What did the Hidatsa tribe eat?

Answer 1

The Lakota Indians would mainly eat meat that they would hunt and kill themselves such as deer, elk, buffalo, and even squirrels. They would eat fruit and berries as well as grow their own crop.

Answer 2

Food was over 90% meat from deer, antelope and bison (buffalo) prepared in many different ways - including dried for winter storage.

The Lakota term wasna ("anything, ground up") is today often called pemmican; it comprised dried meat, berries and fat or bone marrow, ground up with a pounding stone. This combination is considered very healthy by analysts today.

Other foods were gathered from the wild since no farming was done until the reservation era: berries such as chokecherries, service berries, buffalo berries, strawberries, raspberries, roots such as wild carrot, wild plums, wild turnip, wild potatoes, psin (wild onions) and so on.

A favourite meal was soup called wohanpi, made with buffalo meat, wild turnips and blo (tiny wild potatoes).
