The latest episode of the You Can’t Eat Money podcast is with Chef Sean Sherman, the co-founder and co-owner of Owamni and co-founder of NATIFS, including the Indigenous Food Lab.

Chef Sean was recently in the headlines when his restaurant Owamni in Minneapolis, Minnesota, was awarded Best New Restaurant from the James Beard Foundation for 2022. He is also the author of the best selling book The Sioux Chef and is involved in the BIPOC Foodways Alliance, which is working to end white supremacy through food.

In this episode we cover a variety of topics including…

Chef Sean’s time as a US Forest Service Surveyor in the northern Black Hills as a teenager

History of systemic violence in the U.S. to separate indigenous people from their land and culture, including their traditional foodways

What a decolonized North American cuisine looks like
