The environment was instrumental in changing the lives of Native Americans, as they were so close to nature that it became their traditions, their folklore.

Nature offered them everything they had and it was providential for the maintenance of the way they lived, many natives found it difficult and thus changed their way of living, just as other natives had facilities with the environment.
