The Native American Cookbook Recipes From Native American Tribes, offers a large collection of recipes from and inspired by Native Americans. More than just a cookbook, it is a trip into history. The book seems like a personal journey for Mullins back his heritage as a Cherokee. This book offers time-proven favorites, inventive new ideas and contemporary twists on Native cuisine.

Native American delicacies have shaped American culture as a whole. Today's society owes much of what it has learned about food and the natural American resources to the early Native Americans. Included in this book are many recipes that cover a wide range of Native American cooking. Some recipes are tradition while others have been redeveloped over the years to include new ways of cooking and include new spices and ingredients. The recipes in this collection have been chosen in a way to stay true to the Native experience.

The recipes in this collection include: Clover Tea, Pemmican, Spiced Winter Squash Butter, Saut ed Native Squash & Potatoes, Cherokee Succotash, Cherokee Fried Hominy, Dandelion Greens, Easy Corn Pudding, Three Sisters Stew, Apache Acorn Soup, Winter Squash Soup, Black Bean Soup, Seminole Pumpkin Soup, Indian Spice Cake, Native American Cinnamon Wild Rice Pudding, Rhubarb Pie, Cherokee Huckleberry Bread, Frying Pan (Blue) Bread, Rabbit Soup, Cured Venison, Buffalo Stew, Baked Quail With Mushrooms, Baked Trout, Bison Chili, Maple Salmon, Native Skillet Chicken and many, many more.

In Native American history, there are many legends about UFOs, gods and aliens. There has always been a connection between Native Americans and beings from other parts of the universe, referred to as Star People. Perhaps due to familiarity with celestial fixtures, it has been easier for Native Americans to relate events they have experienced on earth with things such as the formation of the Pleiades. The experience of tribal individuals with the Pleiades is featured quite proximately in legends across many tribes including Cherokee, Onondaga, Lakota and others. It is not hard to believe they would identify an event with a star, being the nature and history of tribes was to exist outdoors. The night sky would be paid much more attention by one who did not live indoors.

Through the many legends and tribes you can find instances where natives are either rescued or helped by gods or Star Beings. One Lakota legend tells of seven maidens who are pursued by a bear. Just as they are about to be killed, they fall to their knees and pray for intervention. Just as the bear charges, they are lifted high into the air, and the bear is left to claw at the risen ground. The basis of this story is Devil's Tower in Wyoming. The seven maidens became the Pleiades, and the bear's claws are said to have carved the geological features of the rock.

The Pleiades is also the basis of the creation of the Hopi Indians. The Dakota also speak of 'the abode of the ancestors' or Tiyami as a place of their origin. Other native oral histories, or legends, speak of an origin, in the stars generally, or other constellations. The Cree did not originate from human beings but from people from the constellations who later became humans. While others like the Lakota tell stories of beings from the skies.

Many prominent stories tell of the interbreeding with gods and star people and how their offspring must learn to interact and exist with the tribes. In many cases they are raised in a way that they are trained to bring a message or medicine to help the people. In some cases as Po a, they learn of a way to help their people through rituals such as the Sun-dance which cured illness and spread prosperity through the tribe.

Regardless of the tribe or the whether the interaction is through a god or star people, there is proof that the ancient people of North America believed they have been visited by unexplainable beings from the heavens. The stories in the collection tell of many different tribes and their experiences and the outcome of walking with these beings.

Native American history is filled with stories about animals, creation of the Earth and man, life lessons and of course ghosts... Ghosts, spirits, and the walking dead were often known to pay visits to their family and those left behind. Many of these stories revolved around lost loves and attempts to reclaim the person taken from them. Other stories spun tales of revenge and payback for those who wronged them. In any case death was looked at as a doorway to the afterlife and not to be feared. In this book, you will be given many opportunities to relive the past cultures of many tribes and their beliefs in ghosts, spirits and the afterlife. You will be presented with stories of individuals who transcended the plane of death to interact with the living and other spirits who have remained earthbound and troubled who have to work through a life lesson to successfully move on. As is traditional, these stories are here for you to share and pass on to the next generation.

Native American Mythology began long before the European settlers arrived on North American soil. Contrary to popular beliefs, there is more to Native American Folklore than stories of buffalo hunts, teepee living and animal stories. Hundreds of tribes throughout North American created a huge mythological system that has rivaled that of the Greeks. The Sioux Indians are no exception, they have offered many enjoyable and educational legends of their people, and beliefs.

Included in this anthology are a group of collected works from the Sioux, a confederacy of several tribes that speak three different dialects, the Lakota, Dakota and Nakota. The Sioux, a proud people with a rich heritage, have recorded a huge amount of their history through storytelling. They were the masters of the North American plains and prairies. In these stories you will relive their history and the lives of one of North America's First People. The stories in this book have been handed down from generation to generation. And in such tradition, they are now handed down to you to share with the next generation.

When you think about Southern food, it has a style and taste all its own. Then when you mix it with Mountain dishes, you have the most amazing result. The mix is like a party of flavor. In this book, I have tried to capture a collection of that amazing flavor, in a mix of baking recipes from my life on the mountain.

I was born Native American (Cherokee). Mix that with the variety of people who influenced the food on the mountain, from German, to French, to Italian and Polish. There were so many styles blended into our community, and that, I think made the foods we ate so amazing.

In this book, I have traveled back to a time when life was a little less complicated, when we all came together to enjoy a meal, as family and friends. I think that is why I choose to create food, to bring back a time when life was all about, family, friends and food.

In this baking collection, I include recipes for cakes, cookies, baked breads, cobblers and baked food dishes. Along the way, I even through in a few non baking dishes that I think you might enjoy. I hope you enjoy!

Native American Cooking An Indian Cookbook with Legends, and Folklore presents a rich history of the native American Indians through food and stories of their past. Containing more than 320 pages in 6x9 format, this book is packed with recipes, a large collection of native inspired art and entertaining stories about life, beliefs, hunting, and of course food.

Native Americans were not only experts at hunting wild game, but they also were excellent farmers. Their foods have always been creative, different and flavorful. They were known to cultivate crops in high, arid desert regions that required elaborate irrigation systems. Wild plants were also used abundantly to supplement the diet. Nothing was wasted, even the roots were often ground into powders to be used breads and other foods.

Included in this book is a large collection of recipes that have been chosen from many tribes located throughout the United States and Canada. Also included are a collection of stories both related to food, which offer life lessons and tell us of a past that has been somewhat forgotten. Some recipes are tradition while others have been redeveloped over the years to include new ways of cooking and include new spices and ingredients. The recipes in this collection have been chosen in a way to stay true to the Native experience.

Before the time of books, computers, tablets and recording devices, the history of many cultures was passed down, from person to person, by word of mouth. The rich histories of so many people were told in songs, chants, poems and stories. This was the way of Native American tribes. Each in its own way enriching their stories with their own experiences. By reliving these stories and songs, we have the opportunity to bring life back to the ancient spirits that created them. We have a chance to walk with the spirits of the past.

Being there were so many different tribes with countless beliefs and customs, the only way to understand their ways is through understanding their stories. In this book I have endeavored to show a wide landscape of different tribes and hopefully present a true look at their beliefs. With this book you will understand the Native American people a little better and understand where they have come from and what they can offer the world. By exploring these stories offered you will get a glimpse into an often forgotten past. These stories are given to you, to carry forward for younger generations to explore and learn.

The legend of the Native American Medicine Man goes back for thousands of years. Many of the Native Americans turned to the Medicine Man for the knowledge of mixing herbs, roots and other natural plants that helped to heal various medical conditions. But remedies were not the only part of the healing process. Healing practices varied from tribe to tribe. Many involved ceremonies, and rituals that healed the spirit and mind as well as the body. The end goals was to find a complete harmony within themselves, their creator, the environment and the people around them. Only when harmony was in place, could good health resume.

Herbs played a large process in the healing process. The remedies made from natural herbs and plants gathered from the local environment resulted in a variety of cures. These herbs and plants were considered sacred. As was the way of the Native American Indians, these practices were handed down from generation to generation by word of mouth. They were never documented in writing. Many tribes had no written language, except for the Cherokee. They in later years documented some of their practices for their preservation and history. Sadly the knowledge of some of those tribes who had no written language has been lost over the years. When no one was left to pass down their customs, the heritage of those tribes disappeared. When the early Europeans arrived in North America, they were surprised to see that the Indians used herbs to heal medical situations that in some cases they had thought to be terminal.

Sadly for the Indians, they had no cures for the diseases that the Europeans brought with them. White man's diseases, such as measles and small pox, wiped out thousands of the natives over the next few centuries. Not only were these Native Americans lost, but in many cases the knowledge of history and medicine went with them.

Today many modern medicines are based on plants and herbs that were used by the Indians. Many of the remaining tribes continue to guard the knowledge of their medicine people and the subject will not be discussed with non-Native Americans. Many believe that sharing of the healing knowledge will weaken the spiritual power of the medicine. In this book you will learn of the medicine man, medicine wheels, herbal treatments, songs for healing and the ways of Body, Mind and Spirit. You will learn to channel the power of the universe and use it to be in better health and achieve life goals. You will learn the ways of Native Americans and a forgotten path to inner harmony.

The stories in the collection tell of many different tribes and their experiences and the outcome of walking with these beings. From experiences with aliens, to the dead rising in spirit form, this book will cover a wide range of stories of the paranormal.

Native Americans used games, myths, dance, and impersonation to teach the children of their history and ways of life. They did not write down or record their history, so we have to find out about their history in other ways. Many oral histories were lost when European explorers and settlers came to the Americas. With them, they brought disease. The People became ill with smallpox and other illnesses. Many died. Much was lost.

Through storytelling, the rich history of the Native American tribes is alive and well today. It has been shared and preserved and still pays tribute to fallen heroes of the past. It is through these glimpses into the past, and these stories much like the ones that are contained in this book, that you can see what a proud heritage they possess and how in tune with the Earth Native Americans really are.

In this book you will find a collection of some of the best stories which are suitable for children of young ages and adults as well. These stories are meant to teach, inform and entertain.
