Amazing! Get in touch with your roots!, May 17, 2012 By Joshua P. Strodtbeck "fishstik45" (Indianapolis, IN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME) This review is from: Pow Wow Chow: A Collection of Recipes from Families of the Five Civilized Tribes : Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek and Seminole (Paperback) Some of the recipes in this book are by the nation's most famous Cherokee, Elizabeth Warren, who is 0/32 native on her mother's side. As a fellow 0/32 Cherokee, I have enjoyed getting in touch with my ancestry through some of the delightful recipes Dr. Warren has published, such as a recipe for herbed tomatoes. I absolutely recommend this for anyone with a similar ancestry who wants to know more about the traditions passed down from their forebears.

Based on the publicity, I’d say she might have a best seller on her hands...

Hilarious.

But for a more authentic NA cooking experience try this:
http://www.amazon.com/Ilimpachi-Were-Gonna-Eat-Chickasaw/dp/1935684035/

And you don’t have to be 0/32 anything to try them.

Are the recipes as authentic as her ancestry?

The Five Civilized Tribes

Any bets on which reporter will ask her to identify the uncivilized tribes?

The Woodland Native Americans of 1000 B.C. to 1000 A.D. were pretty civilised. At Pinson, Tennessee, there was a community of around 12,000 living in a city. They traded with others from the West and East coast as evidenced by the artifacts found there. There were a great many more civilised Native Americans that the five mentioned.

That’s not so bad. Some years ago the Canadian govt gave a $1,500 grant to an “emerging Native poet” named Molly Morin who subsequently used it to publish a poetry book entitled “Where Did My Ass Go?”

I'm sure the NYSlimes' Boston Glob will ask after cribbing her.

But that's only after somebody from the Boston Herald asks her first.

Fairfax County VA had two sites of about 20,000 Indians BEFORE COLUMBUS. Both were on the Potomac. One was above Great Falls (which meant it had a regular source of fresh water right at the edge of the TIdewater Region. Another was along the Occoquan where it feeds into the Potomac.

That was a serious civilization.

Note to all those folks who think the Indians on the East Coast were exceptionally primitive because they left no metal implements or tools behind ~ the soils in the East are just acid enough that iron tools dropped by early English pioneers in the 1600s have totally dissolved!

We have ceramic wear produced by the Indians along the Occoquan ~ they began making European designs in the 1500s ~ but there are shards of earlier traditional Indian designs dating back hundreds of years.

Hey, what about the Celts? Ain’t we civilized? We’ve got potatoes, cabbage and Haggis. So there.

“The Woodland Native Americans of 1000 B.C. to 1000 A.D. were pretty civilised.”

The mound builders (they left a site of much interest in southern Wisconsin, the name of which I cannot remember) seem to have been of a culture very different from and not ancestral to the Indians living in that region when European explorers/settlers arrived in the 1600s. My knowledge pool about these people is very shallow. Their civilization seems to have faded away without “morphing” into the culture limned in, for example, Longfellows’ Song of Hiawatha. There’s another impressive mound builder ruin near East St. Louis, Cahokia Mound, if I remember correctly, likely similar to the Pinson Community.
