What did the kickapoos eat?

Answer 1

According to Thomas Cooley (1937) who lived near them they like pork, turkey, and on special occasions eat puppy "There has been much argument about whether Indians, ate dogs or not. I can tell you about that, at least among the Kickapoos. I have seen Indians kill a fat pup by striking it over the head with a club, then cutting its throat. Then they cooked it , and the people would all gather from miles around." (see associated link for document below).

Native American diets were all the same, they were opportunistic diets; meaning they ate what was available. The quote above is late depression era; where many Americana's were said to have done the same - and while it could be considered a cultural taboo, other countries even today eat meat from sources that would upset you (dogs, horses, cats, etc.).

Back on point however: The Kickapoo were noted farmers who specialised in a type of corn and its products, they were also avid hunters of small game and fishermen (when a body of water was near).
