In this episode, I sit down with Linda and Luke Black Elk to explore the deep-rooted food traditions of the Lakota people.
We discuss how indigenous foods—like bison, corn, and the Three Sisters planting system—have influenced global cuisine, and the ongoing efforts to reclaim food sovereignty.
Linda and Luke share powerful stories about resilience, land access, and the cultural significance of traditional dishes like Bapa soup and wasna (pemmican).
This conversation sheds light on the history, science, and spirit behind indigenous foodways—an essential part of North America’s culinary heritage.
🎧 Tune in now to learn how food connects the past, present, and future of the Lakota people!
