European settlers learned how to grow new crops like maize (corn), tomatoes, tubers (potato's). They also learned to fertilize crops, the agrarian tribes were very skilled at this. They also discovered new smelting techniques; high altitude smelting - Chocolate (yes before 1492 there was no Chocolate in Europe, and it was introduced first by Franciscan Friars in Chocolate Brandy). Although not accredited till many years later, the modern world owes the 'freeze drying' technique to Native Americans. Native Americans can be credited with the 'discovery' of Aspirin, as well as "the pill" (Birth Control). Native American's used the bark of a willow tree for pain relief, this was later refined as Aspirin; and a certain 'red potato' was used by Native Americans to prevent pregnancy, this was later refined (or used as the basis for) modern birth control pills. The motto "Don't tread on me" was taken from Native American law concepts, the story of the snake (though you will find very little credit for it). The current "Seal of the United States" is an adaptation of the Iroquois Confederacy.
