Describe how the climate and geography of the middle of the continent resulted in the specific food ways of the Plains Indians


The Native Americans who lived in the area that is now the American Midwest were mostly nomadic hunters, following the great herds of bison across the flat plains for sustenance. The land was rugged and generally unsuitable for agriculture. Those nations that settled along the fertile Mississippi and Missouri River valleys, however, developed farm-based societies supported by crops of beans, corn, and squash.
