what did the Caddos eat?

They were farmers. They planted crops in large clearings in the woods. They raised corn, beans and squash. They also hunted the deer, turkey, rabbits, squirrels and other animals in the pine woods around them. The women would gather wild plant food like acorns, black berries, persimmons, roots and many other plants and fruits. But, farming corn, beans, and squash provided the main source of food. Hunting parties of men would be formed to travel west onto the Southern Plains were there were many buffalo at certain times of the year. This was a long trip that could take several weeks. The men would dry the buffalo meat to preserve it so they could carry it home. They also saved the valuable buffalo skins to tan and use as robes. Buffalo skins with the hair on them are very soft and warm.\n\nFor food these Indians farmed corn, beans, squash and other crops. They would also hunt deer and gather berries, roots, and nuts. Early European explorers reported finding the woods cleared like a European park. This means the grass was short and the undergrowth was cleared away. The Indians did not have tractors or lawn mowers to do this. They would set fires in the woods to burn away the old taller grass and small shrubs and bushes without hurting the old trees with thick bark. If this is done every year or so, the fire keeps the undergrowth out. The Indians would do this in the fall and winter. In the spring new green grass would get more sun and grow better on the burned areas than in undergrowth. This tender green grass would attract deer and animals to hunt. These fires also made it easier to find acorns and nuts on the ground. The Southeastern Indians used a lot of acorns for food. So these fires were useful and not destructive. This is one way the Indians controlled their environment.

The first clue should be where they are from.  The were located along the shores of the Pacific Northwest, this would point towards seafood.  For protein it would be mostly whale meat and salmon.  For some additional help you might try http://www.makah.com

Feeding Habits - Warmouths are carnivorous. Crayfish, shrimp, insects and small fishes make up the bulk of its diet. Most of its feeding is done in the morning, as it seems to sleep at night.

In Alaska we've hunted:\nRabbit\ngrouse\nducks\nDall Sheep\nCaribou\nMoose\nBear\nAnd we ate 'em all. We even shared. Good stuff, completely natural.

Yes, there are Caddis flies in the Bow River.\nThe first web site below states" Caddis flies are a large common group of aquatic insects found in the Bow River and its tributaries. Caddis fly larvae build shelters around themselves to protect their delicate gills on their abdomen. Using a "glue" that they secrete from their mouth, the larvae can glue bits of bark, sand, plants or shells together to make a protective shelter.\nThis Caddis fly has used bits of bark to build a home."\nHere are the web sites for you to look at. \nhttp://www.brbc.ab.ca/kids.asp\nhttp://bigrockflyguides.com/bow-river/

Canned corn on a hook or chunks of hot dog .  We have even caught them on jig heads

good question, when you get the answer, please share. I think the first Thanksgiving they probably had wild turkey, and deer and duck. God bless****

No, they are eaten quite often by the natives who fish them out of the rivers.

They are eaten. If not by carnivores then by bacteria, fungi, and invertabrates. Think "circle of life" from the lion king.Then they go to that big perch in the sky.

Yes, they consume vegetation.

I like to eat perch, trout, whitefish, and walleye. I go fishing almost everyday, and on all of our vacations we go fishing. I love it. I liked your story too! keep on fishing!

Diet is reconstructed by reconstructing the animal and reconstructing its environment.\n\nReconstructing the environment can be achieved by looking at the plant fossils that occur alongside an animal. That gives a good indication what type of habitat the animal lived in, whether it was tropical rainforest, arctic tundra, desert etc. With that information it is possible to construct a list of possible diets. For example we won’t speculate that an animal could have eaten bamboo if it live din deserts, and we can rule out that an animal ate lizards if it lived in polar wastes.\n\nThe next step is to reconstruct the animal itself. \n\nThat reconstruction normally starts with the teeth. Teeth can tell us a lot about diet. For instance predatory animals usually have sharp widely-spaced teeth like a lion or crocodile, while herbivores have rounded, closely packed teeth like a cow.  \n\nThe next step is to look at teeth wear. Looking at teeth structure gives us a lot of information about diet but it isn’t perfect since animals like pandas and fruit bats have sharp carnivore type teeth yet live entirely on plants. But plant leaves contain a lot of hard material and they wear teeth away very fast and leave a lot of scratches, so we can see whether an animal ate a lot of plant material by looking at the teeth. That way we can tell separate out animals like pandas and fruit bats that recently evolved a vegetarian diet from their carnivorous descendants.\n\nThe next step is to reconstruct the rest of the skeleton. By looking at the ways the bones are hinged and how big the muscle attachment points were we can get a very good idea of how an animal moved. That then tells us thing like whether a meat eating animal was strong and fast enough to make its own kills like an eagle, or whether it had to rely on scavenging like a vulture. It also tells us whether an animal could climb, or swim or burrow.\n\nThe final step is to look at injuries. When bones break they leave a scar even after hey heal, and starvation and disease also leave marks on bones. By looking for those signs we can see whether the animal was suffering from injuries associated with being kicked by prey animals, or from falls from trees and so forth and we can tel whether its prey was seasonally abundant like salmon, or whether it was available year-round like tropical grasses.\n\nSo now we know what types of food existed alongside the animal because we reconstructed its habitat.\nAnd we know what the animal was adapted to eat by the tooth structure.\nAnd we know how much plant material it ate from the wear on the teeth.\nAnd we know whether the animal got that food by hunting, scavenging, swimming, climbing etc. from the muscle and bone structure.\nAnd we know when that food was available, what sort f animals were being attacked by predators and so forth.\n\nWith all that information we can build up a very accurate picture of animal diets just form fossil evidence.
