Welcome back to Down On The Farm. Today on the channel, we will be figuring out How did the Native Americans farm? Farming in history. Back in the early days, the Indians were just using stone hatchets, hoes, and bone shovels when farming. The arrival of white settlers really made farming for native americans more convenient.

In today’s video, we are going to talk about How did the Native Americans farm? Farming in history. (9:58 min.)
