1000 years ago, North America was populated by a variety of Native American tribes, with the most populous being the Iroquois, Algonquin, and Sioux. The landscape was mostly covered in forests, with some areas of grassland and desert. The Great Plains were home to large herds of bison, and the eastern woodlands were filled with deer, elk, and other wildlife. The coastline was dotted with small fishing villages, and the interior was home to a variety of nomadic tribes.
