Discussion on answer by Avery: Did Elizabeth Warren plagiarize recipes and publish a book called "Pow Wow Chow"?

This might be a good point to call back to this answer on Politics, to reiterate that there are lots of people, particularly in Oklahoma, with some native American affiliation or heritage, who aren't officially on any tribal rolls. (You're reading the words of one of them.) Many of these people look very "white" (as do many people on the rolls). Tribal rolls were generally drawn up over 100 years ago, and tribes are extremely reluctant to expand them.

Which is where I go back 4 comments and repeat what was said there: "I don't believe this was meant to be pre-contact cuisine only." The Cherokee did not die out in 1492, and their culture was not at that time cast in amber. A pre-contact recipe book would be an interesting effort, I agree, but you can be sure it would be heavily advertised as such (and would probably require heavy input from historians and archeologists, producing still nothing more than a educated guesses, not useful modern recipes).
