When I read about the Native Americans, First Nations people, and Inuits of Greenland and northern canada/Alaska, I just wonder why they endured the cold weather and harsh winds/lack of food and more. Especially for places in the tundra where there is no trees, vegetables, fruits. Were they only comfortable with what they knew? Did they think this is how the entire world must have been?
Found this response by u/GlendaleTrain you mind find of interest.
Hey there,
Just to let you know, your question is fine, and we're letting it stand. However, you should be aware that questions framed as 'Why didn't X do Y' relatively often don't get an answer that meets our standards (in our experience as moderators). There are a few reasons for this. Firstly, it often can be difficult to prove the counterfactual: historians know much more about what happened than what might have happened. Secondly, 'why didn't X do Y' questions are sometimes phrased in an ahistorical way. It's worth remembering that people in the past couldn't see into the future, and they generally didn't have all the information we now have about their situations; things that look obvious now didn't necessarily look that way at the time.
If you end up not getting a response after a day or two, consider asking a new question focusing instead on why what happened did happen (rather than why what didn't happen didn't happen) - this kind of question is more likely to get a response in our experience. Hope this helps!
