On a North American continent controlled by American Indians, contact among the peoples of Europe,the Americas, and West Africa created a new world.

Key Concept 1.1
Before the arrival of Europeans, native populations in North America developed a wide variety of social, political, and economic structures based in part on interactions with the environment and each other.
I. As settlers migrated and settled across the vast expanse of North America over time, they developed quite different and increasingly complex societies by adapting to and transforming their diverse environments.
A. The spread of maize cultivation from present-day Mexico northward into the American Southwest and beyond supported economic development and social diversification among societies in these areas; a mix of foraging and hunting did the same for societies in the Northwest and areas of California.
B. Societies responded to the lack of natural resources in the Great Basin and the western Great Plains by developing largely mobile lifestyles.
C. In the Northeast and along the Atlantic Seaboard some societies developed a mixed agricultural and hunter-gatherer economy that favored the development of permanent villages.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Here we just have some sentences and considerations, but there is no question at all. It seems you forgot to include the question.

It is true all the things you attach, but what do you want to know?

If we can help to add some comments, these would be:

Yes, native populations in North America developed a wide variety of social, political, and economic structures based in part on interactions with the environment and each other. But everything changed with the arrival of the white European colonists. They had a completely different vision of life, society, business, and culture.

This encounter was difficult and the Native American Indians tribes got the worst part.

White Europeans came to the Americans to start a new life and make a profit. Some others were being persecuted by the church because of religious differences, and in the Americas, found a new place to practice their religious values.

But most Europeans wanted to exploit the many raw materials and natural resources found in the Americas. That is why they wanted more and more land, to make a profit.

The vision of the Indian tribes was completely different. They saw nature as a "mother" and truly respect her as so. That is why they created songs, chants, and dances, to honor mother nature.
