Answer 1

Haliwa-Saponi Tribe is one of the original American indian ancestral tribes from which the people descended.The word Haliwa comes from the two counties, Halifax and Warren, which are the two counties in which the majority of the population of the tribal people live. Saponi means "Red Earth People".
Corn is considred as a given gift from the Creator and is a main staple of their diet.
Here is one recipe they prepare:

Pow-wow Potluck
Ingredients:
1 lb hamburger meat, browned,crumbled,and drained
1 (15 ounce) can Mexican chili beans
1 (15 ounce) can manwich sloppy joe sandwich sauce
For toppings:
fritos corn chips
shredded cheese
diced tomatoes
chopped onions
sour cream
shredded lettuce
jalapenos (etc.)

Brown, crumble, and drain hamburger meat in a large skillet.
In the same skillet, combine the cooked meat, beans, and sloppy joe sauce.
Simmer until heated through, approximately 5-10 minutes.
To serve, put a layer of corn chips (I use chili cheese Fritos) on the bottom of a plate.
Top with the meat mixture, then top with the toppings of your choice.
