1 thought on “Indian Tribes of the Rocky Mountain Region”

  1. How high into the Rockies did First Americans live? Were there any, like in Nepal, who were acclimated to higher elevations? What game was available? What plants for sustenance & other needs? Are there maps available to show where nations lived? What were some of the names First Americans had for the mountains?

    Thank you!
