    Changing the past tense to present tense (these people and practices are still very real, they are not just part of “the past”) is a correction.

        That is incorrect, like incorrectly referring to the agricultural practices only in the past tense, or incorrectly lumping all peoples who lived in the Americas prior to European colonization into one generic group. The fact that both viewpoints are not equally correct is what makes it a correction.

          What the hell are you talking about? The statement “Native Americans used the Three Sisters in the past” is a 100% correct statement. Just because it isn’t as precise as you want it to be doesn’t mean it’s not accurate
