Why is there a difference between the art forms of the plains indians and the southwest indians?

plato: The art forms are different because of the materials available in their geographic locations are different.

The Plains Indians were hunters, and buffalo hide was readily available. Artisans mostly used the hide to create artworks. They painted on dried buffalo hides with color pigments they made from berries and plants. They also carved pipes from wood or stone and made parfleche.

The Southwest region had an arid climate and lacked wood and buffalo. Artisans mostly used earthen clays to create artworks. The Southwest Indians lived in pueblos and were farmers. Women created beautiful blankets, pottery, and baskets. Men created beautiful kachina dolls, which were used in ceremonies

why are there few examples of totem poles from before 1900

hope this !

including the octave, the answer would 8 notes in a major scale with one note being played twice. ex) c major scale includes: c, d, e, f, g, a, b, c

notice that c is played twice

however, if you were to ask me how many different notes are in a major scale- the answer would be 7.
