What Was For Dessert Among Indigenous Peoples in North America?

by Zeuvembie

I've read about sxusem and akutaq which are sometimes labeled under "ice cream" (even though there's no dairy in the preparation), and sweetened by berries or roots. Were these actually considered desserts, or is that an idea impressed by Europeans encountering the dishes?
