Native American grasses refer to the various species of grasses that are native to the regions inhabited by Indigenous peoples in North America. These grasses play a crucial role in the ecosystem, providing habitat for wildlife and contributing to soil health. Some common native grasses include big bluestem, little bluestem, and switchgrass, which are well-adapted to local climates and soil types. These grasses have been used by Native American tribes for various purposes, including traditional crafts, food, and medicine.
