Explore Indigenous cuisine and mindful eating practices in this 15-minute video featuring Sioux chef Sean Sherman and ethnobotanist Linda Black Elk.

Learn about traditional foraging techniques, gain insights into accessing Indigenous ingredients, and understand how food serves as a powerful connection to ancestral heritage. Discover Sherman's approach to creating dishes that honor Native American culinary traditions while building sustainable food systems that uplift Indigenous communities. Gain perspective on how conscious food choices can reflect cultural values and environmental stewardship through conversations with experts who are revitalizing traditional foodways and educating others about the rich diversity of Indigenous ingredients and cooking methods.
