Indigenous North American Recipes

Indigenous North American cuisine encompasses the diverse food traditions of hundreds of Native nations across the continent, spanning thousands of years. The "Three Sisters"—corn, beans, and squash—form the agricultural foundation for many nations, while hunting, fishing, and foraging are equally vital. Wild rice, bison, salmon, berries, and maple are key ingredients depending on region. A modern Indigenous food sovereignty movement is revitalizing ancestral foodways and decolonizing diets.
