It all depended on what area you lived. Eskimos probably did not eat corn and squash. Navajo's probably did not eat seals and whales. I lived on the black feet reservation many years ago. The plains Indians main food was the Buffalo or some would call a bison. They would also incorporate deer, moose, Elk, and antelope To their diet. The Indians of central and South America ate a lot of monkeys. Many ate wild vegetables or plants Depending on the areas they lived. Currently I live in Washington. Most of the Indians that lived in Washington ate salmon. Not everybody ate Buffalo. Not everybody ate monkeys. Not everybody ate salmon. Not everybody ate seals. The number one thing that was common for all the Indians was, they ate protein.

I had the privilege of being billited on a reservation belonging to the Tsutini nation in Calgary, just on the outskirts in fact. It was really an amazing experience and similar in many respects to our connection to mother nature. We had the wonderful opportunity of visiting a neighboring nation, known as Siksika and visited many sacred sites as well as a feast at an event center. The food was quite an experience and learned their history from them not from some non native narrator. I found them more sensitive than we Maori from New Zealand and reserved. I'll never forget the quite hospitality of these people. Thank you for sharing.

This Native Sioux calls Bull Shit! do your home work instead of bringing in modern American dietary guidelines.
We ate primarily meat, meat was always available, and the corn squash, and beans were seasonal, as were fruits. We jerked and dried meat for the winter, we made pemmican: , hunted meny animals, and food was plentiful until white people invaded our land and killed everything. Our people were healthy without doctors, our teeth were white and strong without dentists, and we lived into our 70s and 80s. Like I said. Do your home work!

Most of these are still common food staples on the reservation where I was born and raised(Oglala Lakota Sioux from Pine Ridge) although I cant speak for the Navajo recipes shown, but fry bread is everywhere! Lol To this day almost every ceremonies and gathering involves most of these foods. To this day I still take Wasna with me when I go hunting.

There were as many people in the america's as in europe when the spanish and other europians came in the 1500 hundreds then they died of disease and left an almost empty continent, what those millions of people ate is lost to history, when they were being hunted to extinction it was whatever they could find same as today

I have eaten them all.
Even today in my mountian living I still have some of these ingredients in my cold storage room.
It doesn't make sense to eat the stuff in grocery stores when mother nature provides us with what we need. But that's just me.
Not for socialites.
Aho.

There were feline, canine, camelid, bovine, and species such as reindeer/caribou, moose, deer, and sheep, but porcine species? Scientists and the historical record suggest not about pig native to these lands prior to 1492 CE.

Brown people from the Americas tend to keep and protect their culture, food, history, and lineage. There are similarities, but no. You dont basterdize either cultures to appease your basic palettes. Tsk tsk

Makes me so angry to know there were a hundred million native Americans living the life before Europe came and disease wiped out 90% of the population. And put the remaining in residential schools.

Many of us other Americans like in northern and southern regions. I wonder if the creator(s) could offer us a video on Native Canadians' and Native Mexicans diets in the years before 1500 CE.

This is a very interesting video. I have always wondered what the native Indians of central Illinois ate. We live in a culture that is so accustomed to eating sugar and other sweets.

Fry bread was something the indigenous people fell back on when the whites enslaved them. That's when many tribal people started to develop diabetes forced to eat white's food.

It's disgusting what the European settlers did to the rightful indigenous owners of this country. I feel shame every time I think about it.

Fry bread was survival food on the reservations. Rations from the government. It was not a traditional food until then.
