The Eastern Woodlands is a region in North America characterized by dense forests, rivers, and diverse wildlife. It stretches from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mississippi River and includes parts of the northeastern United States and eastern Canada. The area is known for its rich natural resources, including timber, game, and edible plants. This region was home to various Indigenous peoples, such as the Iroquois and Algonquin tribes. They relied on the forests for shelter, food, and materials for tools and crafts. The Eastern Woodlands also played a significant role in early American history, as it was a key area for trade and cultural exchange among different tribes and later European settlers.
