By the time European conquistadores and colonizers arrived in the
Americas, starting in 1492, American Indians had already invented
sophisticated hunting and fishing technology. They gathered
hundreds of plants for food, fiber, and medicine, and first
domesticated three-quarters of the food crops raised in the world
today. Food, Farming, and Hunting covers the many contributions
that American Indians have made throughout history, including the
various tools used in hunting, such as bolas, bows and arrows, and
camouflage, and the different methods of fishing for each culture.
The volume identifies the many foods North American, Mesoamerican,
and South American Indians gathered, discusses the birth of
agriculture in the Americas, and describes the plants that were
eventually domesticated and farmed. Later developments and
improvements in farming, such as irrigation and the use of
fertilizer, are also covered.
