Detailed explanation-1: -In winter, they hunted birds and animals and lived on stored foods from the previous fall. In spring, they hunted, fished and picked berries. In summer, they grew crops (beans, corn, and squash). In fall, they harvested crops and hunted for foods to preserve and keep for the winter.
Detailed explanation-2: -They stored dried crops in underground pits lined with dried grasses and barks, and could use sumac leaves as wrappings and natural preservatives for dried pieces of squash. Animals were hunted more easily during winter because vegetation died back, and drowsy or hibernating animals were easily found and taken.
Detailed explanation-3: -One of the most used techniques used by the Native Americans for preserving food was drying. Moist food is a breeding ground for enzymes and microorganisms. The drying process reduces the moisture content of the food, and prevents or at least slows down the microbial organisms from spoiling it.
