Native Americans taught European settlers to grow corn in the early 17th century, particularly around the time of the Jamestown settlement in 1607. Indigenous peoples had cultivated corn for thousands of years before European contact, and they shared their knowledge of agricultural techniques with the newcomers. This exchange was crucial for the settlers' survival and adaptation to the New World.

Why is it ironic that the federal government made it illegal for Native Americans to practice their own religion?

This question requires more information. Clearly Native Americans of today have no such religious problems. The question may ironically refer to perhaps the Pilgrims who left England and found little comfort in the Netherlands. With that they obtained a charter from the British Crown to settle in North America. There of course they had complete freedom from the Church of England. The US Constitution makes it clear that no laws adversely effecting religion are allowed.As white settlers moved west, many of them believed they had the duty to teach the Native Tribes Protestant Christianity. Spanish colonists sought to convert Native Americans to Catholicism.
