The Eastern Woodlands is a cultural area of the indigenous people of North America. The Eastern Woodlands extended roughly from the Atlantic Ocean to the eastern Great Plains, and from the Great Lakes region to the Gulf of Mexico, which is now the eastern United States and Canada.[1] The Plains Indians culture area is to the west; the Subarctic area to the north.

The Eastern Woodlands had transportation too. They used snowshoes in the winter. The Eastern Woodlands used birch bark canoes made of the birch bark trees. When the Europeans came, the Eastern Woodlands had horses to ride on and greatly improved travel. Before the horses and the Europeans came, they usually walked.
