Sioux Chef team continues with their mission to help educate and make Indigenous foods more accessible to as many communities as possible through their non-profit arm, North American Traditional Indigenous Food Systems (NÂTIFS) and the accompanying Indigenous
Food Lab professional Indigenous kitchen and training center. Working to address the economic and health crises affecting Native communities by re-establishing Native foodways, NÂTIFS imagines a new North American food system that generates wealth and improves
health in Native communities through food-related enterprises. </span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:black" class="ContentPasted1"><o:p class="ContentPasted1"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> </span></o:p></span></p>

member of the Oglala Lakota tribe, Chef Sean Sherman was born and raised in Pine Ridge, South Dakota. Cooking in kitchens across the United States and Mexico for over 30 years, Chef Sean is renowned nationally and internationally in the culinary movement of
Indigenous foods. His primary focus is the revitalization and evolution of Indigenous foods systems throughout North America. His extensive studies on the foundations of Indigenous food systems have led to his deep understanding of what is needed to showcase
Native American cuisine in today's world. Highlights from Chef Sean’s career include creating the business, The Sioux Chef, designed to provide catering and food education in the Minneapolis/Saint Paul area. In October 2017, Sean and his team presented the
first decolonized dinner at the prestigious James Beard House in Manhattan. His first book, The Sioux Chef’s Indigenous Kitchen, received the James Beard Award for Best American Cookbook for 2018. In July 2021, Chef Sean and his business partner Dana opened
Owamni by The Sioux Chef, Minnesota’s first full service Indigenous restaurant, featuring healthy Indigenous food and drinks. Owamni received the James Beard Award for Best New Restaurant in June 2022. </span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:black" class="ContentPasted1"><o:p class="ContentPasted1"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> </span></o:p></span></p>
