Mike said: oh,no,you are wrong.I have found as below for this question(How come I never see any restaurants serving native American cuisine?),it will help you,my kids.

We got Mexican, Thai, Chinese, Mediterranean,...

Answer:
Pardon the stupidity amongst your answerers.

The National Museum of the American Indian in DC has the Mitsitam Cafe. It features Native foods found throughout the Western Hemisphere including the Northern Woodlands, South America, Northwest Coast, Meso America and Great Plains.

Each food station depicts regional lifeways related to cooking techniques, ingredients and flavors found in both traditional and contemporary dishes.

Sadly, the museums in NY and MD do not offer the cafe experience...

There's also Spirits Native American Restaurant in Asheville, NC http://spiritsnativeamericanrestaurant.c... and interestingly there is no dog on the menu (some folks are just crass here) but buffalo, quail, trout, pheasant, rice, beans, squash, etc...

There's also Fry Bread House in Phoenix, AZ... Native American Cuisine Catering in Hartford CT... Coyote Cafe in Santa Fe, NM....

Remember too that a lot of dishes that we claim for other regions, like clambakes and "Boston Baked Beans" were actually traditional Native American dishes adapted by settlers and claimed as their own as generations passed.

South City Kitchen in Atlanta, GA and Georgia Brown's in DC use a lot of Native American ingredients as do many other regional restaurants.
who wants to eat dog,and stone soup
wouldn't it be alot of corn, acorns and nuts...maybe some rabbit or deer meat? actually might be yummy huh?
and what would they serve - elk roasted over an open fire with unleavened cornbread
THERE IS NO SUCH THING
I think like most people, we are not fully cognizant of what the native American ate and how they ate it
Because most people dont want to eat roast ground squirrel, or baked jack rabbit.
uh.. maybe because they are the smallest ethnic groupn in the U.S., and most are "confined" reservations who have had their heritage just about killed. Thanks to the good old USA!
That's a great question! I've never really thought about what Native American cuisine is -- but I'd be willing to try it! God bless!
I'm not sure why. Opening one up would change it, and fill your pockets.
maybe cause they don't want to
Let's see, what would the menu say:

Roast Dog with corn
Boiled Dog with squash
Fried Dog with pemican
Buffalo Hump Stew

All entrees' served with firewater and peote
Go for it.
Unlike most countries (China, France, Italy, Middle Eastern Countries) the U.S. is made up of people of all religions, nations and creeds. American cuisine is anything we like.
Guess the closest I have seen would be southern soul food..sometimes they have a few really nice places that serve wild game..but you are right..not really ANY places with native food
Maybe the Tigua Indian Village in El Paso Texas??
the native people i know are not interested in being business men. they prefer to cook and enjoy their type of cuisine among their own families and friends and have little interest in making it available commercially. the best way to enjoy this kind of food would be to get to know some of these people personally. they love to share and invite friends in to eat. go to a Pow-Wow or a native celebration of some kind. AND----COME ON ALL YOU NARROW-MINDED BIGGOTS---------THEY DONT EAT DOGS! but even if they did it would probably be tastier than Mcdonalds which is probably your ideas of "cuisine"
There are many ethnic cuisines that just do not have wide appeal and so there is no demand.

Is there really a "modern" version of Native American cuisine? Without being insulting, I don't get the impression there is much to it appeal-wise although I suppose it was very efficient and adaptable due to their lifestyle.
For all the same reasons you cannot find, nor is there such a thing, as a fine English restaurant.
Well, when you think about it, many Native Americans ate the things that grew native to this continent....corn. beans, squashes and other goards, chile peppers, cactus, and a variety of meats that were harvested from game animals or, in later years, stolen from ranchers. Since it is illegal in most places to sell wild game, most restaurants have no choice except to offer domesticated livestock as meat items on their menu. With this in mind, I would suggest that corn tortillas with beans and meat filled tacos with read chile would probably be a pretty close rendition of what they were eating. Throw in a few nopalitos and some squash and there you have it! I believe I've eaten in Native American restaurants every time I've eaten an authentic Mexican meal. Perhaps not exactly the same, but the ingredients are surely almost identical.
i think its because the native americans have so many different dishes and......there are so many different tribes with different recipes that may not want to share! just my opinion!

SHAME ON YOU PEOPLE FOR BEING SO UNEDUCATED! NATIVES ARE HUMAN BEINGS JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IN THIS WORLD! SORRY BUT I TAKE OFFENSE TO SOME OF THESE ANSWERS....I HATE WHEN PEOPLE HAVE TO GET ON HERE AND SPEAK DOWN ABOUT ANYONE'S NATIONALITY. JUST PLAIN DUMB, STUPID AND SHOWS YOUR IGNORANCE!
I think the term Native American cuisine is too broad since a lot of the Native Americans ate what was local... and the USA has a very diverse geography.

I was in Seattle and the local Indian village has a Salmon bake, see link below.

Also, isn't Thanksgiving dinner based upon what was fed to the Pilgrims?

We've been eating Native American cuisine this whole time and didn't even realize it.
Wow, a lot of the people who answered your question are very naive... native americans have an excellent cuisine, you just don't know what you're missing, blood sausage and mutton aren't my favorites buy everything else is so yummy!

You may not have any restaurants is your area but we have a few here in the southwest... Arizona and New Mexico... it's best to look for places that are along the border of the reservation.
Native american cuisine has been assimilated into mainstream American recipes. (As skewed as the traditional original Thanksgiving stories are, where on earth do you you think people who had been at sea for months on end get food. There certainly wern't any turkeys at sea and at that time there were none in England either.)
If you visit Indian Reservations, you can get Native American cuisine. If you visit the Smithsonian's Museum of the Native American in DC, you can eat delicious ethnic dishes from the different regions and tribes.

The cuisine is available, you just have to know where to go.
" I believe I've eaten in Native American restaurants every time I've eaten an authentic Mexican meal."

This statement shows a lack of knowledge in regards to both the American Indian and Aztec/Incan Indian cultures.

There is a vast difference in the topographical conditions that these cultures lived in.

So, you're authentic Mexican meal is more than a quick jump away from what the Sioux, Seminoles, and other American Indians eat.
you may have to go on an indian reservation
