American Indians and Vegetarianism: More than one tribe has creation legends which describe people as vegetarian, living in a kind of Garden of Eden. A Cherokee legend describes humans, plants, and animals as having lived in the beginning in "equality and mutual helpfulness". The needs of all were met without killing one another. When man became aggressive and ate some of the animals, the animals invented diseases to keep human population in check. The plants remained friendly, however, and offered themselves not only as food to man, but also as medicine, to combat the new diseases. Edited 2 time(s).

Date: April 19, 2020 05:51AM Yes I have told you this before. Some tribes were heavy into agriculture
[www.sciencedirect.com] It is estimated that about 60% of the current world food supply originated in North America. When Europeans arrived, the Native Americans had already developed new varieties of corn, beans, and squashes and had an abundant supply of nutritious food. The foods of the Native Americans are widely consumed and their culinary skills still enrich the diets of nearly all people of the world today. And yes, Natives revere the Great Spirit, the creator, whose name is not supposed to be spoken out loud. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
