Merch lives in Sioux territory. I don't know what they eat, but I live in
Cherokee territory and they have all kinds of 'indiginous' foods that
would seem very ordinary on anyone's table really.
Native Americans were for the most part unaware of spices as europeans
know them so you might find things a bit bland but filling and wholesome.
Some things you don't often see but Cherokee eat often are Venison,
Buffalo, Aligator, Rabbit, snakes, frogs, and just about any bird large
enough to be worth cleaning.
If you haven't been to your local Indian reservation to dine, I strongly
reccomend you do. There are foods available there that you cannot buy
anywhere else either due to species protection laws or more likely, low
demand outside the reservations and hunting laws which restrict game like
deer etc to your own table and not for sale.
Regards,
Jeff
