Northeast Cultural Areas

The map below depicts the general areas occupied at First Contact and the "boundaries" are only an approximation. It does, however, show which groups were united by a similar language and lived in the same area, thus providing some basis for understanding shifting alliances.

Key: Prairie Algonquin (red) | Great Lake Algonquin (Blue) | Iroquois (Green) | Northeastern Algonquin (Yellow) | Algonquin & Iroquis (Brown)

Northeastern Groups removed to the Quapaw Tract and the area that became Oklahoma Territory
