Food Tank, in partnership with Barr Mansion and Driscoll's, recently hosted the All Things Food Summit at SXSW. This episode of “Food Talk with Dani Nierenberg” features two conversations from the event. First, hear from Chef Olivia Hernandez, Founder of HER Hospitality, and Paul Newnham, Executive Director of the SDG2 Advocacy Hub as they sit down with Dani to talk about the role that chefs play in driving food systems change. They discuss the power of chefs as connectors as well as the many expectations placed on them and the fair wages that are an essential piece of a sustainable food system. Then Dani speaks with A-dae Romero-Briones, Vice-President at the First Nations Development Institute and Principal at Manzanita Capital Collective. They discuss the important role that Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) play in food and agriculture systems, the disconnect between consumers and the foods they eat, and the diversity that builds resilience.

Can't stop, won't stop, #Deathblart The Blart quintet are back for a ninth year. Nothing will stop them from their annual watch and review of BP:MC2, not an industry-wide strike, not a lack of enthusiasm for the film. In this refreshingly straight-laced approach at the material, all five reviewers have remained (mainly) sober and checked in. This mentally sharp environment has allowed for a Griffin-Timbo mindmeld to explore the possible religious and philosophical ramifications of Paul fighting a bird in a fake garden setting to piano music. Travis is attempting to explain to his child that this movie IS a comedy. Guy is quick to defend the Toyota Yaris. And Justin has once again figured out a way to turn the watch into a joyful experience while watching shirtless in bed. Please enjoy, season greetings to one and all and do consider purchasing a shirt or poster this year because all the proceeds go to the First Nations Development Institute. https://mcelroymerch.com/collections/til-death-do-us-blart Current hosts: Justin, Travis and Griffin McElroy, Tim Batt and Guy Montgomery

Native Americans are these land's first scientists and innovators. In fact, more than fifty present-day medications used across the globe have been developed using traditional Native medicines. And Indigenous teachings continue to fuel innovative solutions to modern-day issues. From designing and building renewable energy infrastructure, to developing hybrid electric commercial aircraft--Native Americans today have left lasting marks on science and technology for the benefit of all.rnrnJust last October, NASA Astronaut Nicole Mann became the first Native American woman to go into space. Her historic flight on NASA's SpaceX Crew-5 mission has also reignited a conversation about Native women's role in STEM. Many tribes still maintain a matrilineal structure, where women hold the power and decision-making authority among their people, and are often heads of houses. Investing in Native women in STEM has the power to improve families and communities, yet Native women still face barriers with access to STEM careers.rnrnFounded in 1977, the American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) is a national nonprofit organization that aims to reverse this trend. Now in its 45th year, AISES supports 230 pre-college schools and 196 college and university chapters in the U.S. and Canada. To date, AISES has awarded nearly $12 million in academic scholarships, and counting.rnrnSarah EchoHawk, a citizen of the Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma, has led AISES as CEO since 2013. Prior to joining AISES, she served as the Executive Vice President of First Nations Development Institute, a national nonprofit organization with a focus on economic development for Indigenous people.

Tonight, on a very special episode of Academy H, the squad ventures out to the Kettle—Provence's best-known punk venue and the former home of Spectral—to have a word with Alistair Infernum of the magical superhero team the Mysterium.

Squad H might be ready to throw down with a supervillain or two, but they're always more ready to throw down with each other.

When it comes to Native American heritage, most Americans have woefully inadequate knowledge. They may have heard of Squanto or Sacajawea, but that is the extent of their understanding. A 2018 research project conducted by The First Nations Development Institute and Echo Hawk Consulting found that most Americans think there aren't many Native Americans left in the country, which just isn't true. There are close to 600 federally recognized tribes in the United States. November is National Native American Heritage Month so we want to introduce you to some Native authors to add to your TBR all year long including our guest today, who is a new voice in fiction. Our guest this week is Annette Saunooke Clapsaddle, a member of the Eastern Tribe of Cherokee Indians, who is deeply rooted in the Cherokee community in North Carolina. She has been a high school English and Cherokee Studies teacher for the past 10 years. But she is also a novelist whose debut historical fiction novel, Even As We Breathe, was published this past September by a new literary imprint called Fireside Industries, a collaboration between The Appalachian Writers Workshop and the University Press of Kentucky. Annette talks to us about the James Baldwin quote that inspired her to write about a clean bone which has significance in her writing practice as well as her novel, what things she learned from her editor, well-known Kentucky author Silas House, and how she wants to use her influence of being a Cherokee novelist to educate the wider public that Native Americans are something very different from what they see in old Westerns and popular culture. Books Mentioned in this Episode: 1- Even As We Breathe by Annette Saunooke Clapsaddle 2- Beverly Cleary books 3- Babysitters Club series 4- The Prettiest Star by Carter Sickels 5- F*ckface: And Other Stories by Leah Hampton 6- Going to Water by Annette Saunooke Clapsaddle 7- Myths of the Cherokee by James Mooney (and other books) 8- Crenshaw by Katherine Applegate 9- Crooked Hallelujah by Kelli Jo Ford 10- When the Light of the World Was Subdued, Our Songs Came Through: A Norton Anthology of Native Nations Poetry by Joy Harjo 11- Horsepower by Joy Priest 12- City of Saints and Thieves by Natalie C.

Meet A-dae Romero-Briones, she's a lawyer and food policy expert who works to preserve and support Native American food systems and projects through her role as the director of the Native Agriculture and Food Systems program for the First Nations Development Institute. She's also an executive producer of Gather, a film that documents the growing movement amongst Native Americans to reclaim their spiritual, political, and cultural identities through food sovereignty. Through her career and numerous degrees, A-dae's written extensively about food safety and the protection of tribal traditional foods. Our conversation with A-dae covers the importance of story in connecting with the land, our changing relationships with time and attention span, and how her grandparents' struggle with the federal government in Cochiti-Pueblo, New Mexico shaped her path.

Part of the Roots of Resilience in An Age of Crisis series co-presented with Real Food Media. https://realfoodmedia.org In this wide-ranging conversation, we’ll hear from UCSF Associate Professor of Medicine Dr. Rupa Marya along with A-dae Romero-Briones of the First Nations Development Institute discuss efforts around the country to take on the aftermath of centuries of government-sanctioned and led land dispossession and cultural decimation. Together with TNS Host and Author Anna Lappé, Rupa and A-dae will share strategies toward a vision to protect and uplift Native agro-ecological traditions, including efforts to rematriate thousands of acres of land across the country.

In this episode, I'm honored to welcome Trisha Moquino to the podcast to talk about her personal journey in education, the inspiration behind the founding of the Keres Children's Learning Center and the Indigenous Montessori Institute, and what actionable steps that educators, school districts, and teacher education programs need to take to center the cultural, historical, and lived experiences of Indigenous People with fidelity. To learn more about Trisha's work, you can visit her personal website at indigenouscheerleader.com or the Keres Children's Learning Center website at kclcmontessori.org. You can also follow Trisha on Instagram with the handles @indigenouseducators and @indigenouscheerleader. BIO: Trisha Moquino (Cochiti, Ohkay Owhingeh, Kewa) is the co-founder of Keres Children's Learning Center (KCLC), a Keres-immersion early childhood classroom using Montessori pedagogy that includes a Montessori dual-language Elementary classroom. The vision for a school supporting Keres language and cultural learning and academic development came largely from Moquino's master's thesis in Bilingual Education at the University of New Mexico. For the last 3 years, Moquino has been working with her KCLC colleagues and Montessori Partners to build the Indigenous Montessori Institute (IMI), a teacher training program that uses indigenous knowledge systems and Montessori philosophy to approach education reform. Before KCLC and IMI, Moquino taught in public, private, and BIE schools, but realized she was perpetuating an educational system that didn't work for many Indigenous children, propelling her to develop a different approach to education for her own and other Pueblo children. Moquino is a founding board member of Montessori for Social Justice and is a Luce Indigenous Knowledge Fellow with the First Nations Development Institute. She has a Montessori Elementary I certification from the Montessori Education Center of the Rockies and completed her Primary training with United Montessori Association. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/identitytalk4educators/support

When it comes to Native American heritage, most Americans have woefully inadequate knowledge. They may have heard of Squanto or Sacajawea, but that is the extent of their understanding. A 2018 research project conducted by The First Nations Development Institute and Echo Hawk Consulting found that most Americans think there aren't many Native Americans left in the country, which just isn't true. There are close to 600 federally recognized tribes in the United States. November is National Native American Heritage Month so we want to introduce you to some Native authors to add to your TBR all year long including our guest today, who is a new voice in fiction. Our guest this week is Annette Saunooke Clapsaddle, a member of the Eastern Tribe of Cherokee Indians, who is deeply rooted in the Cherokee community in North Carolina. She has been a high school English and Cherokee Studies teacher for the past 10 years. But she is also a novelist whose debut historical fiction novel, Even As We Breathe, was published this past September by a new literary imprint called Fireside Industries, a collaboration between The Appalachian Writers Workshop and the University Press of Kentucky. Annette talks to us about the James Baldwin quote that inspired her to write about a clean bone which has significance in her writing practice as well as her novel, what things she learned from her editor, well-known Kentucky author Silas House, and how she wants to use her influence of being a Cherokee novelist to educate the wider public that Native Americans are something very different from what they see in old Westerns and popular culture. Books Mentioned in this Episode: 1- Even As We Breathe by Annette Saunooke Clapsaddle 2- Beverly Cleary books 3- Babysitters Club series 4- The Prettiest Star by Carter Sickels 5- F*ckface: And Other Stories by Leah Hampton 6- Going to Water by Annette Saunooke Clapsaddle 7- Myths of the Cherokee by James Mooney (and other books) 8- Crenshaw by Katherine Applegate 9- Crooked Hallelujah by Kelli Jo Ford 10- When the Light of the World Was Subdued, Our Songs Came Through: A Norton Anthology of Native Nations Poetry by Joy Harjo 11- Horsepower by Joy Priest 12- City of Saints and Thieves by Natalie C.

What can food teach us about our community lifeways, past and present? Community food life ways or one way that first nations tribes can regain food sovereignty in the face of federal policies that have diminished native lands, imposed a non-native diet, and made it difficult to retain native languages. This is a core part of the work of today's guest on the Leading Voices in Food A'dae Romero-Briones. About A'dae Romero-Briones A'dae Romero-Briones is the director of the Native Agriculture and Food Systems Program at the First Nations Development Institute. The Institute's goal is to strengthen American Indian economies to support healthy native communities, in part by preserving native food ways. She is also the granddaughter of a Pueblo farmer and was born in Cochiti Pueblo, New Mexico. A'dae earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in public policy from Princeton University and a law doctorate from Arizona State University's College of law. In addition to her LLM degree in food and agricultural law from the University of Arkansas, she has written extensively about food safety, the produce safety rule and tribes, and the protection of tribal traditional foods. Interview Summary Could you describe the phrase community food lifeways for our listeners? Absolutely. So when we think about food, we usually think about it as this separate entity. But when we're talking about community food lifeways, we're talking about the integration of food in virtually every institution that makes up a society. So whether it be your political institution, your spiritual institutions, your economic institutions, all of those institutions in some part has some relationship to food. So when we're talking about food lifeways, we're not only talking about having dinner at the table with your family, but we're talking about how that meal will affect everything else in that society. You were honored by the White House and the USDA is a Champion of Change for Agriculture in 2014. What motivated you to engage in agricultural law work amongst the indigenous communities? Growing up in Cochiti where there's subsistence farmers, there have been quite a number of statutes, probably in the last 30 years that have made it harder and harder to be a Pueblo farmer. And so it was just a natural progression for me to want to perpetuate Pueblo lifeways and food ways and sort of protect my community from those intrusions. So agricultural law was a natural step for me. What kind of threats are we talking about? Indigenous communities face all kinds of threats. Not only internally but externally. We can start with a whole bunch of federal laws that affect how indigenous people can access their foods even to the point of what they actually eat in their communities and everything from the Food Safety Modernization Act to maybe Farm-to-School programs that focus on bringing food to the reservation rather than allowing traditional foods in the schools. And when you think about children being in the school for eight hours a day, sometimes more, that's the primary place where they're going to have food. If you don't have traditional foods from that community in that space, these children are going to grow up without having the luxury and the liberty of those traditional foods daily. All the way to how water comes into the reservation and whether that's clean and how that water affects the food that's grown in those communities; or even how the federal government or state governments manage their natural resources, whether that be hunting elk and deer, how the management plans like for abalone and seaweed affect how those traditional food systems are accessed by tribal folks who depend on them. So there's numerous threats and food and agricultural law is probably one of the most complicated sectors of law because there's so many entities that have their hands in how those resources are managed. So within that agricultural law space, what would you say are some of the greatest challenges in your work at First Nations Development Institute? And especially in regards to economic development and an asset management for the indigenous communities engaged in that food and Ag work. I think the hardest challenge is articulating the differences in how indigenous people view an economy. So mainstream society views an economy in terms of monetary values of commodities, for example. Indigenous communities who have established economies for generations, view an economy as a system in which a community manages its resources and not necessarily tie it to monetary values. And sometimes that's really hard for people to understand--that value is just not a dollar sign. That value can be measured in other ways, like social impact, or shared community resources. And those are much harder to articulate and harder for people to understand. So that's the greatest challenge, I think, for us. So what does that look like, in terms of not being a traditional economy valuing money? Someone from the outside might think oh so you're just not making any money. How do you live? How would you respond to an outsider's viewpoint on that? So let's take water, for example. In a mainstream economy, the person who captures that water at the source is sort of the owner of that resource. But in an indigenous community, where water is considered an entity or a being or a relationship, they are member of the community. So in that sense, you can't put a dollar figure on that life of that resource or that being because there's a relationship in the community that's much more valuable than any dollar figure you can put on it. And so what we normally think of like commodities or even resources in the mainstream economy sometimes are considered members of our community, like beings. And so that I think is the primary difference. Our community is very relationship based even to non-human entities like water or land or the animals or the plants. And really we can't put dollar figures on those beings. Those are members of our community essentially. So we asked earlier challenges, but what does that orientation mean to you in terms of the opportunities that exist? There are so many opportunities! I think that indigenous communities have so much to share and so much to offer the world about how we view community resources like water, like land, like animals. And so for us it's an incredible journey to share those stories with the world. And the other challenge I think is finding spaces where indigenous people can tell those stories safely in respectable conversations, because oftentimes when two entities are using two different languages, it can become a stressful situation. So the opportunity is really creating those spaces where we can share our stories with others who are willing to listen. What are some spaces that you've found are amenable to that conversation? Well, I think I personally am not the creator of those spaces. I think a lot of our young people are the creator of those spaces. So we have this new generation of very tech savvy people who are creating and carving out their space in the social media world. We have groups like the I Collective, which is group of indigenous chefs who are basically going around the country and serving indigenous meals to people who normally wouldn't have access to them. And so I think those are two new spaces that are definitely being developed right now by young people in our community. What would your response be to folks who are really not speaking that same language, who kind of can't grip or understand of a more non-profit-based approach or commodity driven approach to utilizing those resources to grow our food? A lot of people probably would say, well, if you're not making money, how are you sustaining your family and if everybody owns the river, then how do you decide who can use the water and how? What's your response to those folks? I would say spend some time in an indigenous community. My grandma used to tell me that the easiest way to learn about how a person views the world is have a shared meal with them and their families. And those are very complicated questions and I think indigenous people have been finding ways to answer those questions over generations. And so we have a responsibility to each other, and to that river to figure out the best possible solution to ensure its continuation as well as the continuation of the community that depends on it. And so there are ways to do it and indigenous communities have found many different ways to do it. Wherever a person is most likely there's an indigenous community close by. I would say sit down and have a meal with them, go with them acorn gathering, or maybe find out what traditional foods that are important to them and start there to begin those lessons. How does your spiritual and faith tradition inform your work? You've talked a lot about community, but how that plays into your life in the law and working at this intersection with the food system but also with law, so how does faith come into that? So I grew up with my grandparents and one of the primary lessons that have stayed with me through adulthood was from my grandpa. He used to say when we plant our corn seeds, that have been passed down from generation to generation, you're not only planting that seed so that food sustains your body, you're literally eating or digesting all the prayers that your ancestors put in that one seed. And so those traditional foods and those traditional sources are the source, our spiritual connection to our ancestors and to our earth. And so why would I not protect that using every available tool, including the law You've done a lot specifically on food safety and you mentioned the Food Safety Modernization Act. So what's an example of why that matters to the communities you serve? Thank you for asking them about food safety. I don't think it's like a hot topic and agricultural world, but I love food safety. And part of the reason I love it so much is because I think there's a chasm where food safety is often looked at from a science point of view, kind of at the back end, sort of. Food safety in mainstream mainly looks at like sanitizing everything like soon as it comes from the field, sanitize it and make sure it's clean. Indigenous approaches to food safety are more long term. How do we look at the water that goes into our food? How do we ensure the soil that is healthy goes into our food so that food is grown from healthy place with healthy water and healthy soil. Then people are going to be healthy. So it's a much more long-term view. My thesis was basically about these two different worldviews and I wanted to ensure tribes knew that they can carve out a space in the food safety world to practice their version of food safety. And part of that is enacting their own tribal food code laws that address food safety. Very few tribes have enacted food and agricultural codes, but they can. They are sovereign governments who are able to enact their own food codes. So within those food codes, what's a couple of examples of things you might see there that might be different from provisions in the Food Safety Modernization Act or elsewhere? What makes those unique relative to the outside world? So I think the primary difference would be the authority. Right now the Food Safety Modernization Act puts the authority with the FDA or the State Department of Health or the equivalent for tribal communities. The authority lies with the tribal government and the tribal government can exercise who licenses, for instance, community kitchens, or what kind of standards farmers have to enact in order to ensure that the produce is safe, or what kind of water standards are enacted to ensure the water into the reservation is clean. And so those are standards are much greater in tribal communities than they would be in mainstream communities just because we want to ensure that all the inputs that go into our food are safe. Going back to this issue of faith, in your view, what are the unique gifts of your particular faith or spiritual tradition as it relates to this food systems work and these food policy conversations? So I, I would say the gifts that indigenous people have to offer the food space is that we have learned that food itself is like an indicator. Like when somebody in our community doesn't have access to food, or when the food is not culturally appropriate or when the food is being hoarded by one group or another--we know that something in our society is amiss. So food is the indicator that ensures that our society is running smoothly. Food is the indicator not only for like our physical being, but like our spiritual being, our political being, our economic being. All of those have some relationship to food and indigenous people have figured that out. So when we look at like acorns or seaweed or elk, there's ways that we read this tribute, that food among the community to ensure that everybody can partake and has access and so that ensures the health of all our institutions in our community. And that ensures that we as a community are healthy enough to perpetuate into future years and future generations. It sounds like equal access is a really big pillar within. How do you go about attempting to accomplish equal access? The most simple answer to that is first you'd have to know who's in your community, right? There's very intimate gatherings that we have, I think any indigenous community has, which is very different than like a mainstream neighborhood. Sometimes people don't even know who their neighbors are, so much less know if they're hungry or if they have access to food. But when you have those intimate gatherings consistently and community members are present, you know who those people are and you know what kind of state or life they're having. And so when you know that you kind of have a responsibility to respond to them and to make sure that they have access. Produced by Deborah Hill, Duke World Food Policy Center
