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. :)

[@jeffbriggs1987]

if they gave facts theyd have to talk about rampant cannibalism and the fact that natives practiced slavery. would u be ok with that?

[@akemap4]

What happened to the natives americans is what happened to other peoples around the world. The greeks in turkey and the levant; the germanic tribes when the slavs came from the east; the berbers of North Africa when the arabs came. Their civilization were destroyed like of the native americans. Sadly the world has limited resources and only the stronger people survive. But luckily today things are different, there are much resources because of technology.

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.

[@dnmurphy48]

Native cuisine could only feed a few hundred thousands people a few millions maybe. Much of the native cuisine and culture were rooted in buffalo - now mostly gone, although not extinct. I am sure it's interesting and might be enjoyable but it wont replace modern food, even if it can be recreated. It would have been a diet of necessity anyway.

[@victorl3969]

@@dnmurphy48 Not to be rude, but there are countless other foods in Native American cuisine than Buffalo. You got various Corn, squash, beans, berries, edible seeds, mushrooms, seaweeds, nuts, greens, edible flowers, and North American grapes. As far as Central and South America, you got Pumpkin, avocados, papaya, pineapple, sweet potato, tomato, dragon fruit, dark chocolate, peppers, potato, and strawberry.

Reservation seems like such a dehumanizing word. Like the USA decided they were an endangered species that needed a wildlife reserve. I guess that's more a reflection of how the word "reserve" has been shaped by my culture... my upbringing....

Me wanting to leave my family and be a nomad. "I gotta live off the land. There's gotta be a way. The First Nations did it. Let's start with identifying plants." Now I'm learning a bit of history. I realized that humans need to live with nature and not against nature. Were all so cought up living in modern society, distracted and playing this game. I'd like to believe that there can be a life that doesn't tie you to this system of having to trade your time for money and having to buy expensive food and a place to live. I want to believe I can live off the land and enhance the land by growing more plants. I know this is healthier, less destructive, simpler, gratifying, and you live in harmony with nature instead of in complete disharmony.

Very educational, but not very positive or solutions oriented, in my opinion. The solutions thinking here seems directional, at best, and it honestly felt most descriptive in the very negative aspects, not in what specific, positive elements there are in the propagation of indigenous foods. If there's going to be such a heavy focus on the terrible aspects of the history --to which, where didn't seem to be many root-cause-and-effect takeaways-- there should probably be more of a structured approach to solutions. Otherwise, just kinda sounds like too much complaining.

[@SpencerDwight]

It’s not all about being positive, it’s about the reality, and in this case it is a very negative history, and this is a stunningly positive and empowered view given said history. Please reflect on this and show some respect moving forward, through making a personal change and educating others. Thanks.

[@GustheOttsel]

You should look up some of Sean’s actual work and you’ll see what he’s talking about at his Indigenous Food Lab, as well as page through his writings. But the first step, like he mentioned is to understand colonialism, it’s effects on this continent and how people are working to subvert the effects of it. Sean being one of them.
