With few exceptions, Native American groups of North America would be


most accurately described as

Aliving in dense but isolated pockets throughout the continent

Belaborately developed social groups in centrally organized nationstates

Cindependent paternal-based social groups living in small seminomadic

populations

Dsporadic with inconsistent development between tribes, lacking a

common linguistic base

Elacking dense population concentrations or highly developed social

life in the modern sense
