Native spokes-people, organizations testify how funding cuts are going to literally create Native hunger and health problems. Oneida Nation spokesperson Ray Halbritter testifies clearly and concisely how Gaming Act changes will stop those tribes who do have successful casinos from filling in gaps with the only Native enterprise that has actually proven successful. The National Indian Education Association states how "food for the minds" of our Native youth will be reduced to starvation diet too. But kids who are litrerally physically hungry are not able to pay attention to their studies much anyway. That's why we try to have substantial hot lunch and if possible hot breakfast programs in our schools. To provide nutrition they otherwise don't get.
Blueberries -- Economics of commercial blueberries for Native people. Read above this sub-section and below it. Blueberries hardly show up till the end. This is mostly a story about typical hard times for reservation people. Think about this next time you are eating some bought in a store or restaurant..

Two Moons (Months) of Sacred Food: Maple Sugar and Wild Rice
--Wild Rice -- Mahnoomin, sacred seeds -- is still a staple of the diets of a few (mostly Anishnaabeg) people who live near the Great Lakes. Anishinaabemowin vocabulary-builder, for many of the processes of ricing. You should be able to read it even if uninterested in the language.
--Maple sugar-- Wendjidu Zinzibahkwud, Real Sugar -- was a staple of the diets of Anishinaabeg peoples, and probably all who lived where sugar maples (there are many species) grow. Some traditional sugaring is still done today. Anishinaabemowin vocabulary-builder.

-- WIISINIWAN -- RECIPES real ones you can use and traditional methods/processes that are cultural education you can't usually actually do. Native cookbooks; some cookbooks for kids.

What a great question!!! I ahve a native american on my job-site and he always indicates that his native food is similar to mexican food. He said once that his mother used to hand make the corn tortillas (WOW) he did state though that their native food is not as spicy as mexican food, but it also isn't tex-mex. However their practices have been lost for many decades too.

If you're looking for strictly Native American, I had a really great buffalo stew at a Cherokee pow wow I went to last spring. If you're looking for something generally American though, you can't go wrong with turkey.

Depends if they were farmers or hunter/gatherers. Berries, nuts, and grains. Meat if they can catch a wild animal or fish.
