The Mohican Indians of the Eastern Woodlands
The Mohicans were Woodland Indians of the northeastern United States. Mohicans made clothing using deerskin. They liked to decorate their clothing and baskets with designs. For this they used corn husks, feathers, beads, and paint. Often, they would decorate clothing with pictures of plants and flowers that they found near their homes. Sometimes they made designs to look like the trails they took through the forest.

Native Americans of the Southwest
The Indians of the Southwest come from Arizona, New Mexico, Southern Colorado, and the northern part of Mexico. The very first Southwest Indians hunted mammoths. But these animals later died out. Then people began to hunt the buffalo, or bison. There were not many animals in the desert. So most of the Indians began to farm instead. One of the main foods they grew was maize (corn). They also grew beans, squash, melons, pumpkins, and fruit. For meat, they ate wild turkeys.
Clothing of the Southwest Indians
Most of the Southwest Indians did not wear a lot of clothing. They did not need much because the weather was always so warm. Their long hair was enough cover for most of them. They wore Moccasins on their feet. The Navajo people lived in northwestern New Mexico. The weather was a bit colder there. They made clothing from deerskin. The men wore leggings. The women wore deerskin dresses. After the 1800s, the Navajo men started wearing blankets draped over one shoulder. They borrowed this style of clothing from the Mexicans. The women wore woolen dresses made with two blankets stitched together at their shoulders.
The Anasazi and Pueblo Indians of the Southwest
The 7,000-year-old Anasazi are related to today's Pueblo Indians. They lived in what is now the American Southwest. They used to hunt animals and gather plants and berries for their food. But later they became farmers and grew maize, squash, and beans. This meant that they stayed in one spot instead of moving from place to place. They needed to build houses that were permanent, which would last a long time. They started building their homes right into the cliffs. These were called pueblos, or villages. These pueblos were made of adobe clay or stone. The clay or stone was very strong and protected them against the weather. They also had doors on the roof, which went to the person who lived above them. Wooden or bone ladders were used to reach higher buildings and rooms.
