Archaic Indians • Climate warmer so able to hunt forest animals • Fished and collected nuts, berries and fruits found in forests
Woodland Indians • Hunted in forests • Planted seeds to grow as source of food so didn’t have to move as much • Crops (sunflowers, squash) supplemented food hunted and gathered
