Chef Sean Sherman is the owner of the Indigenous restaurant Owamni and the executive director of the nonprofit North American Traditional Indigenous Food Systems (NATIFS). We had the privilege of sitting down to talk with him about the many ways that food can foster stronger Indigenous identity and health. Chef Sherman also tells us about the long, difficult process of gathering knowledge about Indigenous food and how he now tries to make that knowledge accessible to people. He also helps us see how food sovereignty relates to larger issues of colonization and what he terms "eliminationism."
