Type of clause?

Hi There,

In the sentence "These people range from Eskimos that live in igloos to Indians that live in teepees", what type of clause is "from eskimos that.....in teepees", is it a prepositional phrase?

Thanks

from Eskimos that live in igloos to Indians that live in teepees isn't a clause. The sentence is made up of a main clause and two relative clauses , which are of course subordinate clauses. These people range from Eskimos that live in igloos to Indians that live in teepees .
