Paleo-Indians adapted by turning their attention to fishing, gathering of nuts and berries, and hunting smaller mammals.

In Mexico, some villages grew into great cities ruled by powerful chiefs. Describe the process by which different American Indian groups and cultures developed.

  9. From Mexico, agriculture slowly spread northward into North America. Describe the process by which different American Indian groups and cultures developed.
