"It's Thanksgiving week, which translates differently for everyone: Some will be stoked for the time off work, others dreading the family dynamics, and a whole lot of us angry about the holiday's connection to colonial violence and white supremacy. This week, you'll find ways to lean into all of those Big Feelings: Ogala Lakota Sioux chef will share Indigenous recipes at Powell's Books, you can distract your parents with historical"
"Sherman is at the forefront of this movement, sharing cultural knowledge through his nonprofit the Indigenous Food Lab and his restaurant Owamni. In his second book, Turtle Island: Food and Traditions of the Indigenous Peoples of North America, Sherman fills pages with rich narrative histories and over 100 "ancestral and modern recipes"-sweet potato soup with dried venison and chile oil, sweet corn pudding with woodland berry sauce, and wild rice-crusted walleye cakes among them."
Thanksgiving week brings mixed emotions, from excitement and family dread to anger about the holiday's ties to colonial violence and white supremacy. Events offer multiple ways to engage those feelings, including Indigenous recipe and food-tradition programming, historical concert-poster displays, boozy holiday drinks, and a benefit screening supporting Gaza relief. November is Native American Heritage Month, and Ogala Lakota Sioux chef Sean Sherman highlights holistic, sustainable Indigenous foodways through the Indigenous Food Lab and his restaurant Owamni. Sherman’s book Turtle Island contains narrative histories and more than 100 ancestral and modern recipes, with a book event at Powell's City of Books.
