For GCSE History people: Help me with this source question, its probably easy for you!?

Ok, I’m kinda stuck on where to start with this History question about evidence etc.

ok, here is the source:

‘The teepee is much better to live in, always warm in winter, cool in summer; easy to move. The white men build big house, like big cage, shuts out sun, can never move; always sick. Indians and animals know how to live than white men.’

and the question is:

‘What does the source tell you about the way of life of the Plains Indians?’

What shall I comment on? I need to make an inference apparantly!

OK, first of all, you should make sure you make references to the source. For instance, you could begin with something like: ” From reading the source I can interpret that the way of life of the plain indians was based around movement. I know this because the source mentions ‘easy to move’. This implies that the plain Indians need a home that is portable and easy to manoeuvre.”

You should also try to throw in a bit of your own knowledge. This will increase your mark greatly, especially when it comes to source questions in the final exams.
