Explanation

In many Indigenous societies of the Northeast and Southeast, women cultivated crops such as corn, beans, and squash, while also helping care for older community members. Hunting was more commonly associated with men, and council roles varied among nations, so the shared duties best described here are caring for the elderly and growing food.
