Detailed explanation-1: -There were more than two dozen Native American groups living in the southeast region, loosely defined as spreading from North Carolina to the Gulf of Mexico. These nations included the Chickasaw (CHIK-uh-saw), Choctaw (CHAWK-taw), Creek (CREEK), Cherokee (CHAIR-oh-kee), and Seminole (SEH-min-ohl).
Detailed explanation-2: -Common food practices: corn farming Notably, Cherokee women planted and harvested crops, including beans, squash, corn, tobacco, and sunflowers. They supplemented their diets with acorns, nuts, seeds, and fruits. Since they did not use any fertilizer, they had to burn the fields and create new ones every season.
Detailed explanation-3: -Wild game was abundant in most of the Southeast. The people hunted deer, elk, beavers, squirrels, rabbits, and more. In what is now Florida, turtles and alligators were an important part of the diet. Southeast tribes fished in the rivers and sea and gathered oysters, clams, mussels, and crabs.
