Northeast Creatures

The Northeast section reflects woodlands and river networks that link villages, lakes, and coastal harbours. Longhouse governance, agricultural cycles, and treaty councils structure narratives of responsibility and alliance. Sources include oral histories, wampum records, missionary texts, and early ethnography. Orthographies vary across languages and colonial records, so cards provide transliterations and glossary notes. Themes include hospitality, boundary keeping, winter storytelling, and travel by river and portage. Use tiles to browse by habitat or theme, then open entries for sources, iconography, and performance practice.
