According to the passage, giving a single common name to all the original inhabitants of North America was inappropriate because ----.
Since the time of Christopher Columbus, Europeans
have called the original inhabitants of North America
“Indians”. Giving them a common name is misleading
since these people had no national identity. They lived
in areas as diverse as the Arctic and the deserts of the
southwest, and differed greatly in their lifestyles. In the
north, the Cree hunted moose and caribou. Tribes such
as the Huron and the Iroquois in the northeast and the
Apache in the southwest were farmers, while those in
the northwest relied on fishing. Before the Europeans
arrived, some tribes of the great central plains cultivated
the fertile lands along rivers and streams, while others
hunted bison during the summer. After European
contact, they took easily to the horses that were brought
and used them to help in their hunting. The huge herds
of bison then became more important to Plains Indians
─ they could eat their meat, make their skins into
clothing and shelters, and use their bones and horns to
make tools. Although they survived attempts by
European settlers to wipe them out, few native
Americans now follow a traditional lifestyle, but most are
very proud of their ancestry.
