Detailed explanation-1: -The Wampanoag grew corn, squash, and beans – crops known as the “Three Sisters”.
Detailed explanation-2: -Farmed foods such as corn and beans made up about 70% of the Wampanoag diet. Although the Wampanoag favored meat, meat made up less than 20% of their diet. Roots, berries and other gathered plant materials, as well as eggs, fish, and shellfish (both fresh and dried) made up the rest.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Wampanoag people, the “People of the First Light, ” are responsible for saving the Pilgrims from starvation and death during the harsh winter of 1620–21.
Detailed explanation-4: -North American Native Americans first grew corn over 2000 years ago. Native Americans ate it and also used it to brew beer before Europeans arrived in the New World. When Columbus landed in the West Indies in the late 1400s, the people living there gave him corn, which he took back and introduced to Europe.
