Sean Sherman, the award-winning founder of North American Traditional Indigenous Food Systems (NĀTIFS), gave a riveting presentation about the economic and health crises affecting Native communities who have been deprived of access to education about establishing more sustainable Native foodways for themselves and their communities. He shared his vision for creating a new North American food system that generates wealth and improves diets in Native communities through food-related enterprises.
As part of his talk, he reviewed the history of Indigenous peoples in America using maps and timelines to reference the myriad and chronic challenges to tribal autonomy through the centuries. His message was sobering yet hopeful as he encouraged the audience to reimagine a new path to addressing past injustices through educating and training youth in entrepreneurship, establishing satellite Indigenous eateries and expanding regional access to traditional resources.
