Detailed explanation-1: -Native Americans began farming in what is now present-day Illinois around 7, 000 years ago. Corn, or maize, was one of their most important crops.
Detailed explanation-2: -Few tribes were truly nomadic. Most nomadic tribes had certain locations they would travel to throughout the year. Other tribes had permanent villages and raised crops. Native Americans believed land belonged to the community, not to individuals.
