Similar attention is lavished on the tallest of the Three Sisters: mandamin, or corn. The bounty of the region s lakes and streamswalleye, whitefish, and moreinspire flavorful combinations and fierce protection of resources. Health concerns have encouraged Ojibwe, Dakota, and Lakota cooks to return to, and revise, recipes for bison, venison, and wild game. Sections on vegetables and beans, herbs and tea, and maple and berries offer insight from a broad representation of regional tribes, including HoChunk, Menominee, Potawatomi, and Mandan gardeners and harvesters.The innovative recipes collected herefrom Maple Baked Cranberry Beans to Three Sisters Salsa, from Manoomin Lasagna to Black and Blue Bison Stewwill inspire home cooks not only to make better use of the foods all around them but also to honor the storied heritage they represent.
