mainly hunters, whereas the western tribes were agricultures

# data[].attributes.body
1. I noticed one difference between northeast and southeast natives was their gender roles. In southeast societies men would typically hunt, fish, trade, or something like that and the women would take care of planting and harvesting crops. However, northeast societies had men taking care of farming and women staying home to take care of house work and raise children.

2. I noticed one similarity between northeast and southeast was that both societies relied on agriculture. The northeast tribes grew maize, squash, and beans while the southeast mainly relied on maize.

3. I also noticed that the northeast and west tribes had a difference in their economy's. The west relied on trade of many items especially salmon and the southeast relied on the cultivation of crops like maize.

1. The Southern east and plains societies both had trade on the Mississippi River.

2. A similarity is that the southern east and west both incorporated family political, social aspect in their tribes.

3. A difference is that the southern east was near the Mississippi river, so they had easier access to water. However, the plains had less access to water.

1. One difference that I noticed between the west group and the plains group was how the plains group were mainly nomadic people who relied on hunting and gathering. The west however mainly relied on the rivers and oceans close by for fishing and trade.

2. A similarity I saw between the northeastern and the west was that they both used slavery to help with labor and hunting.

3. One difference between the plains and the southwestern geography is how the plains were very flat, dry, and dusty, while the southwestern region was very green, with cold winters, warm summers, and arid soil.

# data[].attributes.body
1. One Difference I noticed was how different The houses in the plains and in the southwest were. This is because the plains is much colder than the southwest and they needed to keep the heat in.

2. One similarity I noticed was how much most of the tribes relied on hunting and gathering. This is because in some areas it was hard to farm crops.

3. Another difference I noticed was how the gender roles were reversed in some areas and how the women were more important than the men. How in the North east the women had more power and say then in the plains.

1. The social structures of the west and plains were similar because of the bison in both areas. The West wasn't all coastal mountains. A lot of it was plains.

2. Each society had a different type of material for housing because of the different climates. The adobe houses prevented dust, the wood prevented cold, and the mud prevented the wind.

3. Fishing and hunting were very valuable practivces that brought mass amounts of materials for the people.

1. Something that was different between my group, the north east, and most other groups was that religion was not as important. This might be because of the tribes in the north east having republican principals.

2. A similarity I noticed between my group and every other group is that they either had hunting or gathering. My area had both but each was somewhat similar to the other despite the geography.

3. Another difference that I noticed was no other area had a "political system" like the north easts Iroquois league. This might be because of a uniquecway that tribes in the north east resolved tension.

# data[].attributes.body
I noticed that the West and Northeast are similar in a couple of ways including that they are both located by mountains.

I noticed the Northeast had very little religion compared to all the other areas.

The southwest tribes were a tribe that was not nomadic compared to the times from the west that moved around a lot.

# data[].attributes.body
1. A similarity with the Northeast I noticed was both areas were heavily based on the agriculture of maize. Another similarity is both groups were based around a river, for southeast it was the Mississippi, and the northeast was the ohio river. A main difference was the approach to their politics, the northeast was based in a democracy and southeast was chiefdom.

2. In the Southwest a difference was the climate where it was relatively dry and in the southeast it had plenty of rainfall. Another difference is the use of irrigation systems in the southwest, because the southeast was based on a river, there wasn't a need for irrigation. A similarity is both regions grew maize.

3. A similarity with the west region was the agricultural use of the local rivers, West was the Colorado river. A difference is the practice of slavery where the southeast didn't use slavery. Another difference is the economy, the West used acorns as currency and the southeast used trading areas for their economy.

# data[].attributes.body
One major difference I noticed between the Northeastern and Plains tribes was in their economy. In the Northeast, the tribes for the most part, settled down and began to focus on farming. They mainly farmed the group of three crops called the three sacred sisters, corn, squash, and beans. However, in the plains, the tribes located there did not farm all that much.

An additional major difference among the tribes that I noticed was the vast differences in climate and weather and other geographical differences. I noticed that the Plains, compared to the Northeastern area, were almost never farmed on and if they were, it was done so with the help of an irrigation system. This was likely due to the lack of rainfall and the only real and main source of water consisting of bodies of water such as lakes and rivers.

The third and final difference I noticed between was between the Northeastern tribes and the Southwestern tribes. This difference was the way that their politics were structured. The Northeastern tribes after a large conflict had established a council which was the first democracy in The Americas but it was run equally by both men and women. Contrastingly, in the Southwestern tribes which did also have a large council known as a Band, it was mainly patriarchal and was mainly run by men rather than equally among men and women.

# data[].attributes.body
1. A similarity I noticed is that there were similar ways of living life between the southeastern tribes and the southwestern tribes. As well as basin and corn were huge in every area and the main topic. This exists because it's in every area.

2. A difference I noticed is that the Native American in the Plains would built their homes from grass and the Native Americans in the west made homes and called them wikiups. This exists because theres different elements in the areas.

3. Another difference I noticed was that is trade. Some areas just as the plains would trade elaborate baskets for metals and furs. While the southeast would trade stone and clay for soapstone and flint. This exist because there are different things in different areas to trade.

# data[].attributes.body
One similarity I noticed is that the plains and the West had similar cultures and stayed organized in groups that got along over certain practices

One difference I noticed is that the plains would level their power based on how many horses someone had, while the south councils of males from the tribe would get together to make decisions on the community.

One last difference I found is that the plains and the western regions would hunt/gather versus settling down.

# data[].attributes.body
1. A similarity between the Plains and Southwest was that they both had council groups called Bands. These groups would make decisions for their tribe to spread power evenly among the tribes and to promote egalitarianism.

2. A difference between the West and The Plains is that The West had houses called wickiups that were easy to transport and construct, but the Plains had sedentary houses made of grass that were purposely placed by rivers and crops.

3. A difference between the Plains and Southeast tribes is that the Plains consist of one river and The Rocky Mountains, but the Southeast has an abundance of rivers. The Southeast also has a climate that supports the growth of crops all across their land with a lot of rain and sun, but The Plains only grow crops near their rivers because of their dry climate.

# data[].attributes.body
A difference between southwest and the south east was their climate and how it effected their farming. A similarity between the south west and the plains are that they both practiced religions and ceremonies. The final similarity is with the Northeast having similar governments to the south west

# data[].attributes.body
1. One difference I noticed between the Southeast and Southwest is the Southwest has a dry, hot, and arid while the Southeast is known for being humid, full of rainfall, and had tons of swamps and marshes.

2. One similarity I noticed between the Southeast and the Northeast is they both value the cultivation of corn as well as trading networks. Both of these places reply on trading as well as farming. Along with corn, they both cultivate beans and squash.

3. Another difference I noticed is the West and the Southeast both are rich in natural resources. They both have great soil for farming as well as geographical features like rivers. They both use these resources to survive and adapt to their climates.

# data[].attributes.body
1. One similarity between the southwest and the southeast tribes are they both host ceremonial gatherings with some religious aspects.

2. Another similarity between the southwest and southeast both heavily relied on maize though in the southwest they grew off irrigations system while the southeast had water-access.

3. A difference between the southwest and the southeast is they waythey governed. The southwest used a tribunal governance of a council, while the southeast had a family-ranked society ran by chiefdoms.

# data[].attributes.body
1. One similarity between the West and the Southeast is that the West and the Southeast both would use rivers for trading, goods.

2. A huge difference between the West and the Southeast is that in the West people would be in something called a tribelet, but in the Southeast, they formed chiefdoms, in which families were ranked by social status.

3. One small difference is that the Southeast would trade clay, stone, Flint, and soapstone. However, in the West people would trade for furs, salmon, and shells using acorns as a ¨currency¨.

# data[].attributes.body
One similarity I noticed between the Northeast and Plains regions was the exchange of local commodities as currency. The northeast traded the "three sacred sisters" which they has in surplus, as the Plain would exchange hides and dried meats, typical for the food in their region.

One difference I saw was how political power was acknowledged. The plains would rank power based on how many horses one had, whereas in the southeast, councils of males from the tribe would come together to make decisions on behalf of the community.

Another difference between the plains and the western regions was that the plains practiced hunter-gathering, following their food, whereas the western regions of Indians settled down for agriculture and the cultivation of maize.

# data[].attributes.body
1. While the Southwest and Northeast were very far apart, they had some key similarities. Specifically, both societies shared similar gender roles. Men tended to hunt more, while women focused primarily on farming and taking care of the house and family.

2. However, geographically speaking they could not be more different. The Northeast had a plethora of resources that made it easier to participate in agriculture such as access to many rivers, an ocean, and an overall cooler climate. The Southwest, however, was very hot and not supportive of agriculture so the tribes there had to be innovative in order to overcome their environment.

3. Finally, the Northeastern tribes often used rivers to travel to other villages in order to trade. However, the Southwestern tribes were not known to participate in trade through rivers, but through networks of roads.

# data[].attributes.body
1. The Southwestern and Southeastern indigenous societies retain comparative sedimentary lifestyles. Natives within both cultures, consequent to the local environment and weather, attained suitable soil for agriculture and farming.

2. The Plains and Western retained an extremely similar culture, being organized in distinctive groups who bonded over common practices.

3. Western native tribes tended to accommodate an equal culture in regard to gender and social status, having no set ruler. In contrast, the Southeastern natives had set political structures called Chief-doms, in which families were divided by social status.

# data[].attributes.body
1 Difference - In the West salmon was a huge trading resource while in the plains it was mostly dried meat and hides.

2 Difference - The natives of the plains rejected formal authority and territory while the South West were very territorial.

1 Similarity- Money wasn't a thing for these tribes, so they used acorns, shells, and food as currency

# data[].attributes.body
1. One difference between the west and the southwest is that the south west is much more dry and humid. The west had plenty of water, while south west tribes had to built elaborate irrigation systems to get water.

2. Another difference between the west and the plains is their economy. Tribes in the west traded along rivers, mostly with salmon or acorns. The plains would trade or take horses. The amount of horses you had signified your wealth, and was a huge part of their economy.

3. One similarity between the west and the northeast is trading on rivers and building boats to utilize other communities trade networks.

# data[].attributes.body
1) One similarity between the Plains and the West is that the Native American tribes in these areas both built their homes and settlements by using earth/dirt to cover their buildings.

2) One similiarity between the Plains and the Northeast is the activities of Native Americans. In both of these regions, Native Americans used hunting and gathering primarily in comparison to other methods and agriculture.

3) One difference between the Plains and the Southeast is the methods of cultivation. In the Plains, Native Americans used agriculture techniques and found their farmland in flat areas. In the Southeast, Native Americans instead used the slash-and-burn method to adapt to the land they had.

# data[].attributes.body
1. A similarity I noticed was between forms of government. Many tribes had local government (aka early democracy) and had leaders like chiefs or priests that the people looked up to during the debate or discussions.

2. A difference i noticed was in the way that each tribe built their civilizations. Some built houses out of clay or stone while others took trees and foliage and made huts. Each society (unless small and nomadic) had a large hut that was a public meeting place or something similar yet each was created in a different manner.

3. Another similarity i noticed was that throughout all the tribes the person with the most stuff (horses, buffalo, corn) was usually the person with the most power.

# data[].attributes.body
1. A similarity between the West and the Northeast was that they both practiced hunting and gathering around bodies of water, specifically rivers.

2. A Difference Between the Plains and the West was that the Plains hunted larger game such as bison, while fishing was more dominant in the West region.

3. A similarity between the west and the northeast was that both regions had large rivers that run through them making it easier for trade.

# data[].attributes.body
1.Southeastern tribes had lots more areas to go to because of less geographical features but Northeastern had lots of geographical features such as Mountains limiting them to certain areas

2.The west region had very drastic weather which made living and farming difficult compared to the Northeast which had a very temperate climate ad much easier access to waterways and farm able soil.

3.The Northeast was similar to other areas such as the east because of their advanced political and social situations which both were advanced compared to other tribes.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I noticed that socially the Northeast and the West were very similar. The men had the roles of hunting while the women stayed at home and took care of children and prepared the food.

2. A difference I learned was that the southwest tribes had a council. The natives in the west were not very politcally involved. They had tribelets but thats about it.

3. The Plains had horses while the west did not. The west had buffalo but did not mention horses.

# data[].attributes.body
1. The Southwestern native American societies and the southeastern societies had similar sedentary lifestyles. People of the Southeastern Native American societies built mounds as a form of protection and housing because they lived close to the Mississippi river, the soil was rich and fertile, the air was tropical and humid, perfect for farming and growing civilizations. The Southwestern Native Americans built houses of Adobe rock, because they had access to fertile soil despite having a dry environment. They both built stationary societies and communities to to their abundant access to farming land and soil.

2. In the west, native American settlements tended to house communities where most people had equal social status and no set ruler. Most communities were compromised of small families and tribelets, moving around for hunting and gathering purposes never found much need for set laws or systems. Contrarily, the Southeastern natives had set political structures called Cheif-doms, where families were divided by social status, while Cheifs power was indicated through their clothes, housing, and wealth.

3. Both the Southeast and Northeast Native American settlements were based upon the tropical, warm, and fertile farming land. Both communities had an abundance of access to water from rivers and had set irrigation systems for farming.

# data[].attributes.body
1. One difference between the west and the southeast is that in the west there was no set ruler rather there would be groups of people working together. With the southeast there would be a chief and had your social status being based on your relation to the chief.

2. A similarity between the plains and the west is that they both had the people organized in groups that were bonded culturally and lived and worked together.

3. The difference between the west and southwest is the climate. The southwest had frequent droughts while the west had plentiful water. Through this difference though both places had fertile soil.

# data[].attributes.body
1. One similarity I noticed between the Southeast region and the West was the utilization of trade networks and the practice of enslaving members from other tribes. They both sold similar commodities ranging from argriculture products, such as corn, to other products such as Buffalo skin, soapstone, and flint. However, the West region built canoes that gave them an advantage when it came to marketing and selling fish. This was because they resided closer to rivers.

2. One political difference between the Southeast region and the Plains is that the latter consisted of no definitive political structures while the former consisted of a pretty strategic governmental system, (chiefdoms) which included rank, social status, etc. This could possibly be because the Plain region tribes were more nomadic and accustomed to traveling, while the southeast region was more permanent.

3. One similarity between the Southeast and Northeast is the access to fertile soil and the prosperity of crops. This was because of the climate and access to waterways. Therefore, both regions welcomed systems of agriculture and shifted away from the traditional hunting and gathering.

# data[].attributes.body
1. A geographical difference I noticed between the Plains and the Southeast is that the people in the Southeast were to farm much more than those in the Plains. This is most likely due to the rivers and climate that allowed for farming.

2. One political similarity I noticed between the Plains and the West was that, although there were groups known as triblets and bands respectively, there was little to no solid political structure and there were no definitive leaders.

3. An economic difference I saw between the Plains and the Northeast was that the economy of the Plains was largely based on hunting such as buffalo, better hunting locations and horses that helped them get an upper hand over other tribes while the Northeast was mainly focused on commodities such as beans, corn and squash. This is because the geography of the Plains was better suited towards hunting while the geographical features of the Northeast allowed for farming.

# data[].attributes.body
1. The Southeastern Tribes had areas include flatlands, rivers, and valleys, but the Northeastern Tribes area were rolling hills, mountain ranges, and the Appalachine mountians. This makes the Northeastern limited to flatlands, because of hills and mountains, but the mounds were for burial or ceremornial purposes.

2. The West region, the weather changes often and impacted the diverse environment and more diverse system of agriculture due to biomes formining. Unlike the Northeast, temperatures were cooler due to the coast or river valleys that cool down the Northeasten tribes. The West region had lots of fertile land, however the Northeast had accessible waterways which had fertile land that was perfect for farming.

3. Plaines political system were seperated into small groups, one having a dozen to a few hundreds of people who lived, hunted, and traveled together. But there were no political structures, all though there were some tribal group disputes both land and material. The Northeastern had ongoing conflicts between the Iroquios and Algonquians with many other tribes that were participating. Until the Great Leauge of Peace lasting three-hundred years, the Iroquios were trying to fix the ongoing conflicts in the region.

# data[].attributes.body
1. The Southeast tribes were farmers as well as participants in hunting and fishing. They were able to practice river and sea fishing due to their proximity to the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico. This privilege was not available for tribes in the Plains, because they had no access to such water sources and relied on hunting and gathering alone.

2. One similarity between the Southeast and Western tribes was that they both possessed organized political structures. They were both organized into somewhat smaller groups, made up of 1000 or less people, who were defined by who their leader or chief was.

3. A similarity between Southeast and Southwest tribes was that they both believed in a spiritual connection between their land and higher power. They both worshiped and prayed for crop yield abundance.

# data[].attributes.body
1. A similarity I noticed between the Southeast and the Northeast was that both of these regions utilized farming as their central source for food. However, the southeast had relied on agriculture for much of its' time because the climate and fertile soil was perfect, while the northeast relied on hunting and gathering for much of its lifespan until acquiring the resources to shift their societies towards agriculture.

2. A Similarity I noticed between the Southeast and West was how both areas' tribes utilized slavery. In the west the Chinookan used slavery to help complete tasks and this was similar to Southeastern tribes like the Cherokees, Choctaws, Chickasaws, Creeks, and Seminoles, who all used slavery.

3. A difference I noticed between the Southeast and the Southwest was their housing. Southeastern tribes built permanent mounds in the ground due to their agricultural, immobile life style. On the contrary the Southwest built temporary stone and adobe houses due to their nomadic hunter and gatherer life style.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Difference Plains and Southeast. The civilizations in the plains would tend to move around while the ones in the Southeast would mainly stay put this is because the Southeast were were able to use their resources to survive all year long while the plains had to move around to survive.

2. Difference West and Northeast. The difference is the amount of climates, while the West had many different climates, the North East had one main climate.

3. Difference Southwest and Southeast. They had different ways of survival, the Southeast went hunting and fishing, while the southwest mainly farmed, which the Southeast also did but not as much as fishing and hunting

# data[].attributes.body
1. The West and the plains geography was very different. In the west, there was lots of rain and cool weather making fertile soil. Tribes in the west mainly stayed in one place for agricultural reasons. While the plains was very dry, they mainly were hunters and gathers. They would ride horses and often move around for hunting purposes.

2. The southeast and the plains both did not have a currency, but they both would trade things with equal value. For example, in the Plains, tribes would breed and trade horses.

3. Southwest and Northeast had similar gender roles. Woman would work in the home, take care of children and process the crops, while men would plant and harvest or in the Northeast, make decisions in an informal council.

# data[].attributes.body
1. A social similarity between the southeast and the plains is that both of their religious beliefs revolve heavily around nature. They would host rituals and ceremonies to worship the land around them and the gift that it was to their culture.

2. A difference between the southwest tribes and the plains tribes is the lifestyles they lived. Because of a surplus in food, the southwest tribes were fortunate enough to live a sedentary lifestyle, while the tribes in the plains were forced to be nomads, moving around the terrain as the seasons changed.

3. A geographical difference between the northeastern tribes and the southwestern tribes was the natural resources that were available to both. The northeast was very fertile with lots of trees to harvest and rich soil. This made access to wood much more convenient, while tribes who lived in the dry south west had little to no access to wood. This led them to create their homes out of adobe to substitute for this limited natural resource.

# data[].attributes.body
1. The Southwest and the Plains were very different due to their geographic situations. In the Southwest, their houses were carved out of rock and the people in that area lived a stationary life. That is very unlike the Plain as the people in that territory lived a nomadic life, yet there were Southwest tribes that did pop up that were nomadic.

2. In the Northeast, people and women had different roles where men went out to farm and women took on more domestic tasks. This is very different from other regions like the plains where things were more egalitarian where men and women had very similar roles.

3. A similarity I noticed was between the plains and the west. Both societies were able to create extensive trade networks in their own regions.

# data[].attributes.body
1. A similarity between the Western and the Southwestern Native American tribes is that they both prayed for abundance concerning hunting and agriculture. They believed that nature was closely associated with their spiritual beliefs.

2. Both the Western and the Plains tribes relied heavily on bison and buffalo for trading purposes. They would harvest the hides and meat for economic advantages.

3. In Western areas, tribes had access to rivers and waterways in order to fish. In the Southwest however, it was very dry and arid, so they were not able to hunt for the same kinds of animals.

# data[].attributes.body
1. A similarity I found between the Southeast tribe and the Western tribe was that they both followed the social tradition of the men marrying their wives and then moving in with their mother-in-law. This was very uncommon and was something that I found very interesting.

2. A similarity I found between the Western tribes and the Plains was how they liked to separate into groups or tribelets, to efficiently hunt, farm, harvest, etc.

3. A difference I found between the Northeast and the Plains was their geographical features, for example, the Northeast was a lot more mountainous and diverse, while the Plains were a lot more uniform and had more grasslands and hills.

# data[].attributes.body
1) Both Southwest and Northeast utilized the Three-Sister Farming system when applied to farming and trade. The Three-Sister farming system is the planting of Corn, Beans, and Squash which when farmed together benifited the growth of all crops.

2) The West and Plains region share the similarity of both being split into small groups consisting of around a dozen to hundreds of people. However they are different because in the West the different groups are fairly similar with their practices, while in the Plains the groups are very different.

3) The Southeast and Southwest regions shared the similarity of urban trade hubs and centers. The trade hubs were where most trade took place, and brought buyers and sellers together.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Compared to the other reigons, the tribes in the plains had a lot less centralization, as the envroment of the plains often required tribes to move around a lot more due to the heat, lack of water, and reliance on the bison as food an material sources

2. One simularity that the plains tribes shared with others, particularly the southeast, was the reliceace on buffalo and bison as source of food and garments

3. A difference between the southeast trines and the plains were that the plains had very little, or at least very limited forms of government/social sturcture, while southeast tribes had extensive cheifdoms ridgid soical structure

4. another simularity between the plain tribes and the northeast was how both eras shared a reliance on three sister farming. the plains were not as fertile as the northeast, but they both grow beans, squash and maize as growing all of those toeghter helped enrichen the soil and the other plants

# data[].attributes.body
1.) A difference between my region and The Planes is that their societies relied heavily on Buffalo. Where as the west had a lot a geographical diversity having different tribes rely on a variety of things.

2.)In the Southeast families social status was shown by distance of your house from the chiefs. Which is different from the more rigid social structure of the West.

3.)A similarity between the Southwest and the West is that they both had extensive trade networks. The Southwest primarily exported Turquoise and The West Buffalo Skin and Maize.

1. In the South east the tribes build these mounds for many different uses. Most of the time it was a political structure or a religious or worship center. What is known as the Poverty Point is a Main sacred point for worship/religious purposes.

2. In the west the weather changed all the time which created diverse environments and even more diverse systems of agriculture. The soil was very fertile due to the plentiful water sources.

3. While in the Plains region, they were very scarce on water. They had to figure out ways to grow crops and keep the soil fertal. So in this area the natives were mostly hunter/gatherers.

Many of the similarities and differences is due to climate and the geographical structures of the land. While some regions are scarce on resources and have to hunt for food, The other side is able to grow crops and make their own food ground up.

# data[].attributes.body
1. One difference I saw is that in my region the Southeast, the political structures were chiefdoms and composed of one thousand people. While in the West it was more family based groups with less people that connected due to common culture.

2. One similarity I saw between the Southeast and the West is that both regions used trade networks. In the West they had both extensive trade networks and smaller networks in between their tribes. In the Southeast they had urban centers that were linked to extensive trade networks.

3. One difference I saw between the Southeast and the Southwest was the housing they lived in. The Southeast tribes lived in mounds, wooden structures and chickee. While the Soutwest tribes lived in stone and mud buildings with thatched roofs. These housing changes are due to the changes in climate and elevation between the regions.

# data[].attributes.body
Southwest- Unlike the Northeast Very dry and lack of rain most likely due to the mountains blocking the moisture. They had hunter-gathering society's while living in pueblos compared to a farming based society in the Northeast this is because of their lack of fertile soil. Often prayed to the gods for bountiful harvests. Lacked a firm political structure.

Northwest- Unlike the Northeast Very diverse climates and environments with a surplus of water. They were organized in Triblets which were small cells of people who were joined together rather than a large political system. Additionally fish was a common food rather than corns and squash probably because of their access to water.

Southeast- Unlike the Northeast they were divided into chiefdom while similar different from the north east, but the southeast also built mounds which were also build in the Northeast.

Plains- Unlike the Northeast they lived a nomadic lifestyle most likely due to a lack of natural resources or fertile soil so they were forced to find food. Additionally, they had a most hunter gather society rather than a agricultural based society in the Northeast which may be because of the infertile soil.

# data[].attributes.body
1. The northeast tribes were considered agricultural societies that farmed, had advanced irrigation systems and were sedentary, as well as the Great Plains region.

2. Southwest tribes were sedentary tribes while tribes were in the Great Plains were nomadic. The southwest area was so arid that they needed to settle in order to advance their irrigation systems and agriculture.

3. The Southeast region traded extensively throughout many tribes all over North America alongside with Northeast tribes that traded widely as well.

# data[].attributes.body
1. In the Southwest and West; something that was similar between these two was the geographical features. Some of their land was around and in between the rocky mountains, leading to rocky and rough soil to work with for farming even though their soil was fertile, this soil fertility helped them to continue to thrive for so long, and the protection of the mountains helped them stay peacefully.

2. A similarity between the Southwest, the plains, and the Southeast was their beliefs toward gods of nature. The plains and Southeast were more focused toward the spirits than gods, they did worship specific gods for fertility of the soil and good crops, like the Southwest native tribes.

3. A difference between the Southwest and the northeast was the political issues of the Northeast versus the relatively peacefulness of the southwest. In the Southwest the 3 main tribes had eventually merged together, but in the northeast there was ongoing conflicts between the Iroquois and Algonquians until eventually they were able to settle their differences.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Native American tribes in the southeast and West both used slavery in their economies. The more rigorous tasks would be completed by slaves such has hunting buffalo and things that could get people killed. A lot of dirty and hard work would be done by them that was higher classed people were "too good" to do. Slaves were usually the people of the lowest classes.

2. Unlike in the North where the climates are constantly changing but always moist and fertile the South was the opposite. The south had very dry climate and it was a very flat environment. The north was very rocky with huge mountains and low valleys. Because of this people in the Southern plains were also very nomadic because they were constantly needing to find new food and resources. In the north the people there also had to know lots of different forms of agriculture because of the ever changing micro environments.

3. A difference between the North and the southern plains is that the tribes in the plains were not as recognized and not as together as the tribes in the north who had tribe leaders and larger political systems. This is because people in the southern plains were nomadic and constantly had do move around. Because of this it was difficult to make a permanent tribe and political system. People in the south were also very spread apart in comparison the North where they were a little closer together. This again made it difficult for people in the south to form large tribes.

# data[].attributes.body
One difference I found was the Geographic fractures between the Southwest and Northeast. The Southwest was common of having droughts making the climate very dry while the Northeast climate had access to major bodies of water.

The Northeast and the west both created and used extensive trading networks to trade goods.

One difference I found was that the Plains were more nomadic than the Northeast because they had limited access to bodies of water so they to move more to hunt and gather food. while the Northeast were more agricultural.

Similarities and differences from the Northeast compared to other regions

-One similarity between the Northeast and the West is that they used the three sister farming methods. This method consisted of beans, squash, and corn. The plants were nurtured together when they were planted to grow faster.

-One similarity between the Northeast and the Southeast was their geographic features. Both regions consisted of many accessible waterways, rivers, and valleys. This fertile land was perfect for farming and growing what they wanted. Fertile land was key to plant growth.

-One difference between the Northeast and the Southwest was the jobs and roles of the men and women. In the Northeast, men would go plant and harvest while the women would stay home and care for the kids. In the Southwest, men and women had equal roles because everyone could hunt. this means that everyone helped with the council. Men were mainly the decision-makers in the Southwest region.

# data[].attributes.body
1. One difference that I noticed throughout the other groups presentations was the how the Northeast had not only alliances but also conflicts with other surrounding tribes in that area. This is different in that It was quit rare for tribes to have any relationship with outside tribes making tribes like the Iroquois(Northeast tribe) stand out from the other regions.

2. One similarity that I was able to point out after listening to the groups share their region was the slavery that was prevalent in the southeast and the west. Specifically, The Creek people located in Georgia utilized slavery heavily to complete the needed tasks. The tribe in the west that practiced slavery was the Chinookan tribe. For the reason why they utilized slavery, my best guess is that it was because they had such a strict and already set social structure and decided that it would be easier to have people complete tasks for them as in captives or enemies. Or people that went against the rules of the tribe. This was simply a way of utilized or allowing the native citizens to make up their debt or pay off.

3. One large piece that I noticed the majority of the tribes in the regions shared was utilizing spiritual or religious practices or aspects for their climate. This can include praying for suitable weather, and a abundance of crops not only that, but many of the different regions all allowed for either hereditary or spiritual factors to be what determines the social status of the tribe. Woman also were seen to have high status as religious figures throughout a couple of the tribes.

# data[].attributes.body
1. In the northeast, they had a three-sister farming system that grew corn, beans, squash, etc. Similar to the southeast they also grew beans and squash. This is similar because they are both located in the eastern part of the country.

2. In the northeast, the political system was the first sign of democracy called the Iroquois League. This is completely different from the Plains where they are hunting agrarian groups. This is different because in the north they were more organized because they had been there longer, while the plains were mostly native Americans who were unorganized

3. In the northeast, men would be out gathering food by farming and hunting, while women would be inside cooking and cleaning. This is different because, compared to the Southwest where men and women would do the same thing and were compared equally. This is different because the Northeast is more urbanized than the Southwest, which needs the most people to help benefit their living style.

# data[].attributes.body
- Trade was a major part of the Western Region, with tribes in the west creating large and extensive trade networks. The West traded products made of Buffalo, resources that came from hunting/gathering, and crops. The Southeast participated in trade as well. They would trade, like the West, a large variety of crops. Some of these crops are beans, tobacco, squash, and maize (corn).

- Tribes in the southwest were in conflict quite often over many different things, such as goods, land, or just because they aren't able to come to an agreement over something. In the West, however, did not have as much conflict and had smaller tribes, most being family based. Both regions gave men and women similar roles though, with men being in charge of hunting and "grunt" work and women being in charge of "light" work, such as harvesting crops, making clothes, or other tedious things.

- The geography in the Northeast consisted mainly of mountains and hills, which differed greatly from areas in the west, with their larger areas of flat land. However, both these tribes rely off their land in the agricultural aspect. Both tribes did a lot of farming, with the West having lots of space and the Northeast having lots of fertile land.

1. The Southwest American Indians and other tribes in regions such as West and Northeastern had rigid social structures where men worked the land, hunted, fished and made important decisions whereas women had more household responsibilities such as cooking, cleaning and taking care of children.

2. Unlike the Southwest region that was characterized by drought, the Northeast has nice temperature and access to various waterways. Despite the differences in climate, both the regions had fertile soil and were able to farm and practice agriculture.

3. Natives in regions such as the Plains and Southeast practiced trading just as natives in the Southwest did. Chaco Canyon(SW) was a trade urban center and served as a hub of trade just as mound cities (SE) did.
