The Iroquois lived in the woodlands of the Northeast. During certain times of the year, this area was often cold and damp. To adapt to the climate, the Iroquois used the resources they found in the forests to keep themselves comfortable when the weather turned harsh.

The clothing also protected their skin from cuts and scratches, which could be common when walking through dense, wooded areas with thorns and sharp branches.
