Sebastian's+Southwest+Indian+Food

The Southwest Indians' main foods were corn, maize, mescal and deer. The children were hunters too, believe it or not. They hunted small animals, like prairie dogs, rabbits, and squirrels. However, the very first animal they hunted (and you'll know what I mean by first if you will read on) were mammoths! They had twenty-four types of corn! The main types were white corn and blue corn. The indians would actually make popcorn! It was very important to them to store food, because it would spoil in the sun. They were also able to grow melons and pumpkins.
