Detailed explanation-1: -Most of the Eastern Woodlands Indians relied on agriculture, cultivating the “three sisters”-corn, beans, and squash. All made tools for hunting and fishing, like bows and arrows and traps, and developed specialized tools for tasks like making maple sugar and harvesting wild rice.
Detailed explanation-2: -Early inhabitants hunted, principally deer, and gathered nuts and berries. Over time, through cultivation of the land, they obtained corn, beans, squash, and pumpkins. In order to survive, the Powhatans adapted to seasonal changes in the environment.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Powhatan lived in the Eastern Woodland region. They lived in wood frame houses with bark/reed coverings. They were fishermen, hunters, and farmers. For transportation, they walked and paddled canoes.

During his lifetime, he was responsible for uniting dozens of tribes into a single, powerful alliance. He was the highest authority in the land when English colonists arrived and built Jamestown fort in 1607.
