The (R)Evolution of Indigenous Foods | Sean Sherman | TEDxSiouxFalls

Chef Sean Sherman, Oglala Lakota from the Pine Ridge reservation, is the founder of The Sioux Chef. Through his research and culinary experience of thirty years he has uncovered and mapped out the foundations of the indigenous food systems and where its revitalization belongs in the future.

A two time James Beard award winner, Chef Sean, has become renowned nationally and internationally in the culinary movement of indigenous foods. With an ever growing team of decolonized-minded peers, he is leading a movement to completely redefine North American cuisine through the understanding and utilization of indigenous food knowledge. This talk gives the case for an evolution of Native American Foods, taking important education of the past and applying them to the now.

This video speaks volumes, most high schools don't give the fact about Native Americans. Why hide your history America? Historical trauma affected the Navajo's by the Long Walk, hiding from the US Army and when they were found they were forced to walk 450 miles. Young children, women, and elders were killed for not keeping up with the group. Sometimes I think this Western world is not meant for me. But here I am studying to become an Optometrist for my reservation, hope whoever read this has a great day. :)

Thank you! I love this! I am a Canadian from BC who has eaten food from all over the world, but nothing that is authentic to the place that I live. I really hope that there is a enormous return of these cultures in my lifetime.

This is what true patriotic education is. De-colonize the curriculum. This HAS to be taught in schools. I'm from South Dakota, and the history we learn falls far short of this rich, deep, and authentic information.

Im glad someone said this, because people do not realize that if we were able to recreate old recipes we can taste history, as well as create new recipes for the future!
