Early American Indian regions

The Woodland

Indians in the Northeast believed

it was important to give back to

nature. After eating plants or

animals, members of these tribes

offered a prayer or a sacrifice (SAK-

ruh-fice) to the land. They might say,

“The land gives the people what we

need to survive. In return, people

should respect nature.”

One northeastern tribe, the

Huron (HYUR-on), had a special

ceremony (SER-uh-mo-nee) to

remember those who had died. It

was called the Feast of the Dead.

Dancing and feasting honored the

departed spirits. Sometimes, the

ceremony lasted through the night

and into the next day.

Northeastern burial ceremony

The Wampanoag

The northeastern tribes were sometimes called the

Woodland People. These tribes relied on the many

trees in their region for their food and shelter.

They were experts at using the wood and bark

from trees. They made baskets, canoes,

tools, pots, and dishes from wood.

The Wampanoag (wom-puh-NO-

ahg) tribe helped the Pilgrims

survive their first winter by giving

them food. These Indians taught

the Pilgrims how to grow crops in

their new land.
