Decolonizing the Diet | Tending the Wild | Season 1, Episode 4 | KCET

- California - a biodiversity hotspot - provides an abundance of plants for both food and medicine. To Native peoples across the state, gathering locations were like supermarkets today. They provided all the resources necessary to survive. These native plants are relevant today as they reinforce cultural continuity for California's Native peoples and provide healthy, drought-tolerant alternatives to the processed foods typically found in Western diets. In contemporary California, movements such as "eat local" and scientists' "discovery" of the health benefits inherent in chia and sage, for instance, have led to an increasing awareness and desire to purchase indigenous foods. But while more and more people are recognizing the benefits of California's indigenous plants, the scale of the commercial food industry often prohibits access to local indigenous communities. In this video, we visit members of the Chia Cafe Collective, a group working in Southern California to revive Native food practices and raise awareness about the precarity of these important cultural resources.

Its almost like we need to start planting native plants and understanding how to use the native foods as our new food source. Like go back to harvesting our own foods. Going back to the old ways. Working with other to growing enough of the native foods
Almost? I've been doing that for a few years now.
Native foods are very healthy
They are beneficial for people with diabetes
They have a reverse effect of fry bread
I want to be more healthy too
Yes, meat, and fish.
Please start to plant oak trees. It will not help you but it will help your greatgrandchildren to survive.
I've started to do things that will not benefit me but it will benefit coming generations, i hope so...
Thank you.
My goodness! No words enough to express my thankfulness
Their song made me cry. So beautiful.
I love seeing people honor our plant relations. My jays plant the oaks. I keep them in my small yard for the next seven generations. It’s a blessing to have any land to bring back to a native state. Thank you for your inspiration. Much love and blessings. A’ho.
What a beautiful way to live as well as to honor the earth and your ancestors
Great grateful appreciation for the valuable video to share to public viewers.
This woman's knowledge is very important. It is hard work to do the videos. But to show her work more in full would be a necessary skill builder for indigenous people's who may not be around elders to teach them. Those in urban areas who still have access to local oak trees. More step by step videos would be a blessing. Perhaps a series of them. This is so important. Thank you for your wisdom and perseverance and desire to do these. A whole series on thr acorn processing from start to finish could help many people.
That iced white sage tea looks delicious
I love this whole series. I help with habitat restoration here in Ventureño Chumash territory and I learn a lot from the TEK shared in these videos about how to care for the plants and what plants to prioritize. Thank you to all the California Indigenous people who have shared their knowledge.
I need to start eating the way my ancestors did. My whole families diabetic and I'm nervous that I will be too.
Thank you for your work!
Beautiful, informative and inspiring, thankyou.
❤❤❤❤
I enjoy this entire documentary, but this particular segment is worth watching again more closely by itself.
Ahéhee’ for these efforts. I’m trying to eat more veggies. My dad just got diabetes. I have a 40% chance of getting diabetes because I am Native.
so cool.
Please help these people to pass on what they know, the stories, the care of the plants.
Phenomenal video!!
What a cool video! This is how man survived!
Great short film truly respect all the work y'all are putting in
Those darn invasive squirrels ate all the acorns too
thank you for sharing
I loved this thank you for share
Very nice, thank you.
Beautiful hychka
Beautiful 🙏
Please point me to books and websites to get access to these sorts of wholesome foods. I’m in a food desert and need good food to fix my badly damaged gut biome. Trying to get away from anything processed.
Interesting. Recently I've tried reconnecting w my Coahuiltecan roots by eating more lizards, ants, and undigested seeds collected from deer dung.
oh......
Acorn is human food
When he is cooking the chia. Where can I get a plan like that?
Plant power
I tried to eat wild acorns. Too much tannin.
✊
Could we propagate using air layering to duplicate our trees to safe them?
🖤💜💚
Lmao I love her
Could you please share the recipe for the Chia "power bars"?
Here it is: www.kcet.org/shows/tending-the-wild/indigenous-cooking-chia-power-bars
Let’s use plastic cups and try to save oak trees
"All of our communities are threatened and losing people from diabetes and other diseases that come in from the introduced diet." Said that big lady
Wow, lateral violence much?
And???
Please don't whisper behind the camera it scared me and its distracting.
???
🌖🌑🌔
I'm sorry your worried about over taking of trees but not the over fishing Natives take!
You have no idea about American history do you? The decline in most fish population is due to dams.
She has Europe written all over her
Excuse me?
@@okaminess you're not excused
And what exactly does that entail?
@@skylahenry8552 it entails shitty quality deception and a fraudster😉so there u have it‼️
@@okaminess are you offended I'm talking about your sister like that saying the reality you're not excused by stealing other people's culture and way of life and then killing those people and stealing their land and enforcing your way of life and someone else's country you need to take that crap back to Europe where it came from
The European native LOL
Wow. Indigenous ways are lost on you.
@@okaminess since when are you the judge and jury get the f*** out of here shut up
@@okaminess lol why do u say that because I expect me to bend over to u on all fours🖕😅ain't gonna happen motherfucker it's bad enough I'm speaking your ugly english language but I'm tougher than I cuz I can speak your ugly English can you speak my indigenous language I don't think so 🖕🇺🇲👎💩
We’ve made Indian fry bread with acorns for Boy scouts. It’s labor and time intensive. It is NOT superior in any way to wheat. A horrible food source.
XD fry bread is not a traditional Native food anyway. It’s an assimilation recipe.
Right, a "horrible" food source that was a staple for many peoples for hundreds if not thousands of years.
