🌲Prior to European arrival, Native American tribes in the Northeast lived in agricultural communities with strong social and cultural traditions.
📈The Native American tribes fell under two main groups: the Algonquian speakers who lived along the coast in fishing and farming villages, and the warlike Iroquoian-speaking tribes who lived inland in smaller hamlets.
👥Native American women in the Northeast had more authority and autonomy compared to their European counterparts, with responsibilities in internal management, property ownership, and food production.
🎉The colonization of the Northeast resulted in major conflicts between Native tribes and European settlers, including the Pequot War and King Philip's War.
🎮The wars and forced treaties following colonization led to the weakening of Native tribes, loss of land, and decimation of the Native population in the Northeast.
