Final answer:

The Native American tribes from the Eastern Woodland region settled on lands east of the Mississippi River.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Native American group that settled on lands east of the Mississippi River were the tribes from the Eastern Woodland region.

These tribes, such as the Sauk, Shawnee, and Potawatomi, were eventually forced to relocate to Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma) through the Indian Removal Act of 1830.

Some tribes, like the Iroquois, were able to escape removal and negotiate to keep their reservations.
