Northeast Native American Cultures -
The northeastern part of the U.S. and Canada includes coastal lands, rivers, the Great Lakes, valleys and mountains. before the arrival of European settlers, this region was mostly one vast forest. In these woodlands teeming with deer, bear, rabbit, and other animals, most of the Indians were hunters and gatherers. They also fished in the lakes and rivers. In wet marshy areas Indians gathered wild rice. And in the summer, some tribes planted crops of corn, squash, and beans. ...

American Gothic, a painting by Grant Wood, is seen as a depiction of steadfast American pioneer spirit. Wood had seen a small white house built in the Carpenter Gothic architectural style in Eldon, Iowa and decided to paint the house along with “the kind of people I fancied should live in that house.”
Grant used his sister Nan (1900–1990) to model the woman, putting her in a “colonial print apron mimicking 19th century Americana”. Wood's dentist, Dr. Byron McKeeby (1867–1950) from Cedar Rapids, Iowa was the male inspiration.
FYI - The models never stood in front of the house, Wood painted each element (house and the people) separately.
