explain each in a 2 - 3 sentence
One example of early Americans adapting to their environment is the Native American tribes who lived in the Great Plains region. These tribes learned how to utilize the bison that roamed the area for food, shelter, and clothing, allowing them to thrive in the harsh environment.
In contrast, the European settlers who arrived in North America drastically changed the environment to fit their needs. One example of this is the clearing of forests to make way for agriculture and settlements, leading to deforestation and disruption of ecosystems in the process.
