Wampanoags live in New England. They lived in wigwams or wetus in villages.
As weapons Wampanoag hunters and warriors used bows, arrows, and wooden clubs. Fisherman used nets and bone hooks.
For clothes Wampanoags did not need to wear a shirt. Women wore knee-length skirts. Men wore breech cloths with leggings. They dressed in deerskin mantles in the cold weather. They wore moccasins as shoes. Wampanoags only wore a beaded headband with a feather or two.
For food, Wampanoags grew many things. Women harvested corn, squash, and beans. Men hunted deer, turkeys, small game, and went fishing in their canoes. The children collected food like berries, nuts, and herbs.
To get around Wampanoags hollowed out huge trees to make dugout canoes which was used transportation and fishing trips. Over land they used dogs as pack animals.
The Wampanoag tribe was known for it's bead work, wood carvings, and baskets. Artists were especially famous for crafting wampum out of purple and white beads.
A regular day in a Wampanoag tribe was busy. Children played with each other, they went to school, and they helped around the house. Kids worked more than they played. Men hunted and sometimes went to war to protect their family. Women farmed and also did most of the child care and cooking. Both genders told stories, did artwork, and played music.
