People also just assume shit. Like you mention Indian, Inuit, any group of people and they picture crap out of a text book.
General cutler or whatever his name was literally paid American tribes like a dollar to wear fancy ceremonial garb to take pictures that are still used in history texts.
They destroyed all evidence of American tribal infrastructure and made it seem like they were tent people.
I mean if you’re relying on pictures in text books to paint a picture for you and not the words then that’s your problem. I learned that the natives of the Americas lived very differently based on tribe and regions. Iroquois nation used long houses and remained stationary as food was abundant and it was easy to farm, then you have tribes that used tent like structures because they traveled/ followed their food sources. Don’t blame the U.S. education system just because you require pictures to understand things, the context was in the words not the picture you fool
