I found this website and I thought the people here would find it interesting:

Thanks for this. I hadn't seen this one yet. My restaurant evolved from pre-reservation Apache foods. Other key names: Sioux Chef and Nephi Craig. I'm planning a dinner with Sioux Chef in April. Brontisky and Assoc are trying to get indigenous chefs from around the globe together.

I am glad you liked this. I was surprised to see the number of dishes that are native to my region of the continent.

I'm suck in Sweden but a friend  Isi who is Native American,  she is from two tribes and had restaurant who only made pre- reservation food, she made this amazing corn dish with reindeer, it should deer but well all we had was reindeer.  She also sent over when  my daughter  was born,  blue corn mush powder with herbs for good luck.

 

Since then I have wanted to try more food native food.

A while back I read a native American cookbook.  I confess I found nothing I was tempted to cook or eat.  Disclaimer, my father was of Cherokee descent.

 

I like the idea though.

Me too,

 

I'm 1/8 Native American because my grandmother's father was an Indian.

 

That said, I have none of the culture. She was totally southern culture, in a small town in Louisiana, and that's what's been passed down to us kids.

 

All the good sources say that the languages, traditions, and customs are disappearing. Not much can be done about that. Time moves on in the technological age that would make a cave man's or woman's head spin right off their shoulders.

 

Good luck to anyone who tries to prolong and promote the culture of my heritage, but I'm not real optimistic about it,
