## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would this be considered real (true) pemmican? What's the shelf life?**
A: Having spent 7 years of frequent contact with the Lakota clan on Pine Ridge, SD, perhaps I can offer some close-to-accurate comments for you.  If my memory serves me correctly, the original pemmican was made by grinding buffalo meat with a species of tart, nutritious berries that grew in the Great Plains region.  These were called "buffalo berries" in English, because it was noted that bison could sustain themselves on this fruit during the cold months, when it dried out and clung to the bush.  For mass production, it would not be practical to locate and harvest enough of these in the wild to meet public demand.  However, the domestically-grown cranberry makes a perfect substitute, having a very high nutritious profile similar to buffalo berries.  I'm sure that Tanka bars taste a lot better than the original pemmican.  First of all, the bison meat is lightly smoked, which is far more flavorful that sun-dried bison--especially since the smoking process incorporates a lot of salt.  Also, there is added sugar to offset the tartness of cranberries.  Thirdly, there is oil added to make them moist and chewy.  (I'm not certain, but I do recall there was some fat incorporated into the original pemmican, as well.) Tanka Bars are designed to preserve your teeth, too, since they're moist, chewy and free from the occasional berry-pits that caused many Native old-timers to lose a tooth occasionally. The salt and the smoking process would give you a very respectable shelf life, (perhaps somewhat comparable to that of any other "jerky"-type meat), as long as the plastic packaging remains intact.  I've enjoyed them well over a year old (stashed in my prep pack)...You can find more info on their website -- I think you'd really enjoy checking it out...http://www.tankabar.com/cgi-bin/nanf/public/main.cvw

**Q: What is the carb content in the bars**
A: Total carbohydrates is 7 grams and 1 gram of fiber for net carbohydrates of 6.

**Q: How much sugar is in a bar?**
A: All the added sugar is from the processed cranberries.  Commercially available dried cranberries like what are used here are drenched in sugar to make them palatable.

**Q: Are these actually made with Buffalo or American Bison?**
A: It is bison. It is sorely mislabled. American buffalo is a common misnomer. The American bison is native to North and South America and Europe, while the buffalo species reside in Africa and Asia.
