The Eastern Woodland Indians lived from just north of the Canadian border down to the Ohio River region. They lived as far east as the Atlantic Ocean and as far west as the Mississippi River region. Since this region could get quite cold, the houses needed to be well constructed and were covered with bark.
There were many tribes of Eastern Woodland Indians, and most of them spoke the Iroquoian or Algonquian language. The Cayuga, Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, and Seneca were just a few of the tribes. They joined together to create a large league called the Iroquois.
