About Woodland Life... Like their Archaic predecessors, Woodland Indians hunted small game and foraged in the forests. However, unlike their Archaic forerunners, Woodland Indians placed greater emphasis on a more sedentary life by tending plants and cultivating maize, sunflower, beans, and squash. With this increased importance placed on cultivation came an increased need to settle in one place for longer periods of time. Thus, towns and villages appear to be occupied year round. In the spring, summer, and fall the Woodland Indians hunted and tended their gardens. By drying the meat and storing their crops and gathering nuts, the Woodland Indians could remain in their villages during the lean winter months.
