How did the Shawnee grow there crops?

The Shawnee people practiced a form of agriculture known as "three sisters" planting, which involved cultivating corn, beans, and squash together. This method was beneficial as the corn provided a structure for the beans to climb, while the beans added nitrogen to the soil, improving fertility. The squash spread across the ground, helping to retain moisture and suppress weeds. They utilized techniques like controlled burning to manage land and enhance soil quality for their crops.
