Let's solve this step-by-step based on the map titled
"Native American Regions of North America".
Objective:
- Shade each numbered region (1–5) on the map.
- Label each region in the
Map Key using the provided list of Native American cultural regions.

Step 1: Understand the Regions Listed
The five Native American cultural regions to be identified are:
1.
Southwest
2.
Great Plains
3.
Southeast
4.
Northwest Coast
5.
Eastern Woodlands
We need to match these with the numbered areas on the map.

Step 2: Analyze the Map
Let’s examine the locations of the numbered areas:
#### Area 1:
- Located in
western Canada, extending into the northern part of the U.S. (northwestern corner).
- This is
not the Southwest or Great Plains.
- It's near the Pacific coast and includes parts of British Columbia and Alaska.
- This matches the
Northwest Coast region.
✔ Area 1 = Northwest Coast
#### Area 2:
- Covers a large area in the
southwestern United States, including Arizona, New Mexico, and parts of California and Utah.
- Known for Pueblo, Navajo, and Hopi peoples.
- This is the
Southwest region.
✔ Area 2 = Southwest
#### Area 3:
- Spans across the
central northern part of the U.S. and southern Canada (from Montana to Manitoba).
- Includes the prairie grasslands.
- This is the
Great Plains region.
✔ Area 3 = Great Plains
#### Area 4:
- Located in the
southern United States, including Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and parts of Texas.
- This region is known for tribes like the Cherokee, Creek, Seminole, and Choctaw.
- This is the
Southeast region.
✔ Area 4 = Southeast
#### Area 5:
- Covers the
eastern part of the U.S., from the Atlantic coast through the Northeast and into parts of Ontario and Quebec.
- Includes the Iroquois, Algonquian, and other woodland tribes.
- This is the
Eastern Woodlands region.
✔ Area 5 = Eastern Woodlands
