Native Americans were opportunistic feeders, meaning they ate what opportunity provided. This is not to say they did not plant crops as they did, they also intentionally spread seeds for plants along commonly traveled paths.

Experimentation and reliability - mostly. The Native American's diet consisted of foods that are proven today to contain the highest level of antioxidants, the highest levels of nutrition and such diets provided the most calories per planted acre of any food crop known to modern science (funny that they didn't need a scientist to tell them that).
