The Haudenosaunee, also known as the Iroquois Confederacy, transformed their land through agricultural practices, primarily by cultivating the "Three Sisters" crops: corn, beans, and squash. They practiced a form of slash-and-burn agriculture, clearing land by cutting and burning trees to enrich the soil for farming. Additionally, they constructed longhouses and established villages, which further altered the landscape to accommodate their communal living and agricultural needs. Their land management practices ensured sustainable use of resources, fostering a deep connection to their environment.
