Cooking Up Native Traditions Indigenous Heritage Minneapolis, Minnesota (Achieve3000, January 17, 2020). Canned beans. Boxed rice. Powdered milk. Jugs of vegetable oil. When he was growing up on a reservation in South Dakota, Sean Sherman's family cupboards were packed with these groceries. The foods were given to them by the U.S. government. Later in life, Sherman, whose family are Oglala Lakota Sioux, raised this question: Why didn't his family have foods that came from their culture? And Sherman would have even more questions: Why weren't Native American recipes being more widely used? Where could those recipes even be found? And why don't more restaurants serve Native American foods? Sherman was determined to find answers. He met with the oldest members of the community. He spoke with Native American chefs. And he chatted with people who knew Native American history. He learned how his ancestors grew, hunted, and prepared their food. Then Sherman had an idea. He started his own catering business. He called it The Sioux Chef. He also started a group called NATIFS (North American Traditional Indigenous Food Systems). His big plan? To bring back traditional Native American food to today's world. But why was it lost in the first place? Before Europeans arrived, Native Americans used traditional practices to grow and hunt many different kinds of food. But the arrival of Europeans changed things. Many traditional food sources, such as bison, were nearly destroyed. Making matters worse: During the late 1800s, the U.S. government sent Native American children to boarding schools. They were taught cooking and farming methods. But they never learned how to do things the way their ancestors did. That's why Sherman is bringing back Native American food traditions. His recipes avoid ingredients that were introduced by Europeans, such as beef and wheat. They use local plants and other natural ingredients. These include elk, quail, mushrooms, and wild rice. For Sherman, going back to his roots is not just about connecting with his culture. Unhealthy eating is believed to have caused illnesses such as diabetes in Native American communities. Sherman wants to address this problem with the help of Native foods. They're better for people's health. They aren't loaded with salt, sugar, and bad fats. So far, not many chefs serve traditional Native American ingredients. But this might be changing. The foods fit perfectly into the growing farm-to-table idea, which is all about using local fresh ingredients. But Native American food is not just a passing idea, says Sherman. It's a way of life.There is a large rectangle with a question mark in it. Above the rectangle, it says Main Idea of the Article.

How did landscape, climate, and resources influence the development of Native American societies?Expansive trade networks tied together regions and carried valuable goods hundreds and even thousands of miles. Trade goods included food and raw materials, tools, ritual artifacts, and decorative goods. Trade enriched diets, enhanced economies, and allowed the powerful to set themselves apart with luxury items.In areas where Indians specialized in a particular economic activity, regional trade networks allowed them to share resources. Thus nomadic hunters of the southern plains, including the Navajos and Apaches, conducted annual trade fairs with Pueblo farmers, exchanging hides and meat for maize, pottery, and cotton blankets. Similar patterns of exchange occurred throughout the Great Plains, wherever hunters and farmers coexisted. In some parts of North America, a regional trade in war captives who were offered as slaves helped to sustain friendly relations among neighboring groups. One such network developed in the Upper Mississippi River basin, where Plains Indian captives were traded, or given as diplomatic gifts, to Ottawas and other Great Lakes and eastern woodlands peoples.Rare and valuable objects traveled longer distances. Great Lakes copper, Rocky Mountain mica, jasper from Pennsylvania, obsidian from New Mexico and Wyoming, and pipestone from the Midwest have all been found in archaeological sites hundreds of miles from their points of origin. Seashells — often shaped and polished into beads and other artifacts — were highly prized and widely distributed. Grizzly bear claws and eagle feathers were valuable, high-status objects. After European contact, Indian hunters often traveled long distances to trade for cloth, iron tools, and weapons. Historians debate the extent to which such long-distance connections helped to create deeper cultural ties. Powerful leaders controlled much of a community’s wealth and redistributed it to prove their generosity and strengthen their authority. In small, kin-based bands, the strongest hunters possessed the most food, and sharing it was essential. In chiefdoms, rulers filled the same role, often collecting the wealth of a community and then redistributing it to their followers. Powhatan, the powerful Chesapeake Bay chief, reportedly collected nine-tenths of the produce of the communities he oversaw — “skins, beads, copper, pearls, deer, turkeys, wild beasts, and corn” — and then gave much of it back to his subordinates. His generosity was considered a mark of good leadership. In the Pacific Northwest, the Chinook word potlatch refers to periodic festivals in which wealthy residents gave away belongings to friends, family, and followers

3. Necessary Origins of Food

The Great Plains tribes, including the Lakota and Cheyenne, were expert horse riders and depended heavily on buffalo for their sustenance and cultural practices. These elements formed the cornerstone of their traditional lifestyle. ______ the advent of Euro-American settlers and their practices dramatically altered this way of life, leading to significant cultural and ecological disruptions.26 Mark For ReviewWhich choice completes the text with the most logical transition?A) Nevertheless, B) Therefore, C) That is, D) Besides,

(Achieve3000, April 21, 2020). Can food teach us about history? Yes, it can! White eagle corn is part of the Cherokee Nation's past. But it's also part of its future. The corn is a Cherokee heirloom crop. These crops are keys to the tribe's culture. Cherokee leaders want to save these seeds. Not just now, but forever.That's why, on February 25, 2020, the Cherokee sent some seeds far away. They sent them to the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. The vault is on an island near Norway. It holds important seeds from around the world.Why do we need the vault? Plants could get sick. Wars could hurt the land. Crops could be wiped out. Then what? The vault has the seeds. They would be used to regrow the crops.The vault is deep inside a cold mountain. It holds millions of seeds. And there's room for more. The Cherokee Nation is the first Native American group to add its seeds.There are nine types of Cherokee seeds in the vault. They include beans, squash, and corn. The seeds are living links. They connect tribe members to their ancestors.The seeds are also part of the tribe's future. Cherokee youth can learn from the seeds. The seeds keep Cherokee history and culture alive.The Associated Press contributed to this story.TO-DONOTESVOCABULARYThe Cherokee Nation is preserving seeds in the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. Why is the tribe doing this and why it is important?
