How were the Northeast Woodland Indians similar to the Southeast Indians?
Answers
Answer:
The Indian peoples of the Northeastern woodlands were the storybook Indians - "skulking" through the "dark forest primeval," plying the many lakes in birch-bark canoes, saving the Pilgrims at Plymouth, trading furs for guns with the Europeans, and bequeathing to the English language such words as tomahwak, papoose, squaw, powwow, sachem, and wigwam. In no other region of native North America were the cultures of its aboriginal inhabitants more disrupted by the Europeans than in the Woodlands. It was here that the myths to legitimatize English conquests were constructed, and it was here that the wholesale appropriation of the resources of the native peoples began: trees and fur-bearing mammals, fish, and of course the land itself. One of the most pervasive myths, and one which has made its way into numerous tellings is that of the "skulking Indians" living in "primeval forests." Neither of these images is true. Indians didn't skulk and the forests were hardly primeval. Indians moved about their world as all people did and the forests they inhabited were far from primeval, in that they had been home to Indians for more than 12,000 years. And during those 12 millennia, the Indians had remade the forests through a variety of environmental management techniques, including the use of fire.
