once me and my mom were traveling to tri-cities in washington from potland

we were driviing up the columbia and somewhere in oregon we found a little patch of indian land that made picuris look like texas in size ccomparison......and it housed multiple tribes.....it was basically just a cluster of houses and a few trailers smack dab in the middle of nowhere along the columbia in a lush green forest

of course my mom being my mom had to stop and talk to people, she was was invited back to "longhouse ceremony" and all the nw tribes there at the spot shared the longhouse

as far as i know and gathered that it was more of a social ceremony than private, and involved frybread and salmon

a few years ago i went chasing a nisqually girl up in washington.......i was treated to frybread and salmon there too

them northwest natives get down a little different than we do in the southwest

Needs like button for posts,
I’ve never had frybread, but do love mutton stew. I’m intolerant of wheat grains.
I’m overdue for real piki tho.

I can't say much about Oregon,  but I have spent time on the Yakama Nation rez and they had longhouses similar to the first pic. The only one I actually remember going to was the Satus longhouse. I live in the Puget Sound area of Washington and a lot of tribes have built longhouses.  These are similar to some on Vancouver Island where they are called "Big Houses."

I had a coffee table book of photos from Kinsley brothers, probably paid less than a dollar for it.
In it, there was at least one photo of an original longhouse made of bark torn from the giant trees of the day. Some of my best nuggets of the past were found this way. For example, in the 1850’s a congress declaration that the Moqui Tribe (aka Fremont people, Hopi, Anastazi) were not Indians. I wish I still had that book.

my people make piki bread...(or paper bread).........we dip it in red chili caribe

i havent had it for years and i rarely make it down to NM anymore maybe just once or twice a year now

we do have some pueblo families here and we are all friends so when someone goes back home they bring back horno bread and and feast cookies and prune pies and chiquo de horno....all that good pueblo goodies and they share if they have enough
