yes.
Uhm... Travel?
Mostly a wagon and ox.
Boats were used or they found a low spot and drove the wagons across. Some made it others didn't.
They have to travel by foot. They sometimes use boats for getting up and down rivers.

In 1845, settlers traveling from Alabama to Arkansas would likely use covered wagons pulled by oxen or horses, which were common for long-distance travel during that time. They would typically follow established trails, such as the Old Military Road, which connected various towns and facilitated westward migration. The journey would involve navigating through forests and rivers, making use of local roads and paths to reach their destination. Travel would be slow and could take several weeks, depending on the weather and road conditions.
The Mound Builders primarily used watercraft for transportation, such as canoes and rafts, due to their proximity to rivers and waterways. These watercraft allowed them to navigate the rivers for trade, communication, and exploration. The Mound Builders also likely used foot travel for shorter distances within their settlements and surrounding areas.
Generally, they tried to find navigable rivers/seas and use boats. Where this was not possible, they would travel on horse or on foot.
the Olmec used rivers to travel between cities and build a trade system to trade things like Olmec artifacts.
there are too many bushes the weather becomes too harsh
The physical characteristics of the backcountry, such as rugged terrain, dense forests, and rivers, significantly influenced the movements of settlers. Difficult landscapes often made travel slow and challenging, necessitating the use of paths and waterways rather than direct routes. Settlers frequently adapted their methods of transportation, relying on wagons, horses, and canoes to navigate these obstacles. As a result, settlement patterns were often dictated by the availability of navigable routes and fertile land, leading to more dispersed communities.
