For some entrepreneurs, cooking from home or out of a food truck makes up for lack of job opportunities and lack of infrastructure in Native communities. At the same time these determined entrepreneurs provide traditional and contemporary Native foods for everyday dinners, celebrations and special events. And for some, it’s a gateway to a lucrative career.
