Detailed explanation-1: -Corn, beans, and squash were the most important crops. The Ancestral Pueblo people depended on agriculture to sustain them in their more sedentary lifestyle. Corn, beans, and squash were the most important crop items.
Detailed explanation-2: -Corn was the most important staple food grown by Native Americans, but corn stalks also provided a pole for beans to climb and the shade from the corn benefited squash that grew under the leaves. The beans, as with all legumes, provided nitrogen for the corn and squash.
Detailed explanation-3: -Prior to the arrival of the Spanish in Pueblo territory in 1540, corn was a staple crop. Men and women planted the corn near their villages, harvesting it in the fall. After it was harvested, the women ground the kernels into corn flour, which they used for baking bread indoors.
