There are many ways people adapt to their environment. People who live in cold mountain climates wear coats to keep warm. People who live in wetlands that are often flooded build their homes on stilts. People can also use technology to help them adapt. In hot climates, many people use air conditioning. They also use sunscreen when they are outside. When those near the ocean can't find drinking water, they use desalination to take salt out of seawater. Through technology, we now have drought-resistant crops.

Issues between settlers and American Indian tribes continued for hundreds of years. The influx of white settlers in the 1800s resulted in the forced removal of thousands of native people from Texas. Many tribes native to Texas were forcibly removed to Oklahoma. The remaining tribes, such as the Comanche, Caddo, and Apache, faced economic hardship as Texas grew.
