Tukya (Baked Prairie Dog)
(Hopi)

1 fresh-killed prairie dog per person
pepper
salt
seasonings (traditional seasonings are nankopsie, tuitsma, or herbal seasonings)


Kill prairie dogs; immediately singe the fur completely to get rid of fleas.

Scrape the carcass to remove any fur or ash, and wash it well with clear water.

Dress as you would a rabbit and leave whole.

Stuff body cavity with salt, pepper, and seasonings.

Bake in a 350 degree oven for three hours, or until tender.
