In Denver there is a restaurant called Tocabe that is modern Native cuisine.

My favorite Native foods to eat are wojape (berry stew), corn soup, and deer meat stew.

I see everyone talking about there being no clean drinking water for Flint, which is truly fucked up. (Incoming Kanye) But, many reservations I have visited and that are close to my own have not had clean drinking water for several decades.

On my own reservation everyone either pays to have an expensive water filtration system put in, or uses the big blue jugs of water because drinking tap water will literally give you cancer and kill you. When you shower, it smells of sulfur and the soap doesn't sud up. I have also seen it turn peoples hair a light shade of red.

I prefer being called by my tribal affiliation but if not, Indian.

No matter which group the term is applied to, yours or mine, it was given to us by the white man and not what our people knew each other as until European contact.

That we receive free healthcare, college, monthly checks, and are exempt from paying taxes.

I mean no disrespect but I cannot share this information with you, sorry.

But my favorite tradition that is publicly known about are powwows!
