## Speakers

- **Sean Sherman** — Celebrity and Award-winning Chef, author and activist

Join James Beard Award-winning chef Sean Sherman for an immersive exploration of the diverse Indigenous food systems spanning North America—from the peaks of the Arctic to the vibrant landscapes of Mexico. In Turtle Island, Sherman and co-authors Kate Nelson and Kristin Donnelly celebrate the beauty and diversity of Indigenous cultures while naming what’s lost when communities are cut off from their foodways. Discover how the act of reclaiming traditional ingredients serves as a powerful tool for cultural sovereignty and health. Whether you are a culinary enthusiast or a history buff, come learn how "decolonizing the plate" offers a sustainable path forward for our global food future. 

This reading is part of a larger movement to rebuild Indigenous food systems and bring culturally rooted, healthy foods back to Indigenous communities through imagination, creativity, and preservation of culture.
