Were the Iroquois peoples of the Great Lakes regions farmers and hunters?

  1. True

  2. False

The correct answer is: True

The Iroquois peoples were primarily agriculturalists based on their geographical location and resources. Being from the Great Lakes regions, they were surrounded by fertile soil and had access to fish and game hunting. While the Iroquois did hunt, it was not their primary source of sustenance as they were skilled farmers who grew crops such as corn, beans, and squash. Therefore, the statement that they were farmers and hunters is true, making option A the correct choice. Option B is incorrect because it implies that the Iroquois were solely hunters and did not engage in farming at all.
