Hungry Johnny"I like to eat, eat, eat," choruses young Johnny as he watches Grandma at work in the kitchen. Wild rice, fried potatoes, fruit salad, frosted sweet rolls what a feast Johnny can hardly contain his excitement. In no time, he'll be digging in with everyone else, filling his belly with all this good food. But wait. First there is the long drive to the community center. And then an even longer Ojibwe prayer. And then well, young boys know to follow the

"I like to eat, eat, eat," choruses young Johnny as he watches Grandma at work in the kitchen. Wild rice, fried potatoes, fruit salad, frosted sweet rolls--what a feast Johnny can hardly contain his excitement. In no time, he'll be digging in with everyone else, filling his belly with all this good food.

But wait. First there is the long drive to the community center. And then an even longer Ojibwe prayer. And then--well, young boys know to follow the rules: elders eat first, no matter how hungry the youngsters are. Johnny lingers with Grandma, worried that the tasty treats won't last. Seats at the tables fill and refill; platters are emptied and then replaced. Will it ever be their turn? And will there be enough?

As Johnny watches anxiously, Grandma gently teaches. By the time her friend Katherine arrives late to the gathering, Johnny knows just what to do, hunger pangs or no. He understands, just as Grandma does, that gratitude, patience, and respect are rewarded by a place at the table--and plenty to eat, eat, eat.

Writer and beadwork artist Cheryl Kay Minnema is a member of the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe. Artist Wesley Ballinger, also a member of the Mille Lacs Band, works for the Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission.

Yes yes yes! Low calorie w/ no garbage ingredients
Size: 1 lbs
I am super picky when it comes to dog treats. Do my research and this treat has proven to be a great find for my pup. The minimal ingredient list is fantastic and there is no crap that shouldn’t be there. They are smaller pieces but look fresh and my dog cannot get enough! They are low calorie and great alternatives to other treats sold with fillers and chemicals that harm our fur babies! Highly recommend these. My dog eats them with vigor! Healthy snacks!

Great one ingredient treats
Size: 1 lbs
I love that these are one ingredient treats. The quality is great, my dogs love the taste, and their appearance looks great without a bunch of additives. The texture is nice and the ridges in the cuts do help with cleaning my dogs teeth a bit. They are fairly expensive for what they are. These are great if you don’t have the time to make your own.

Only one ingredient
Size: 1-Pack (0.5 lbs)
I really like that. The product had only one ingredient which was sweet potatoes. They were well packaged in a reclosable bag. However, my dogs (a Morkie and a Malti-tzu) had no interest in them and would not even try it. I passed it on to someone else to try for their Shiba Inu.
