Many natives of North America as the Europeans found them were semi-nomadic hunter-gatherers; others were tribally based, more sedentary and agricultural. Many formed tribes in response to European colonization. Well-known groups include the Aztec, Maya, Huron, Mohawk, Apache, Cherokee, Sioux, Mohegan, Iroquois, and Inuit.
