If you want to identify Sugar Maple look for 5 distinct lobes on each leaf.
It was American Indians who discovered how to collect and boil the sap to make maple sugar and syrup. It was the primary sweetener used in food and was used in place of sugar. Collecting enough to last year round was important since tapping is seasonal.

In order to identify White oak from Red oak look for round lobes on the leaf tips. The Red Oak has pointy tips. Acorns from both varieties can be ground into flour. Soaking or boiling the nuts in water will remove the tannin or bitter flavor prior to grinding. The tannin from oak trees is still use today in the tanning process to turn animal hides into leather.
The bark is also used to treat asthma, and for cough medicines.

BEECH
Beechwood is a common building material for North-eastern US Indian Tribes.
Wood from Beeches is perfect for wigwam, long house frames, snowshoes, and Lacrosse Sticks since it will remain pliable without cracking, even when dry. To treat stomach aches, arthritis, and ulcers you can crush the leaves and bark. The leaves were crushed into a poultice to treat burns & sores. Beech nuts were ground and used in bread. Also combining the nuts with bear grease will make a bug repellent.
