first off "reatrded paper" upsets me as my husband is an American Indian!. so please refrain from insulting my families heritage!. as to your paper!.!.!.!.!.
woodland Indians Mohawks Iroquois etc!.) used long houses and smoked bear and deer meat and buried it for use throughout the winter and also used dried berries and such!.
Southeast Indians lived in wigwams which are long poles tied to the ground and staked together to form a dome and covered with bark sheets!. they did the same as woodland Indians with burying their food!.
Northwest coast Indians used a form of wigwam too half buried in the ground!. they subsided on mostly fish and whale blubber and dried this too to be put in whale stomachs for storage and!.!. you guessed it buried!.
pueblo Indians built big cities out of rock and mortar they made in the desert sands or carved, over centuries out of the rock face of cliffs!. they used pottery a lot and used theses homemade tupperware to store their food!. they would cover the outer lip of the jar or container with animal fat, put a piece of leather over the top of the canister and tie it with a length of rope thus making the container airtight !.They then would put it in the back of their rock dwelling where it is much cooler for safe keeping!. hope this is helpfullWww@QuestionHome@Com
