slash and burn type of agriculture...
Another thing the indians did in the east was burn areas to turn them into grasslands which were used by buffalo. The Shenandoah Valley was once a buffalo common, and after the settlers there drove them away they continued to use areas in Kentucky, especially north of the Green River and Mammoth Cave. It was called the barrens and was quite large.
