All Native American tribes/bands were hunter/gatherers. Even in the Pacific Northwest with an abundance of salmon, deer, roots, and berries, or on the Great Plains with the great herds of buffalo that once roamed in massive herds, famine was a constant factor for all early indigenous tribes of North America at some time during the annual seasons. This was more the case with tribes/bands living in the arid region known today as the Great Basin are that is made up of present day Idaho, Oregon, Nevada, and portions of California, Colorado and Wyoming. |
