Food
Wampanoag
During winter they ate the wild game, such as rabbit, squirrel, turkey, and deer. A Wampanoag woman would turn the day's hunt into sobaheg, or meat stew. They were, also, experts fishers.
Pilgrims
They usually ate waterfowl because it was plentiful in their area, seafood was also a favorite, especially mussels, in dinner these might have been served with cornbread, curds, and hasty pudding. They had three meals a day.
Housing
Wampanoag
They lived in wetus. The frame of a wetu was made of saplings bent into a circular shape. Inside were woven mats for sleeping, animal skins for blankets, and a smoke-hole in the middle of the roof above the fire pit.
Pilgrims
Pilgrims houses were finished with wooden boards and a thatched, or straw, roof. Inside was the main room for living, eating, and sleeping, and a fireplace.
Chores
Wampanoag
The Wampanoag moved or migrated to warmer places during winter to conserve firewood. They also stored all their food underground, except for the food they were taking with them. They carried several gallons of water a day.
Pilgrims
The Pilgrims planted rye seeds in September and harvested the crop in early spring, the grains were removed and turned into flour. Tending the fire was a very important job, it was where the meals were cooked and kept the house warm. They also cut and fetched the wood for themselves. Young Pilgrim girls were required to "muck" the garden.
They didn't usually take bathes or wash their clothes, since water was such a precious resource.
