Current Events > Are there Native American restaurants?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I don't see them around like you do any other culture.
---

I'll take that as a no
---

I don't think so. I don't know many people would pay to eat it. and there aren't many natives left. they were practically wiped out. pure bred natives are very rare. every native I ever met was like at least half white

What would they sell besides corn?

Outside of reservations, not at all

well idk, I don't know much about their food which is why i'd be interested in eating at a native restaurant. Surely they boiled turkey and stuff and mixed it up with veggies or something.
---

Did native americans really have any special dishes?

Like I would assume it'd be the same shit that my redneck family members eat. Gamey meats, corn, succatash, stuff like that.
---

They do have native dishes but alot of them are kinda like mexican dishes
---

What about like just a Native American themed restaurant that just has typical American food. That would be cool.

Must be pretty high class if they are all reservations only.

There are a couple, but Native Americans wouldn't really have too many "dishes", I would think, due to how they lived. I did a Google search, and I'm guessing the restaurants mainly serve dishes with a Native American twist.

They exist, I think I ate at a Diner that was run by Sioux women, when I was visiting Badlands last year. I had a buffalo burger, and it was awesome.

Nah the one I saw was more like... How a Mercado might have the women running a restaurant on the other side of the building. Only really intended for people who live there on the reservation. I only saw it because I visited a reservation a decade ago.

If anything the dishes would mostly be different game animals, and it is hard to sustain a restaurant on that unless you have farms that raise them.

The diets of Native American tribes very so much by geography that you could never really have one generic "native american restaurant" that covers all of the traditional foods.

I've eaten in Buffalo Bill before, that was alright. They had a totem pole out front, pretty cool.

Was there a basket of lotions

Because a lot of Native American cuisine was adopted into white American cuisine.

This. Indigenous people covers a ridiculous amount of different cultures. It'd be like saying European food.

Why don't people use Google?

There are several Native American restaurants. That article lists a few.

I think the point was that they are a rarity. It's not like Pizza or Chinese, where you can literally get that sort of food in any one horse town in the middle of nowhere.

There is a cafeteria inside the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian. They serve a variety of dishes including cedar grilled salmon, buffalo steak, chili, wild rice, fiddlehead ferns, and squash.

I live in a city with more native Americans (1.33%) than Asians (1.06%) yet there's still least half a dozen Asian restaurants. I don't know why you're assuming that only people of said ethnicity actually eat at said ethnic restaurant.

That said, I have no fucking idea what native Americans ate or if they actually had a fleshed out cuisine style.
