Best Answer

The American Indians hunted, farmed, fished, and gathered berries. The area they lived in designated what they ate. Native Americans in the Midwest ate fish, buffalo, deer, birds and small game, such as rabbits. Meat could be cooked fresh or smoked, dried, and stored for long journeys or winter months.

Flatbread is another common food still to this day. Native American tribes in the North West practice whale hunting and that was a common staple in their diet, along with various sea foods. Plains tribes, like my own, were hunter/gatherers who dieted similarly as the above answer explains, with buffalo as an important animal. South-western tribes ate what would come out of the desert, and woodlands tribes were also hunter/gatherers who potentially had a wider range of game to choose from.
