Detailed explanation-1: -Caddo women harvested crops of corn, beans, pumpkins, and sunflowers. Caddo men hunted for deer, buffalo, and small game and went fishing in the rivers.
Detailed explanation-2: -The large beehive-shaped grass houses of the Caddo and Wichita peoples were permanent dwellings found mainly in East Texas and adjoining areas of neighboring states. Grass houses were much larger than tipis, sometimes reaching 50 feet tall and housing two or more families!
Detailed explanation-3: -For example, the Caddos practiced crop rotation, planting different crops on a plot of land each year. This rotation prevents the soil from wearing out.
