Never been to a pow wow or other tribal gathering. I had a friend, when 
I was living is Californica, who happened to be Navajo. I visited his
parents' home with him once. And, y'know, they was "just folks" with a
lot of the same concerns/issues as anyone else. It was also the only 
time I've had dog served to me.

People who expect to be treated as "special" tend to be snobs or thunk
that they are "entitled" by money or position. I give them short shrift.
And remove myself from their orbit as quickly as possible.

This recipe is said to be of Filipino origoin .....

      Title: Stewed Dog (Wedding Style)
 Categories: Exotics, Stews, Fruits, Chilies
      Yield: 30 Servings
 
      3 kg Dog meat *
  1 1/2 c  Vinegar
     60    Peppercorns; crushed
      6 tb Salt
     12 cl Garlic; crushed
    1/2 c  Oil
      6 c  Onion; sliced
      3 c  Tomato sauce
     10 c  Boiling water
      6 c  Red bell pepper; in strips
      6    Bay leaves
      1 ts Hot pepper sauce
  1 1/2 c  Liver spread **
      1    Fresh pineapple; cut 1/2"
           - thick
 
  First, kill a medium sized dog, then burn off the fur over
  a hot fire.
  
  Carefully remove the skin while still warm and set aside
  for later (may be used in other recipes)
  
  Cut meat into 1" cubes. Marinade meat in mixture of
  vinegar, peppercorn, salt and garlic for 2 hours.
  
  Fry meat in oil using a large wok over an open fire,
  then add onions and chopped pineapple and saute until
  tender.
  
  Pour in tomato sauce and boiling water, add bell peper,
  bay leaf and hot chile sauce.
  
  Cover and simmer over warm coals until meat is tender.
  Blend in liver spread and cook for additional 5-7 mins.
  
  * You can substitute lamb for dog. The taste is similar,
  but not as pungent.
  
  ** smooth liver pate will do as well.
  
  Suggested Wine: San Miguel Beer
  
  Serving Ideas: Rice, naturally.
  
  NOTES: During my wedding reception, my brother-in-law
  suggested we add to the feast by having dog stew. Wanting
  to be part of the family, and having been subjected to
  all sorts of social tests already, I agreed. The result
  was... well.. a lot better than I expected. In fact, it
  was great!
  
  It was only later I found out that dog should *not* be
  served at weddings, as it may make the bride and groom
  flight like dogs during the honeymoon. But what the heck.
  It didn't seem to have that effect... at least not until
  a few years later. :-)
  
  For the faint of heart, you can always substitute lamb
  in place of next door's rover, but the meat will not be
  as sweet or as rich in flavor.
