I’ve got a book WILDWOOD WISDOM by Elsworth Jaeger in which he describes the various meats the Indians used, such as rabbit, porcupine, skunk, muskrat, beaver, dog,and lots more.
Think of eating all that WITHOUT SALT!
As the Mountain Men used to say, “Meat’s meat” as they chowed down on a cougar.
As Charlie Russell once said about those whites who had “gone Indian”, “by the time your hair is shoulder length, you can live without salt!”
I totally believe you.
This just a good excuse for my DH to eat Spanish, which I really like.
Real Indian indian is really gross. Earth worms humans. yuck.
I was wondering when the stupidest comment EVER on Free Republic would be made. I just found it. Its yours.
Neither did many Indians. They are not easy to kill with a bow and arrow, or spear. I wasn’t saying there was no good food available. I mentioned buffalo and venison. There were a few others. Mutton? Seriously. They were climbing into the Rockies after those bighorn sheep? I don’t think that was common.
Angie Harmon is part Native American...
This chef has Dine (Navaho) roots. They raised sheep for at least 200 years.
You can be as feckless as you desire. You still haven’t eaten antelope. And not all would have had access to it but many did. Not all had access to bear but the plains nomads did. You think you know so much and you really don’t
Plains Indians weren’t in the Plains until horses. They migrated from farther south.
Ok- I could eat without salt; but moose nose, never!
“They took the whole Cherokee Nation,
Locked us (?) on this reservation....”

really only true for the southern plains....much of the northern tribes were from the Canadian rockies before coming south into the dakota territory
