Indian Cooking
The Indian women couldn't cook their food on a stove because stoves weren't invented yet. So
they roasted their food in ashes and broiled it. They made soup or stew over the fire. They also smoked meat and roasted
corn. It is a lot different then what we do today.

What Indians Wore
Native American women wore many types of clothes. Clothes that we wear today are very
different then what we wear today . They would wear deer skins as clothes. The women would scrap the skin to make them
clean and thin. This took very long time to do and it was hard. The skin must be smoked over a fire to wear it .
