North American Regions

Pacific Coast Region: Lush forest with a temperate climate, its known for its
heavy rainfall. They hunted for food like salmon, elk, deer, moose and whale
just to name a few. They were rich in resources like cedar and salmon. The Indians had a mixed hunter-gather and farmer lifestyle since they made permanent houses.
Gulf Coast Region: This region is mostly marshlands and coastal prairies. The
natives of this area were mostly hunter-gathers , they had seasonal migration,
they moved from the coastal shores into the inland prairies to harvest its resources .
Conclusion: The people of Louisiana are already adjusted to Gulf Coast Region
and since Houston is part of that region it would only make sense for them to
get relocated over here in Houston. The Amerindians of this region were hunter
-gathers, although these refugees are modern humans moving to George Bush
Park, some of the population can forage the area for food. Even though there
wasnt any type of farming in this region before the Spanish arrive,, the refugees can domesticate the small population of wild boars in order to turn them
in a food supply.
