Food is a living expression of culture, memory, and identity. Across Native American nations, it remains a powerful act of resistance and reclamation. During Native American Heritage Month, we honor the Indigenous knowledge keepers who are revitalizing traditional foodways, restoring relationships to land, and challenging colonial erasure through the dishes they create. Indigenous chefs are not only preserving ancestral ingredients and cooking techniques, but also strengthening food sovereignty, community health, and cultural pride.
