Archaeologists have uncovered evidence of ancestral Wichita villages, including grass-house remains, underground food storage, and farming tools made from bison bones.

They actually grew squash, corn and beans together, calling them the three sisters. The corn acted as a natural pole for the beans to climb. The beans pulled nitrogen from the air and converted it into soil nutrients. The Squash was a canopy on the ground. Prevented weeds and kept the soil moist.
