Since time immemorial, Indigenous tribes like the Hopi Tribe of the United States Southwest have had agriculture systems to help them survive several climate fluctuations, including droughts and floods. Their familiarity with the place and adaptive management techniques has enabled them to harvest and grow food, ensuring their well-being. Times have changed, and tribes have adapted, but the main thing that has not changed is the "Why?" The "Why" is based on cultural and spiritual reasons rooted in relationships with the environment. As long as the "why" remains, tribal agriculture systems like the Hopi and other Indigenous tribes have established will continue to be sustainable. I will discuss Indigenous agriculture, emphasizing the importance of place, culture, and values that collectively demonstrate the "Why."
