Did your ancestors at least eat beans, corn, and/or squash ("The Three Sisters", as I'm told)?

I dunno, it was a really big thing in Native-American agriculture in what would be the NE United States back then as far as I'm aware (and the logic behind it was GENIUS, especially for replenishing the health of the soil with minimal effort).

Yes, we Cherokee even have a Goddess named Selu who oversaw their growth. We did raise turkeys for feathers, but not meat.

My mother's people are Alaska Native with a very different diet as those crops don't grow in the cold north.
