The characteristics of Native Americans who lived in early Indiana include:
-
farming and trade: Native American tribes in the region practiced agriculture and engaged in trade with one another.
-
cultural exchange: Interactions between different tribes and with European settlers led to cultural exchanges.
The other options, complex legal code and land ownership by deed, do not accurately reflect the systems in place for many Native American tribes in early Indiana. Native Americans had their own forms of governance and land use that did not typically align with European concepts of legal codes and formal land ownership.
