Question

how did the geography of the great lakes region affect the way the anishinaabe at sault ste. marie lived? they ate a steady, year - round diet of fish and shellfish from the nearby ocean. the dry climate forced them to learn how to irrigate their land from nearby lakes. the fertile soil and abundant rain enabled them to grow many different crops. they moved seasonally, traveling between sites on the lakes and the rivers.

Explanation:

The Great Lakes region has fertile soil and sufficient rainfall which supported crop - growing for the Anishinaabe at Sault Ste. Marie. It is not an oceanic area for consistent fish and shellfish diet. Also, it does not have a dry climate requiring irrigation. While seasonal movement was a part of some Native American life, the most direct impact here is on agriculture due to geography.

Answer:

The fertile soil and abundant rain enabled them to grow many different crops.
