What a great article if not for only the context of what Native populations of the American northeast would eat! Boiled horse hoof is making me laugh because it sounds horrendous, but hey don’t know til you try. I also got a kick out of the woman saying something like “first week captive I couldn’t eat, second week I ate a little, third week everything tasted amazing”. Of course the Native population knew how to eat well and had an incredibly diverse food system! Even Native people in comparatively extreme (elevation/desert etc) environments like modern Mexico City or the American southwest (and beyond) thrived.
