PUMPKIN SOUP WITH CHICKEN: A TRADITIONAL
MEAL OF THE KIKAPU
My Kikapu sister brings big sized squash
from Mexico and with the help of someone, peels and cleans the skin and dries
it the way it has been done for generations of the Kikapu.
Tonight she prepared Chicken Soup with Squash and
Celery, Baby Carrots, Onion, Tomato with Rice. It was indeed delicious.
When
you are eating traditional meals, the words of my teacher from Meskwaki tribe
ring in my ears: It is the food that
made us sick. A group of ancient people who survived on wholly organic food for
generations were exposed and in many cases forced to eat fabricated excess food
of the white Americans. Now we know that the flora of the intestines of these
people rebelled against the garbage that came their way..Causing a myriad of
illnesses..
So I
particularly cherished the food, traditional to begin with, prepared with
sisterly love by a Kikapu, shared meal with friends who are close to my heart…
