Farming

Women planted the crops. The Iroquois used a slash and burn method. That means they would cut everything down and burn what was left. This would eliminate any insects or disease in the soil. After farming an area for several years, the Iroquois moved to a new location. This allowed the land to regain its nutrients. Rotating fields is a practice still used in farming today.

They used pointed sticks to dig holes in the ground and then they would put fish heads in the holes to help fertilize the soil.

The men also helped clear the fields for planting

When the ground was ready for planting they would spread seeds for all the vegetables. Corn,

beans and squash were the main crop.

Elders

• Grandparents or older uncles and aunts were respected advisors in a longhouse village. They played a very important role in teaching the children the skills they needed in life. They also taught them how to behave and be successful, responsible adults.
