How common was agriculture among North American (not including Mexico) tribes pre-colonization?

What genocide did Fred and Barney participate in?
Extremely common. The settlers only survived by learning native farming techniques, like burying fish heads with their crops and by growing native domesticated foods, as most of the New World wasn't particularly great for growing Old World crops, at least in the areas originally settled.
The non farming natives only became a thing once European horses were brought into the New World and became prolific enough for a new culture to be formed around the horse and chasing the buffalo of the plains.
Besides the buffalo chasing tribes which were brought on by Old World arrivals, I don't think there was a native culture that didn't farm heavily.

I'm not very familiar with Flinstones lore.

In the recent comic, their boss wants more land to expand his real estate business, so he dupes everyone into starting a war with the tree people. Bam bam is the sole survivor, and is adopted by Barney and his wife.

Except the only ones that did farm were around the Great Lakes; farming corn imported from trade with the Mesoamericans. The natives in the Great Plains almost never farmed as they just followed the bison migration as there was enough bison to sustain them and Bison provided nearly everything needed. On the Pacific coast, they relied on fishing.

Nigger half my post was about the buffalo, why are you telling me about the buffalo?

Buffalo chasing was done since the beginning of the time, without horses since they just followed the herd and hunted stragglers. The only major tribes that farmed in North America were in Mexico or near the Great Lakes. The rest relied on other sustenance.

It's a pretty great comic.

The natives near where I grew up were hunter-gatherers.
Depends on the area and era. Some tribes didn't even practice horticulture. One group built a state level society off of salmon fishing. (The only time a state developed without agriculture.) Horticulture and farming were practiced all over the place at different times. Lots of tribes just did the hunter-gatherer thing.

A portuguese sailor named Giovanni da Verrazzano sailed up the East Coast and described it as "densely populated" and so "smoky with Indian bonfires" that you could smell them burning hundreds of miles out at sea.
