They ate a wide variety of food items, depending on where they were living. Corn (maize) was brought into the area from Mexico and was widely grown together with other vegetables like beans and squash. They also hunted both small animals like rabbits and squirrels, and larger game animals like bison and various types of deer. In some lake regions they ate wild rice, and also ate fish either from the ocean or from freshwater lakes and rivers. They dried many foods to eat in the winter. And they also drank water from freshwater rivers.

The Mound Builder got on horses and used spears and throwing knives to kill American bison. Once dead, the Mound Builders skinned the bison (buffallo) to line their houses.
