One example of how the environment shaped the social or cultural aspect of a North American Indian group is the following.
Native American Indian tribes had to learn to adapt to the many time difficult environments that included different kinds of soils and harsh weather conditions. Native American Indian tribes such as the Iroquois and the Algonquins split the work to survive and prosper.

Men also were the ones who waged war against other tribes.
