Algonkian and Iroquois Cultures Late Woodland-Owasco Algonkian. Early Woodlands cultures in the Adirondack region included the Middlesex culture, which was related to the Adena culture in the Ohio Valley. This culture was followed by the Point Peninsula culture in the Middle Woodland period. Later, the Owasco culture of the Late Woodland period had protected settlements located along rivers and streams like the Point Peninsula peoples. They were hunters and gatherers who farmed with sticks and hoes. Iroquoian peoples arrived between 1,200 and 4,000 years ago, and both the Mohawk and the Oneida consider the Adirondacks to be part of their territory. The Algonquian-speaking Mahicans also claimed the mountains as their lands, particularly the area east of Lake George to southern Lake Champlain. According to Tuscarora and Haunosaunee (Iroquois) historian Rick Hill, the Adirondack region was a Dish with One Spoon neutral territory shared by the Iroquois with their allies and friendly peoples during peaceful times. This later included Europeans, notably the French. A 1624 peace treaty between the Mohawk and Mahicans, brokered by Samuel de Champlain, allowed for shared access to each others hunting territories in the Adirondacks.
