    These native populations worked all year to survive. They were practical, efficient and industrious. With such group and individual focus, survival was assured. Our native Americans are a testimony to the success of a people whose knowledge supported a respect for communal life and care of the land. Look at the early settlements of European immigrants. City folks who had few skills to prepare for their survival. Yep Thanksgiving, my fav celebration after my birthday. I have a nice big garden too! Much respect for my native Americans.✝️

      You are stretching the communal idea way too far. Native Americans would kill and entire enemy tribe, just to take over their land, or just to satisfy their lust to do battle. What you call communal life was just sticking together to survive and in many cases the sticking together was just for the males of a tribe. Comanches treated their women worse than whites treated their cattle.

    Southwestern tribes supplemented their diet with rabbits. I got a real chuckle out of that one. Those were some really big rabbits. Yeah, "rabbit," eating was popular from Hudson Bay to the Straight of Magellan. What year is he talking about anyway? The Cheyenne weren't a Plains tribe until very late in their history. There's no mention of raiding and genocidal warfare as a survival strategy. When did the Inuit become Native Americans? I'm of European ancestry. I guess I'm Native American too. The biggest problem with this is there is NO MENTION OF THE USE OF FIRE TO TRANSFORM THE LAND. They most certainly did not live in harmony with nature. They bent nature to their will just like people have always done and continue to do today. They were just smarter and much better at it than most peoples.

    Read the Lewis and Clark diary. It tells you the answers. Camas bulbs were their " potatoes ". The native American women were able to find the stashes buried by Prarie dogs. They made a big business of drying fish. This was west of the rockies. Plains Indians migrated with the bison 🦬. Many eastern Washington natives were constantly on the brink of starvation.
