No.  It must be cooked.  But the tribes that used (and still use) it, are
traditionally hunter-gatherer tribes.  So, if it's used by
hunter-gatherers, why isn't it paleo.  The no cooking criteria seems at bit
arbitrary.

Careful to over generalize.  Not all indian tribes ate corn, nor engaged in
agriculture.  Most in fact did not.
