The people who lived in the northeastern woodlands belonged to many nations and spoke many languages. This region's two major language groups were Iroquoian and Algonkian. Some of the nations were friends, and some were not, but they all shared a common way of life - Life in a Longhouse Village. All these nations lived in permanent homes and grew crops. They all belonged to clans and each longhouse was the home of a clan. Children will learn about the fascinating lifestyle of these hunting and farming peoples who thanked the Earth each day for its many gifts. Topics include: - clan and village life - how a longhouse was built - life inside the longhouse - gifts from the land - making clothes from hide - the roles of men, women, children, and elders - games and celebrations Teacher's guide available.

Excellent Book
This book is attractive, informative and easy to read. Highly recommended, also for folks who want to check their heritage. Teens would enjoy it too, it's so colorful and the illustrations seem historically and culturally accurate.

Great resource
I am teacher. Yearly, I teach an Iroquois Confederacy unit with a focus on the type of government that they used to make decisions. I wanted to do a little more on their culture. I used this to read to them a few things about their food and the jobs of men and women. It is a good book as a resource.
