In his best-selling book, "The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals," author Michael Pollan argues that America doesn't have a strong culinary tradition.

Christopher B. Martin Native cooking - Indian Country

Fall and this great harvest time make me proud to be Native American. We know what our traditions are and we understand our identity as caretakers of Mother Earth, and how the things we value the most are things money can't buy.

Integrity is alive and strong in Indian country and we can stand tall with dignity and face down any way of life that threatens this solid moral strength.

One strengt… Continue
