The upper part of Canada was inhabited by the Northern Indians, the Algonquin and Athapas tribes, who hunted caribou and fished. In the northwest of the continent lived the Haida, Salish, Wakasha, and Tlingit tribes, who were engaged in fishing and sea hunting, led a nomadic life and lived in small groups of several families in tents. On the California coast, in mild climatic conditions, Indian tribes hunted, fished, and gathered acorns, berries, and various herbs. They lived in semi-dwellings. The eastern part of America was inhabited by the Woodland Indians, tribes such as the Creeks, Algonquins, and Mohawks (considered very warlike and bloodthirsty). They were engaged in sedentary farming.

In the steppe areas of the North American continent (prairies, pampas) lived Indian hunting tribes, which hunted buffalo and led a nomadic lifestyle. These tribes were the Apache, Osagee, Crowe, Arikara, Kayowa, and others. They were very warlike and constantly in conflict with neighboring tribes and lived in wigwams and tipis, traditional Indian dwellings.
