About this listen

We sit down with Chef Sean Sherman, also known as The Sioux Chef whose work is transforming how we think about food, land, identity, and justice. Raised on Pine Ridge Reservation, Sean realized early in his culinary career that he could name a hundred European recipes, but barely any from his own Lakota heritage. That realization sparked a movement. We discuss:

  • Why food is a language that connects, heals, and resists
  • How Indigenous knowledge holds answers to climate, health, and equity crises
  • Reclaiming food systems through plant diversity, ancestral wisdom, and education
  • The balance of hope and resistance in a world of chaos
  • How to be a respectful ally in Indigenous food movements

Sean’s next cookbook Turtle Island launches this November. Explore his 170+ videos on foraging, plant medicine, Indigenous cooking, and decolonizing food systems at: thesiouxchef.com Follow Sean: @siouxchef
