Detailed explanation-1: -EW Transportation The Eastern Woodland Native Americans walked or used canoes to travel from place to place.
Detailed explanation-2: -Before the arrival of horses, Native people traveled on foot or by canoe. When the hunting tribes of the Great Plains moved camp, tipis and household goods were usually carried by women, or by dogs pulling travois. The distance anyone could travel in a day was limited.
Detailed explanation-3: -Native Americans were the first to travel Plains rivers. They used the bullboat, a roughly circular, framed, tublike craft. Made from bent willow branches and buffalo skins sewn with sinews, the bullboat is light enough for one person to carry slung over the shoulders.

Materials ranged from wood, vegetable fiber, and animal hides to copper, shells, stones, and bones. Most of the Eastern Woodlands Indians relied on agriculture, cultivating the “three sisters”-corn, beans, and squash.
