- American Indians of the Eastern Woodlands
- The Northwest Coast spreads from Oregon to Canada, during the winter along the ocean, it gets cold but not icy and summers tend to be cool with heavy rainfall being common throughout the year. Northwest people found lots of food, particularly near the ocean, they ate shellfish, seaweed, and clams from shallow waters. In the seas they found and consumed seal lions, halibut, whales and other fish. Deer, moose, bear, mountain goat, beaver, and elk were all found in the forest. Since they had so much food nearby, they spent time working crafts that included baskets, mats ,ropes and blankets. Tools such as bone drills, wooden wedges, stone knives and chisels were all used by men.
- The Eastern Woodlands extend from the Mississippi River east to the Atlantic Ocean and from Canada to North Carolina. The rain during the summer as well as the snow from winter made for abundant lakes, streams, and forests. Bears, beavers, birds, fish and deer were all hunted by men. It was up to the women to collect berries, nuts and fresh greens. Since the waterways provided both water and fish, villages were build nearby. Men would burn underbrush and trees so the women could plant corn, squash, sunflowers, many vegetables, and tobacco. Capes, skirts, and moccasins were crafts women did after planting was done.
