The Adirondacks of New York State are the southern extention of the Laurentain Mountain range of Canada and form the drainage divide between the Hudson River watershed and the St. Lawrence River/Great Lakes watershed.
The Adirondacks are bordered on the east by Lake Champlain and Lake George, which separate them from the Green Mountains in Vermont. Author James Fenimore Cooper set part of his novel The Last of the Mohicans in the Adirondacks.
The Catskill Mountains, the highest part of the Allegheny Plateau, is west of the Hudson River. The name was originally spelled “Kaatskil” by the first Dutch settlers. From the same Dutch tradition comes the surname of Knickerbocker, which author Washington Irving used in his 1809 History of New York, and evolved to "knickers" describing a style of pants worn by the Dutch settlers that buckled beneath knees.

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.
Farming tribes usually cleared small plots, used them for a few years, and then abandoned them to move to better lands elsewhere. Birch bark canoes made hunting easier and also enabled many of these tribes to trade with one another throughout the region.
Most woodland tribes lived in small villages. Some made small, round homes from birch bark. Others built large longhouses from wood and bark. Many families lived in each longhouse, and this made it important for tribes to become skilled at working together to solve problems. Five large tribes in what is now New York even joined together in a complicated and democratic kind of government called the Iroquois Confederacy. These five original Iroquois tribes were the Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida and Mohawk.
The Fox Warrior shown here is wearing a deer and porcupine hair roach (from painting by Karl Bodmer). Also shown: birch bark dish, an Iroquois longhouse; a buckskin coat.
