Collection: Southeast

Southeastern Woodlands tribes established small, stable communities, where they typically lived in beehive-shaped houses made of thatched grass. As inheritors of Ohio-Mississippian traditions, they preserved key cultural practices like tobacco cultivation and mound construction. Among the prominent tribes of this region were the Shawnee, Waco, Tonkawa, Choctaw, Quapaw, Seminole, and Creek.
