Northeastern Woodlands Culture

The Northeastern Woodlands culture refers to Indigenous peoples living in the eastern part of North America, including groups like the Iroquois and Algonquian tribes. They relied on forests for food, shelter, and tools, often building homes called longhouses and using agriculture alongside hunting and gathering. Their societies were organized into clans and villages, with rich traditions in storytelling, crafts, and ceremonies. They valued harmony with nature, community bonds, and shared leadership. This culture thrived through sustainable practices that balanced human needs with the environment, shaping a vibrant history that continues today.
