Anyone who grew up enjoying the fine traditional foods found in the camps at the Creek ceremonial grounds knows what delicious meals our elder hompetv-haya can whip up over a camp fire! Hompvksci! Nothing can fortify one for a long Saturday night of stomp dance like some of the old Creek favorites. Our traditional foods reach far back in time to our way of life and relationship with the land long before Columbus.
The Indian people on arriving in the land that we would call home for countless generations adapted to the many available food sources and soon our ancestors had developed new foods. Estimates say that about 60% of the current world food supply came from North American roots. These numbers indicate what a significant contribution our people have made.
