Native Cultures of the Northeast 

This map depicts the general areas occupied at First Contact, so the "boundaries" are only an approximation.  It does, however, show which groups were united by a similar language and which ones lived in the same area,  thus providing some basis for understanding the shifting alliances in subsequent wars. The small color blocks in Oklahoma show where these groups were relocated in Oklahoma and Indian Territory.
