also played a significant role in which of the following
- 00:21
regions And here attention is a great plains north degree
- 00:25
based in southwest So the picture makes it clear that
- 00:27
northeastern natives were all about that maze about that maze
- 00:33
Yeah all right But what about the natives everywhere else
- 00:37
on the continent Were they corn lovers too Will be
- 00:41
claims that the native people of the pacific northwest were
- 00:44
into maze But we happen to know that they were
- 00:46
more into fishing than into agriculture So we could nick
- 00:50
speak A seems to think that the natives of the
- 00:52
great plains were corn lovers and it's Not a terrible
- 00:55
gas Since these days the midwest is well one big
- 00:58
cornfield But back in the day the native peoples of
- 01:01
the plains were too busy chasing buffalo to patiently wait
- 01:04
for maize to grow Where a poet we had no
- 01:08
Idea don't it Well there goes our career in poetry
- 01:11
Anyway Let's get rid of a c tells us that
- 01:14
natives of the great basin were corn masters but it's
- 01:17
yanking our chain Though corn master sounds like an excellent
- 01:20
job title like you know the sense a of corn
- 01:23
cool the great basin both places like death valley not
- 01:27
exactly hospitable teo corn And even though everywhere in the
- 01:31
great basin isn't quite that extreme in general the soil
- 01:35
isn't all that fertile certainly not fertile enough for corn
- 01:38
inmates This would have made it tough for natives to
- 01:40
try their hand at cultivating right Instead great basin natives
- 01:44
figured hunting and gathering was the way to go So
- 01:47
we can say goodbye to see that leaves us with
- 01:49
the the southwest Well southwestern groups like the pueblo people
- 01:53
were true masters of maize cultivation They figured out a
- 01:56
unique dual irrigation system which allowed them to not only
- 01:59
throat corn but to harvest the crop twice a year
- 02:03
So it looks like choice D wins the award for
- 02:05
rightist answer and the southwestern natives win the contest for
- 02:09
total corn domination Corn wars the concept for the next
- 02:15
hot reality show What do you think Uh probably not 00:02:21.735 --> [endTime] In a cornfield far far away
