Example
Life in the Eastern woodlands
Iroquois Indians lived in longhouses that had room for several families.
They were made of poles and covered with bark. They made beautiful bead
work that was called "wampum" These were given away as gifts and used in
religious ceremonies. The women were the head of the tribe, Women did most
of the farming, the major part of the everyday food supply. Even though the
men were the ones who were the head of the village, the Head Woman had to
approve the decisions, and if she didn't like the decisions, she could
remove him and appoint a different village chief.
