What kind of food did the poncas eat?

The Ponca people traditionally consumed a diet that included a variety of foods such as buffalo, deer, and other game animals, which were essential for meat. They also gathered wild plants, roots, and berries, and cultivated crops like corn, beans, and squash, often referred to as the "Three Sisters." In addition, fish and other aquatic resources were part of their diet when available. This diverse diet reflected their adaptation to the Great Plains environment.
