Have "Raging Barbarians" ticked

The Abundant Lands has always been a legend. A land filled with rich resources and fresh landscapes. Hiawatha has been chosen to lead citizens to this popular land and reach sustenance. After months of crossing the merciless seas, they have reached the Abundant Lands, but, not alone. Raging native barbarians populate the land mindlessly and aggressively. But that's only the least of the problems. Seven other civilizations set sail for the Abundant Lands themselves--and succeeded.

The Mayans, Aztecs, Americans, Songhai, Siamese, Mongolians, and Indians. You all share specific regions on this continent. But who will take it all? Will the aggressiveness of the Songhai, Aztecs and Mongolia rule the lands? Or will America's expansiveness takeover? See if you can guide Hiawatha. The map is filled with forests to your advantage--so use Mohawk Warriors well.

^^^ My Save

Tips:
-You're on the Eastern region of the continent
-Try to settle as much as you can in region
-Try to keep good relations with states
-In my game Askia got very successful being aggressive and creating the largest army.
If other nations ask you to join in for war against him, I would suggest it just to slow him down.
-Iron is your best friend. Trade it to nations who are less fortunate for GPT.

Hiawatha is hard to play with imo. Especially if you have no forests.

On Arborea map Iroquois one of most overpowered civs, using right approach. I wont look at save, cause its King Arborea, but good luck with your game.
Main tip - get lumbermills before NC, build NC and go for Longhouses, build Ironworks as soon as possible, spam with capital medieval+wonders, with rest build army/buildings and focus on tradition and food growth at start.

You can try harder difficulties as well. I just did King because I never played with Hiawatha and I wanted to test him out--and sorta give him a landscape advantage. Mohawks work well and no kidding when in forest territory. But in maps like that they are quite over powered. I had good luck but Askia really gives the Western region of the continent problems.
