  8. Native American Clothing Their clothing was made mostly from hides of animals. In the winter, the men wore shirts, leggings, and moccasins made of buckskin. Buckskin is clothing made from the skins of animals, mainly deer. The women wore skirts they had woven from the wild grasses, covered with furs, with leggings underneath.

  9. This is a sample of a wampum belt. The Great Chain, or Covenant Belt, is generally thought to be a belt presented by the U.S. government to the Iroquois in 1794 at the Pickering Treaty at Canandaigua, N.Y. Adapted from The Native Americans. Edited by B. & I. Ballantine. 1993

  10. Food Many of the Eastern Woodland tribes hunted small game such as deer, rabbit, and bear. Since their villages were usually near the ocean, streams, or lakes, they also fished using spears and nets. Berries, nuts, and wild plants were important forms of food. Many of these tribes were considered to be excellent farmers. They had large farms which grew corn, beans, and squash.

  11. Food Corn, beans, and squash were the most important crops planted. They were know as “The Three Sisters” as they were also grown together.

  12. Shelter The Iroquois Indians lived in wigwams and longhouses.

  13. Tools Snowshoes made winter hunting easier for the Iroquois. They traveled up to 50 miles a day wearing the snowshoes in deep snow. The Iroquois also wore snowshoes in ritual dances.

  14. Tools An ax was created from stones to help with carving, splitting, or chipping wood and stone into the needed items.

  15. Tools The bannerstone was used as a weight to produce thrust when throwing a spear. It is believed to have been a prized possession of the chief of the tribe.

  16. Tools Arrow points and spear points were carved from flint stone and attached to the shaft for arrows or spears as needed by the men using them.

  17. Tools This is a rough stone with an abrasive quality need for the smoothing and straightening the shaft for an arrow or spear.

  18. Tools This blade made of brown flint with a sharp edge was used for cutting. Found at Three Bridges near Canton. The scraper is completely flat on one side with sharp cutting edges for scraping fat from the hides of animals or for scaling fish.

  19. Pots were made using clay coils, etched with sticks and other things, and fired in coals.

  20. Broken pots could be mended. Broken sides were drilled, the pieces bound together with sinew and glued with pine pitch. Such mended vessels were then used for the storage of dried foods.
