    We have a few here in my city… Maybe you just gotta actually go look around a bit more…?

      It’s not the same everywhere. Chicago has one of the biggest restaurant scenes in the country and there aren’t any Native American restaurants. There are a few Mexican restaurants that do one or two traditional dishes, but that’s it.

          You probably have more native folks than some regions. Columbus Ohio is a significant enough culinary city, but not only are there no reservations here in ohio, of the five states we border only Michigan has any. Illinois also doesn’t have any. Here’s a map and you can see the reason for the disparities clearly on it. Any Native American cuisine in this region would be a personal project of someone’s.
