The Druedain (plural; singular Druadan from drughu-adan, Drughu-men), or Wood-Woses as Tolkien translates it, are the descendants of Men who inhabited the Forest at the Gondor edge of Rohan since long before the Numenoreans came. There's a whole chapter about them in Unfinished Tales, and they give the Rohirrim passage through their land in ROTK (book), allowing them to reach Gondor in time and outflank some of Sauron's forces which have the road staked out.
