WHERE PEOPLE FEAST
An Indigenous People's Cookbook
The food traditions of North America's indigenous peoples are centuries-old and endure to this day. Feasts that include a bounty of land and sea are the focal point of celebrations and ceremonies; for many, food is what connects them to family, community, and the afterlife. Where People Feast, one of the few indigenous cookbooks available, focuses on Canadian west coast Native cuisine, which takes advantage of the area's abundant seafood, game, fruits, and vegetables-with ingredients both exotic (oolicans, venison, grouse) and common (salmon, crab, berries). Recipes include Smoked Salmon Mousse, Indian Tacos, Venison Meatballs, Alder-Grilled Breast of Pheasant, Blackberry-Glazed Beets, Wild Rice Pancakes, Seaweed and Salmon Roe Soup, and Wild Blueberry Cobbler.

I dont really know if I can define a "hero". I think all people are capable of amazing things. Here are some people that I think are pretty amazing: My parents, Ari, Loretta Oden, Lois Ellen Frank, Walter Whitewater, Jack Strong, Sandy Garcia, Fernando Divina, Dolly Watts, Thomas Keller, Daniel Boulud, Alain Ducasse, Eva Watts, Kieth Basso, Anthony Bourdain, Lauryn Hill, Joseph Ivans, Lozen, Cochise, Nana, All the female characters that were ommitted from Native American History but were there influencing the major decisions of prominent leaders.
