The Algonquins traced their ancestry through their fathers line (patrilineal). They lived in wigwams with each family having their own dwelling. They were famous for their canoes. Most of the Algonquins live in Canada and were allies with the French during colonial days.

The Iroquois traced their ancestry through their mothers line (matrilineal). They lived in long houses that could hold up to sixty people. The Iroquois prefered to travel by land and used snowshoes during the winter. The Iroquois lived in the New York region and were allies of the British.
