Question

The Indians of North America believed that land was a common resource and the basis of economic life. True/False

Answer 1

True. The indigenous peoples of North America had diverse cultural and spiritual beliefs, but many of them shared a common understanding of land as a communal resource and the foundation of their economic, social, and spiritual lives. Land was viewed as a shared and sacred entity, rather than as individual property. Indigenous communities often practiced communal land ownership, collective stewardship, and sustainable resource management, based on their cultural values and traditions.
