What were the Cree and Dene primarily known for?

  1. Their agricultural practices

  2. Their hunter-gatherer lifestyle

  3. Their trading networks

  4. Their naval explorations

The correct answer is: Their hunter-gatherer lifestyle

The Cree and Dene were primarily known for their hunter-gatherer lifestyle, which involved relying on hunting, fishing, and gathering wild plants for sustenance. Option A (agricultural practices) is incorrect because the Cree and Dene did not have a strong tradition of agriculture, as their environment was not conducive to farming. Option C (trading networks) is also incorrect because although the Cree and Dene did have some trading practices, it was not their primary occupation. Option D (naval explorations) is also incorrect because the Cree and Dene were not known for their naval prowess, as they lived inland and did not have access to large bodies of water for exploration. Therefore, option B is the most accurate and appropriate choice.
