This is a tough question really, as the tribes have major and minor breakdowns, then you have cultural breakdowns underneath that. As an easy way to say this, the Cherokee had 14 clans, 23 languages, and each of these were different in cultural practices. A "simple" way to do this would be by tribal type, and please remember this is a general breakdown. Major: * Tree People; generally an agriculturally based tribal culture (eastern US, Canada) * Plains People; generally a mobile hunter group (mid continent US, Canada) * Pueblo builders; generally a desert people with non-mobile villages (southern mid continent US, Mexico) * Bug Eaters; generally the people west of the pueblo builders. * Ice People; generally those who lived in permafrost areas (far northern Canada, US) Minor tribes: * Tree People:
Cherokee, Muskogee, Choctaw, Natchez, seminole, Powhatain, Miami, Delaware, Iraquois, Heron, Potawatomi, Moatagnais, Cree, Beaver, Tutcbone * Plains People:
Blackfoot, Assinibione, Mandan, Crow, Sioux, Arapaho, Cheyenne, Kiowa, Commanche * Mixed Tree / Plains (attributes of both):
Iowa, Pawnee, Illinois, Osage, Wichita, Pawnee, Sack / Fox * Pueblo People:
Hopi, Havajo, Apache, Zuni, Tobono * Bug Eaters:
Pomo, Yokute, Salish, Yakama, Paiate, Ute, Shoshone, Nez Perce * Ice People:
Innuit (Eskimo) Please understand that this is a general listing and uses original tribal names where possible. Note: some names used here are used as general labels only and not as any form of derogatory term. There are 4,000 tribes listed in federal law books as distinct cultural peoples, this list is not intended to be all inclusive.
