Not all Native Americans were nomads. The Pueblo, Hopi, Zuni, Cocopah, Quechan and Tohon O’odam and others were static agricultural societies.

I keep seeing the words “nomad” here and only the Plains Indians could be identified with that word. I do not know what the percentage of Indians could legally be called nomads but I believe it to be a small number on the total population. Tribes like mine, the Yuroks, of the Klamath River in N. Calif, as well as all their surrounding tribes, were settled along the river in redwood plank houses and hardly ever moseyed outside their tribal area. ( Yuroks are thee biggest tribe in Calif. over 5000)
