Explanation:

To put in a little bit of context, Industrial revolution occurred in mid 1700s.

All people who live in 1500s still do not have the access to machines that are able to mass produce foods like we have today.

So all people, including the american indians in northeast and Southeast, utilized their farming and hunting skills to fulfill their dailt needs for foods. The type of activities that they choose is really dependent on the environment around them and the season that they're currently in.

Those who lives in the mountains probably focused more on hunting, those who lives in plains have the advantages in farming, and those who are surrounded by River will find a lot of food resources by fishing.
