Context of Sedentary
By c.e. 1500, native peoples had transformed the Americas into a dazzling array of cultures and societies. The Western Hemisphere numbered about 75 million people, most of them in Mesoamerica and South America. Between 7 million and 10 million Indians were unevenly distributed across North America. As they had for thousands of years, small, mobile hunting bands peopled the Arctic, Subarctic, Great Basin, and much of the Plains. More settled societies based on fishing or gathering predominated along the Pacific coast, while village-based agriculture was typical in the Eastern Woodlands and the river valleys of the Southwest and Plains.
