They did not practice farming on a large scale.
They fished ( clams, crabs, oysters), hunted (hutia, megalocnus ), and gathered seeds, roots, fruit.
When it was difficult to find food in one place, they moved to another place where they can find more. People who move constantly without establishing a permanent place to live are called nomads.
