    Food in California Indian Culture
  

*by P***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2008*

If you are interested in how the Native Americans thrived this is an excelent book. Food is the heart of any culture and this is a wonderful look at what it was like before the intervention. I hope some of these food ways are still being practiced. There is so much to learn from their culture.
