Before the 1500’s, the western plains of North America were dominated by farmers One group, the Mandans, lived in the upper Missouri River country, primarily in present – day North Dakota They had large villages of houses built close together The tight arrangement

enabled the Mandans to protect themselves more easily from the attacks of others who might

seek to obtain some of the food these highly capable farmers stored from one year to the next The women had primary responsibility for the fields They had to exercise

considerable skill to produce the desired results, for their northern location meant fleeting growing seasons Winter often lingered; autumn could be ushered in by severe frost For good measure, during the spring and summer, drought, heat, hail, grasshoppers, and other

frustrations might await the wary grower

Under such conditions, Mandan women had to grow maize capable of weathering adversity They began as early as it appeared feasible to do so in the spring, clearing the land, using fire to clear stubble from the fields and then planting From this point until the first green corn could be harvested, the crop required labor and vigilance

Harvesting proceeded in two stages In August the Mandans picked a smaller

amount of the crop before it had matured fully This green corn was boiled, dried and shelled,

with some of the maize slated for immediate consumption and the rest stored in animal –

skin bags Later in the fall, the people picked the rest of the corn They saved the best of the harvest for seeds or for trade, with the remainder eaten right away or stored for alter use in underground reserves With appropriate banking of the extra food, the Mandans protected

themselves against the disaster of crop failure and accompany hunger

The woman planted another staple, squash, about the first of June, and harvested it near the time of the green corn harvest After they picked it, they sliced it, dried it, and strung
