Prior to European arrival, various Native American tribes inhabited different regions of North America based on the local environment. The Inuit lived in the Arctic regions of Alaska and northern Canada with long, cold winters. The Kwakiutl inhabited the rainy, mild Pacific Northwest coast. The Lakota's homeland was the dry Great Plains grasslands of the central US. The Pueblo tribe lived in desert areas of the Southwest near cliffs and mountains in New Mexico and Arizona. The Iroquois homeland was the heavily forested Eastern Woodlands of Northeast North America. Today, members of these tribes still live in their traditional homelands and other parts of North America.
