How did the environment influence the American Indian cultures of Northwest and Southwest?

2 answers

From the Internet:

The environment influenced the cultures of the Southwest by the severe dry and hot climate. People would ask the gods for hopes of rain, good crops that year, etc. So, the Northeast didn’t have to bother any gods for rain or for food, making them not as important to the Southwest.

Does that help u?
I’m in 7th grade but I learned a little about this.
