In a typical Eastern Woodland Indian village, women primarily farmed corn, beans, and squash. This agricultural practice is often referred to as the "Three Sisters" method, which highlighted the importance of these crops in their diet and culture. While men typically engaged in hunting and fishing, women were largely responsible for cultivating and processing these key staples.
