    • Swamps

    • The desert

    • Canyons

    Correct Answer
    A. Wooded areas
    Explanation
    The Iroquois used natural resources from wooded areas because forests provided them with a variety of materials such as timber for building shelters and canoes, as well as firewood for cooking and heating. Additionally, the forests were a source of food through hunting and gathering activities. The abundance of trees also allowed them to create tools and weapons, such as bows and arrows, from wood. Therefore, wooded areas were essential for the Iroquois in meeting their basic needs and sustaining their way of life.

    Explanation
    Powhatan taught the colonists how to plant crops. This is because the Native Americans, including Powhatan, had extensive knowledge and experience in agriculture. They were skilled in cultivating crops such as corn, beans, and squash, which were essential for survival in their environment. By teaching the colonists how to plant crops, Powhatan helped them establish a sustainable food source and adapt to the new land they were settling in.

    Which landform kept Anasazi homes safe from enemies?

    • A river

    • An island

    • A desert

    Correct Answer
    A. A cliff
    Explanation
    A cliff kept Anasazi homes safe from enemies because it provided a natural barrier and defense against potential attackers. The steep and rocky terrain of the cliff made it difficult for enemies to access the homes, providing a strategic advantage for the Anasazi people. The height of the cliff also allowed for better visibility, allowing the Anasazi to spot approaching enemies from a distance and prepare for any potential threats. Additionally, the cliff may have also provided a sense of security and protection for the Anasazi, as it created a physical barrier between them and potential dangers.

    • Find the distance between places

    • Locate capital cities

    • Understand landforms

    Correct Answer
    A. Find the distance between places

It provides a ratio or measurement that allows you to calculate the actual distance on the ground based on the distance represented on the map. By using the scale, you can determine how far apart different locations are from each other, which is useful for planning routes, estimating travel times, or understanding the spatial relationships between places.

Elders and storytellers would share stories that contained important lessons, historical events, and cultural values. Through listening to these stories, children would learn about their heritage, traditions, and the natural world around them. This method of learning through storytelling was a central part of Native American education and played a vital role in transmitting knowledge from one generation to the next.

    Correct Answer
    A. They lost their land
    Explanation
    After the establishment of Jamestown, Native Americans experienced a significant change in their lives as they lost their land. The arrival of the English settlers led to conflicts and displacement, resulting in the Native Americans being forced off their ancestral lands. This loss of land had profound consequences for their way of life, as it disrupted their traditional hunting, gathering, and farming practices. The Native Americans were pushed onto smaller and less fertile territories, leading to a decline in their overall well-being and autonomy.
