From ‘Emergence’ Magazine….
by Jake Skeets
“Each sheep represents life. Each sheep represents living with nature. So I cut into the sheep’s neck with care and precision, despite my own worries, because we were gathering to celebrate life.”
In the American Southwest, Indigenous leaders are restoring ancestral foodways to re-establish agency over the health and welfare of their communities and reconnect people to land through both tradition and innovation. M. Karlos Baca of the Southern Ute Nation co-founded the I-Collective, a group of chefs and collaborators from across Turtle Island who are building new narratives around Indigenous foods. In Shiprock, New Mexico, Diné seedkeeper Graham Biyáál produces traditional ingredients such as blue corn seeds and juniper ash to ensure continuity of access from his ancestors to future generations. Through story, memory, and practice, these efforts are renewing the sacred agreement between food sources and the communities who nurture and are nourished by them.
In this week’s essay, Diné poet and author Jake Skeets celebrates the foodways that have sustained his people since time immemorial. Called to butcher a sheep for Kinaałda, a traditional puberty ceremony, he summons the experiences that have shaped his own relationship with nourishment and reflects on the systemic barriers that have kept good food out of reach for his family. Jake puts forth story as a pathway back to food sovereignty, finding the rich integrity of his ancestors’ sophisticated approach to nourishment alive in the practices, histories, and Native ingredients he shares with his community around the table. “
