3 All About Native Americans The Powhatan Indians The Powhatans were part of a group called the Eastern Woodland Indians The Eastern Woodland Indians lived in Virginia and other areas of the Mid-Atlantic Woodlands are regions with lots of trees The Powhatans used the bark and wood from the trees to build canoes and houses Their houses were called longhouses A book about the Powhatan Indians, Lakota Indians, and Pueblo Indian Tribes Powhatan women were in charge of doing the farming They grew corn, beans, and squash These three crops are known as the three sisters because they are grown together Name Powhatan men found food by hunting and fishing Powhatan men hunted for food and used the canoes made from wood and bark to fish

4 The Powhatan men used every bit of the animals they hunted They ate the meat and used the bones to make tools They used the skins from deer, bear, and other animals to make clothing They even used a part of the muscle to make strings for their bows! 1 List 3 ways the Powhatan Indians used the animals they hunted What are the three sisters?

6 Pueblo Indians walked everywhere they went There was very little water and no animals to ride Pueblo men were responsible for all the farming Pueblo women cooked the food, wove baskets and took care of children Pueblo children did not go to school They learned how to work from their parents Children started helping their parents when they were 5 years old 1 What did Pueblo Indians make their homes out of? 2 How else besides farming could Pueblo Indians have gotten food?
