Languages in the Eastern Woodlands cultural area mainly belonged to the very large Algonquian group and to the Iroquoian group. Only the Winnebago, Tutelo, Saponi, Catawba, Occaneechi, Cheraw and Waccamaw were of the Siouan linguistic stock (but some of these languages may possibly have been Algonquian).
