Eastern Woodlands Recipes

Eastern Woodlands cuisine reflects the traditions of nations including the Haudenosaunee, Algonquin, and Ojibwe across the forests and waterways of northeastern North America. The Three Sisters—corn, beans, and squash—are central, alongside wild rice, maple syrup, venison, and freshwater fish. Techniques include boiling in clay pots, smoking, drying, and making pemmican. Cornbread, succotash, and wild berry preparations are enduring dishes of this tradition.
