Thank you We sneak and here's your shmoop du jour

00:05

Brought to you by maze Why They didn't call them

00:08

mays Mays is We'll never know right Check out the

00:11

picture and yeah that one right there Okay Now for

00:15

a question the cultivation of maize depicted in the image

00:18

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
