They would grow corn, beans & squash (the three sisters). They had several kinds of beans, kidney and others. Corn was a very important food to the Indians They aren't called Indians anymore, the word Indian was actually a mistake. In 1492, Columbus wanted to sail to India from Spain to get spices, But he ended up in North America instead. (Canada) Since he thought he was in India, he called the people there, Indians They are really called Aboriginals. also they would grow beans that were black and very good for animals to eat.
