Creating an Yaocomaco Menu for a DayDuring their day, Ho Nee Qua Tow and Opencanchenko prepared and ate many types of foods. We eat some of the same foods today - like fresh berries and corn. Some of the foods they ate are not usually found in our diet - like bear meat. Before you create a Yaocomaco Menu for a Day, you need to compare the foods in Item #1 on your worksheet (what you ate yesterday) with the foods in Items #3 on your worksheet (what the Yaocomaco you followed ate during the day). Now complete Item #7 on your Worksheet. Make a graphic organizer that shows:
Once you've done that, plan a Yaocomaco menu for an entire day - breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Include only those foods that a Yaocomaco Indian from Maryland in the 1600s would recognize. Pretend that Ho Nee Qua Tow or Opencanchenko, and their families, are going to spend the day with you. What would you serve that would make them feel comfortable and at home in your home?
