American Native Food

 

              

 

For many American Native people this triad
is called the Three Sisters:
corn, beans and squash.
This trinity of food has a variety of names
through out Native country, but the three staples
remain the heart of many Indigenous diets.

 

If you have never tried an American Native taco or fry bread
at a Pow wow, what are you waiting for?
You have missed some wonderful food.
