<h3>📖 Reading Time</h3>
<div class="reading-box">

<p>How did Native nations get their food? Three main ways: growing, hunting, and gathering.</p>

<p>Many nations were expert farmers. Their most famous crops were the <strong>Three Sisters</strong>: corn, beans, and squash, planted together in one mound! The corn grew tall, the beans climbed the corn like a ladder, and the big squash leaves shaded the ground to keep it moist. The three plants helped each other grow — brilliant!</p>

<p>Nations also hunted deer and buffalo, fished rivers and seas, and <strong>gathered</strong> wild foods like berries, nuts, and wild rice. Nothing was wasted, and people gave thanks for every meal.</p>
