Fermented fish eggs and sheep’s head are considered delicacies to some tribes. But since burgers and pizza made their way to Native communities, our palates changed and we don’t eat them as often. The more traditional Native food can be hard to find and even hard to stomach for some of us. But they reflect the diversity of our tribal cultures and still occasionally make it to our plates. In this program, we celebrate unique delicacies and the efforts by some people to keep them vital. What’s considered a delicacy in your Native community?
