Native Americans practicing agriculture tended to establish permanent homes because they relied on the time-consuming process of crop cultivation, enabling food storage and larger populations. Permanent settlements allowed for complex social structures and technological advancements that further enticed communities to remain in one location. This contrasts with hunter-gatherers, who remained nomadic due to the need to follow food sources.
