The creativity with which Native American groups brought ingredients together reflected an awarenessof and respect for the environment.When it comes to what kind of foods Native Americans ate in the past, their meals were often about both sustenance and ceremony. Native American groups thrived on staple foods like corn, beans, and squash. When available, meat, fruit, and other vegetables were mixed in, not to mention roots and greens.Many foods Native Americans ate were high in fat, protein, and carbohydrates - intentionally loaded with nutrients in order to combatpotential hardship and struggle. Foodwasalso used for celebrating and bringing people together - a social tool that strengthened communal bonds. What Native Americans ate is still very much a part of culture and life today - traditional foods that have endured for centuries. Photo: Pierce, C.C.
