  • 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

      Native foods are very healthy
      They are beneficial for people with diabetes
      They have a reverse effect of fry bread

    Please start to plant oak trees. It will not help you but it will help your greatgrandchildren to survive.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • @okaminess

      Right, a "horrible" food source that was a staple for many peoples for hundreds if not thousands of years.
