Indigenous America, it is sometimes forgotten but the indigenous people of los americas are the original people of the corn. They had successfully cultivated hundreds of varieties of organic corn many moons ago. The amazing maize had many uses and formed the staple food for everyone at the time. The Hopi, Maya, Inca, and Aztec’s had all thrived on this sacred plant whose spirit was worshipped accordingly. Also sacred to the indigenous peoples were the animals. Although some tribes hunted, other tribes believed that killing beyond necessity was to open the gateways to hell. In a recent talk, the infamous Rodney Coronado suggested that his Indian descendants were primarily vegetarian, living  primarily off fruits, seeds, nuts, veggie and so on. At least until the elders prophesied of a dark era that would involve drastic changes.
