Turtle Island: Foods and Traditions of the Indigenous Peoples of North America

All preorder copies from Birchbark Books will be signed by Sean Sherman.

Uncover the stories behind the foods that have linked the natural environments, traditions, and histories of Indigenous peoples across North America for millennia through more than 150 ancestral and modern recipes from three-time James Beard Award-winning Oglala Lakota chef Sean Sherman.

The duo hit the red carpet in looks custom designed by Native American fashion designers.

Earlier this month, Minneapolis’s own Sean Sherman was named in the Time 100 Most Influential People of 2023.

On Wednesday, the local chef, Indigenous food force, author of award-winning cookbook The Sioux Chef’s Indigenous Kitchen, James Beard Award-winner, and co-founder of the North American Traditional Indigenous Food Systems (NATIFS) hit the gala’s red carpet with his partner, Mecca Bos. The two used the high-profile event to spotlight Native American fashion designers.
