In the Southwest during the 1700s, prominent Native American groups included the Pueblo peoples, such as the Hopi and Zuni, along with the Navajo and Apache tribes. In the Northeast, notable groups included the Iroquois Confederacy, comprising the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, and later the Tuscarora, as well as Algonquin-speaking tribes like the Pequot and Narragansett. These groups had distinct cultures and social structures influenced by their environments and interactions with European settlers.
All of the following Native American groups resided in the Southwest EXCEPT the Iroquois. The Iroquois primarily inhabited the Northeast region of North America, particularly in areas that are now New York and Canada. In contrast, groups such as the Navajo, Hopi, and Apache are well-known inhabitants of the Southwestern United States.

The northeast and southwest are often referred to as cardinal directions, which help in navigation and orientation. In the context of the United States, the Northeast is known for its historical significance and urban centers, while the Southwest is recognized for its diverse landscapes and cultural influences, particularly from Native American and Hispanic heritage. These regions also have distinct climates and economies that reflect their geographical characteristics.
