During the Mississippian period, many Native Americans primarily grew maize (corn), which became a staple crop, along with beans and squash, known as the "Three Sisters." These agricultural practices supported the development of complex societies and large, sedentary communities, particularly in the southeastern United States. The fertile river valleys, especially along the Mississippi River, provided ideal conditions for farming and led to population growth and the establishment of significant trade networks.
