The Eastern Woodland Indians, of which the Iroquois were included, lived East of the Plains.
They depended on the resources of the land for their shelter, clothing, food, and even their
tools. Their tribes were primarily farmers and gatherers, but hunting and fishing was also
important for their survival. Skins were often used for clothing or as bedding during the
winter. Tools were often made from bone or fashioned from wood or stone. They also made
baskets by weaving reeds as shown here.
