B. They farmed corn, hunted, and lived in villages. The indians´s lifestyle in the eastern region was simple. The Eastern Woodland Culture consisted of Indian tribes inhabiting the eastern United States and Canada.

The Adena and Hopewell were the earliest historic Eastern Woodland inhabitants. They were hunters and gatherers who erected seasonal camps. They lived in villages and supplemented their diet with cultivated plants. Later peoples of the Eastern Woodlands included the Illinois, Iroquois, Shawnee and a number of Algonkian-speaking peoples. Eastern Woodland tribes´s societies were typically divided into classes (a chief, children, the nobility and commoners).

The natives were deer-hunters and farmers. The men made bows and arrows, stone knives and war clubs. The women tended garden plots where beans, corn, pumpkin, squash and tobacco were cultivated. The diet of deer meat was supplemented by shellfish.
