E-Tanka Cafe to open on Pine Ridge Reservation
Friday, May 15, 2009


Native American Natural Foods, the makers of the Tanka Bar, and a nonprofit named Thunder Valley are opening a cafe on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. The E-Tanka Cafe will promote healthy foods and entrepreneurship. About 15 teens will be hired to staff the business. "Nobody is going to do it for us," Thunder Valley Director Nick Tilson told KOTA-TV. " If we are going to change our reservation we are going to have to do it ourselves." The cafe will offer a low-fat menu that includes the Tanka Dog, a new, all-buffalo hot dog product from Native American Natural Foods.
