Native American meal course

This essential cookbook was written by Native foods education and chef with pride and love by Freddie Bitsoie. He collects and prepares the food with native ingrediencies and presents them in picture and recipe. Many herbs and meats are not familiar in our own kitchen. It is fun to enjoy looking at the pictures in the color, texture and appearance without the attractive smell and taste. He includes some introduction to the different tribes in Turtle Island and heritages and myths. Of common interest is the three sisters dish which is nutritious and healthy. On page 178, it talks about the first creation of human made of dirt. Native American was known in building Stonehenge, wood henge and petroglyph and on p.102, the discovery of arborglyph for seasonal calendar change cut on tree for record. Follow the chef as if enjoying his prepared dishes from Mitsitam Native Foods Café in Washington D C Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indians.
