Foods

                 The Omaha Native Americans ate many different things.  The Omaha native Americans grew corn, beans, squash, and melons.  Most of the time they ate meat from animals.  In the winter the Omaha Native Americans ate mostly dry food.  They also collected roots, plants, ground nuts, artichoke, and mushrooms.  The Omaha's grew corn, beans, and squash together because the corn stalks help the bean vines grow, and the beans give the corn nitrogen for a couple of years.
                   The squash helps all of the plants because the leaves make shade to make sure the weeds don't spread.  Also the squash stops any animal that would want to eat the vegetables.  Another reason the Omaha Indians grew corn, beans, and squash together is because the three vegetables were called "The Sisters Garden".  The Omaha people would also would look for signs in where they live to see how the temperature for the soil should be.  The Sisters even each other out because corn has carbohydrates, dried beans have a ton of protein.  The Native American would celebrate The Sisters.
