In which american region were groups of native americans known for living in long houses and using "slash and burn" techniques for farming?

1. the great plains

2. the eastern woodlands

3. the southwest

4. the southeast

The appropriate answer is 2. the Eastern Woodlands. Native Americans of the Eastern woodlands used slash and burn cultivation. Burning the vegetation on spot made the soil fertile and ready for planting. This method however had its drawbacks and the soil lost fertility after 2-3 years and the process was repeated in another area. Thy also build long houses which was large enough to house several families.
