Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
1) Living and learning from the land, they learned to use wood and wood products as the basic raw materials in their lives!. This region is noted for ample rainfall, numerous lakes, streams, and rivers and the Woodland Indians tended to live near water in the forested areas!. The Eastern Woodland Indians were not nomadic people and built their own home for shelter from the elements!. The type of dwellings that they built were known as longhouses!. These were long, rectangular dwellings with frames made from the wood from young trees or saplings and covered with bark that was often sewn together!. The Northeastern Woodland Indians used animal skins, wood, and hay to construct their homes!.

2) The Eastern Woodlands was a cultural area of the indigenous peoples of North America!. The Eastern Woodlands extended roughly from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mississippi River, and from the Great Lakes region to the Gulf of Mexico, which is now the eastern United States and Canada!. The Algonquian would be a tribe of the eastern Woodland Indians!.

3) I'm not sure about the answer to this one!. Many of the eastern Woodland Indians would have been part of the Haudenosaunee (leadership of the Iroquois Confederacy)!. Sorry I can't help much on this one!.
