Final Answer:
1) The "Ice Bridge" theory has never been proven, but could be true. This is a reasonable explanation for how Native Americans came to North America.
2) A benefit of living as a nomad might be that they could follow food sources like animals or plants that moved with the seasons.
3) Besides having a fresh water source, people might choose to live near a river because it helps them grow crops and travel easily.
4) Tribes lived in different areas because the land, weather, and available resources (like animals or plants) were different in each place.
5) I would choose the Great Plains because there were many buffalo to hunt, which provided food, clothing, and tools — making survival easier.
