- The Apache people were greatly affected by their environment. Since the Apache people lived in deserts it made it impossible for them to farm the land and grow many plants to the lack of water. Therefore, the Apache people started to hunt in animals that would usually be considered very “wild” in Europe because of all their produce. For hunting and the temperature all Apache people had to wear lightweight and very light colored clothes due to the overpowering heat that was surrounding them. I wouldn’t say the environment dominated the tribe but they definitely had problems, they had an abundance of very few items. It wasn’t a very big problem on food, because they are still alive today because of all the communication between other tribes and trading. This is why and how the environment impacted the Apache

    The Native Americans built villages to survive the elements and wild. The Algonquin Indians built roundhouses and the Iroquois Indians built longhouses. Specifically, they used wood and bark of an elm tree. The Algonquin Indians built roundhouses by driving poles into the ground and the poles are 2 feet apart and bent so they came together over the center and the ends were tied together with strips of bark and vines. A hole was left in the top of the round house to let smoke escape from the fire. Roundhouses are much smaller then Longhouses and only large enough for one family.

Therefore, they had to tolerate the smoke when it rained, snowed or hailed.…
