They used pottery and ornamental pipes of clay.

They raised beans and squashes, pumpkins, tobacco, and maize, or Indian corn, which they ground to meal by rubbing between two stones.

For hunting they had bows, arrows with stone heads, hatchets of flint, and spears.

In summer they went almost naked.

In winter they wore clothing made from the skins of fur-bearing animals and the hides of buffalo and deer.
