What was the most important food for the eastern woodland indians?

A majority of Eastern Woodlands tribes spoke Iroquoian or Algonquian. The Iroquois speakers included the Cayuga, Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Seneca, and Huron. The Iroquoian tribes were primarily deer hunters but they also grew corn, squash, and beans, they gathered nuts and berries, and they fished.

Well there are a lot of answers here but ill try to make it minimum so they were  obviously hunters.gathers and growers they mainly consisted of cultivated plants and they sawt that it had treated them for many things.
