Which is not associated with the Southwest culture?

• A. Totem poles
• B. Adobe dwellings
• C. Irrigation farming
• D. Pueblo pottery

Answer: (A)

Totem poles come from Northwest Coast cultures, where cedar trees and storytelling carvings are important. The Southwest is known for adobe dwellings, irrigation farming, and Pueblo pottery. Adobe dwellings use sun-dried bricks to build sturdy homes in desert climates; irrigation farming uses canals to bring water to crops in dry areas; Pueblo pottery is a traditional art of the Pueblo peoples. Because totem poles are tied to a different region and traditions, they are not associated with the Southwest.
