The Eastern Agricultural Complex was a group of plants, animals, and tools that ancient Native American farmers relied on to grow their crops. It included things such as corn, beans, squash, sunflowers, turkeys, fish, and squirrels. They also used tools such as hoes and digging sticks to help prepare the soil for planting. All of these things were grown and eaten by Native Americans for thousands of years, and helped them have enough food to survive.
