New to the thread, but I think you are correct there was some farming done because I think I read the Native Americans had corn and shared it with the white men that came. But I am thinking it depended on the tribe and their location (both weather related and where on the map) if they herded animals or farmed and how much. Because that's part of the controversy in American history because I read that many tribes in the north east from VA west to IL and north there were some tribes like in the old western movies stereotyped but many many tribes that were different from the rest of the world but were supposed to be "civilized" (had government, some buildings they lived in etc etc etc, shame we white folks killed most of them out, esp. since it was basically racism and ideological reasons they were killed),
) The neighbor is obsessed with it (in a good way) & keeps telling me its too hot for the cat & needs a roof. I keep reminding him that the cat can go inside if he's too hot. I think the neighbor is just excited that he doesn't have to look at my old rusty shed & trashcans anymore.
