Woodland Native Americans

Woodland Native Americans are indigenous peoples who lived in the northeastern and Great Lakes regions of North America. They thrived in dense forests and were skilled in hunting, fishing, and gathering. Their societies were often organized around communal living and kinship ties. The Woodland tribes, such as the Iroquois and Algonquin, developed distinct cultures, languages, and traditions. They are known for their use of birchbark canoes, sophisticated gardening techniques, and elaborate ceremonies. The European colonization significantly impacted their way of life, leading to dramatic changes in their societies and land use. Today, their descendants continue to uphold their rich heritage.
