The Northeast Indians farmed clearings among the trees. They did not clear trees to plant. Usually it was the women who were responsible for the gardens. They used digging sticks to work the ground and then most often they used the Three Sisters technique. The Three sisters were squash, beans and corn. The corn was planted and used to support the beans. The squash covered the ground and served as protection for the other two plants, keeping the ground moist and comparatively weed free.
