Longhouse Of Huron Wendat
A longhouse or long house is a type of long, proportionately narrow, single-room building for communal dwelling. It has been built in various parts of the world including Asia, Europe, and North America. Many were built from timber and often represent the earliest form of permanent structure in many cultures. Types include the Neolithic long house of Europe, the Norman Medieval Longhouses that evolved in Western Britain (''Tŷ Hir'') and Northern France (''Longère''), and the various types of longhouse built by different cultures among the indigenous peoples of the Americas. Europe The Neolithic long house type was introduced with the first farmers of Central and Western Europe around 5000 BCE, 7,000 years ago. These were farming settlements built in groups of six to twelve longhouses; they were home to large extended families and kin. The Germanic cattle-farmer longhouses emerged along the southwestern North Sea coast in the third or fourth century BCE and may be the ance ...

Three Sisters (agriculture)
The Three Sisters () are the three main agricultural crops of various indigenous people of Central and Indigenous peoples of the Americas, North America: Cucurbita, squash, maize ("corn"), and climbing Bean, beans (typically Phaseolus acutifolius, tepary beans or Phaseolus vulgaris, common beans). In a technique known as companion planting, the maize and beans are often planted together in mounds formed by hilling soil around the base of the plants each year; squash is typically planted between the mounds. The cornstalk serves as a Trellis (architecture), trellis for climbing beans, the beans Nitrogen fixation#Root nodule symbioses, fix nitrogen in their root nodules and stabilize the maize in high winds, and the wide leaves of the squash plant shade the ground, keeping the soil moist and helping prevent the establishment of Weed, weeds. Indigenous peoples throughout North America cultivated different varieties of the Three Sisters, adapted to varying local environments. The ind ...

Polyculture
In agriculture, polyculture is the practice of growing more than one crop species together in the same place at the same time, in contrast to monoculture, which had become the dominant approach in developed countries by 1950. Traditional examples include the intercropping of the Three Sisters (agriculture), Three Sisters, namely maize, beans, and Cucurbita, squashes, by indigenous peoples of Central and North America, the rice-fish systems of Asia, and the complex mixed cropping systems of Nigeria. Polyculture offers multiple advantages, including increasing total yield, as multiple crops can be harvested from the same land, along with reduced risk of crop failure. Resources are used more efficiently, requiring less inputs of fertilizers and pesticides, as interplanted crops suppress weeds, and legumes can Nitrogen fixation, fix nitrogen. The increased diversity tends to reduce losses from Pest control, pests and plant diseases, diseases. Polyculture can yield multiple harvests ...
