To be more accurate, smallpox killed somewhere between like 65-95% of the native american population after contact with Europeans. And, of course, many of their remaining descendants ended up concentrated into reservations.

So, I imagine if you were going to find native american cuisine restaurants, they'd be rare but typically in and around reservations.

If y'all get a chance, try Navajo Tacos.

Because you arent looking?

We have a few here in my city... Maybe you just gotta actually go look around a bit more...?

I've seen plenty of food trucks but it was in the South West. So your mileage may vary.

Natv in Broken Arrow is pretty good.

Important to point out: native food culture was wiped out because of the forced migration of natives. The federal government subsidized natives with basic food ingredients that were not commodities to them. I can’t really imagine what they ate prior to being pushed out of their native lands without doing a serious deep dive into pre-19th century accounts of their food.

I just started to listen to A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn on Audible. https://www.audible.com/pd/B0030H777E?source_code=ASSORAP0511160007

The first chapter talks about Columbus and the genocide he started. It's eye opening.

Canadian Native here, if anyone ever has the chance to try moose meat, do it! It's easily my favorite meat, I'd take moose over a t-bone or prime rib every single time. If I had to eat it every single day for the rest of my life I'd die with a smile on my face. You can make steaks out of it, make ground moose burger, cut it into small slices and stew it, or one of my favorite treats, turn it into smoky jerky etc. Lot's of different ways to cook it.

The taste is hard to describe, it's a bit gamey but not overly so (at least to me, I grew up on the stuff) and it's very tender and flavorful. Tastes a bit like beef I guess but IMO much better.

While not the same, I recall reading that Barbeque is a native American cooking technique that has been changed into what it is today.
