DoomsdaysCW<p>Online cooking show, lifestyle blog encourage <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Indigenous</span></a> ingredients in everyday meals</p><p>Anna Ehrick<br>April 3, 2025 </p><p>PHOENIX – "Since she was 3 years old, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MariahGladstone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MariahGladstone</span></a> says, she has had a passion for food.</p><p>"After graduating from high school in northwest Montana, she studied environmental engineering at Columbia University in New York. During summers, she returned to her Blackfeet Nation home where she realized how disconnected Indigenous communities were from their traditional food systems.</p><p>" 'After I graduated college, I would take vacation days from my real world job to go to food sovereignty conferences,' said Gladstone, who is Blackfeet and Cherokee. 'At one of those conferences, I said, ‘Someone really needs to start a cooking show about Indigenous foods. I think I’m just going to do that.' </p><p>"Indigikitchen was born. The online cooking show is a combination of content on YouTube as well as recipes shared on its website. The foods contain Native ingredients like berries, corn, squash and wild rice.</p><p>"<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodSovereignty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoodSovereignty</span></a> is a concept coined in 1996 by La Via Campesina, a global movement of farmers that recognizes the right of people to healthy and culturally appropriate food produced through ecologically sound and sustainable methods.</p><p>"On her website, Gladstone emphasizes the importance of the recipes for Indigenous people.</p><p>" 'I want to connect people with information about sustainable harvesting methods, planting knowledge, sustainable hunting and, of course, the recipes and the food that are ways of using our <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AncestralKnowledge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AncestralKnowledge</span></a> in our modern lives,' she said.</p><p>"Gladstone spreads this knowledge by working with Native farmers and fishermen in the hopes that it not only restores their businesses, but the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LandManagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LandManagement</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TraditionalEcologies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TraditionalEcologies</span></a>.</p><p>"While based in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Montana" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Montana</span></a>, Indigikitchen has made its way across the country. Gladstone is a popular speaker with groups in the Southwest and the Great Lakes region who hire her for educational lectures, cooking classes and school residencies. Gladstone also has ties to Canada, where she has formed relationships with other nations in the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BlackfootConfederacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlackfootConfederacy</span></a>.</p><p>"These connections have motivated Gladstone to continue her work with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Indigikitchen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Indigikitchen</span></a>, and she said she’s grateful to use a tool like social media in order to reach the right audiences.</p><p>" 'Indian Country is small and Facebook is a digital telegraph, so it has a way of reaching a lot of communities very quickly where everyone shares my recipes and utilizes them,' she said. 'The more people I see using those recipes, the bigger difference it makes to support Native producers as well as healthy nutrition in our communities.'</p><p>"Among the recipes on her website are Three Sisters Soup, which uses corn, beans and squash; pemmican, a mixture of dry buffalo meat, dried cranberries and blueberries and grass-fed beef tallow; sunflower maple cookies; and mesquite blue cornbread.</p><p>"Connecting Indigenous people with the food they ate before European foods were introduced into their diets is a movement gaining popularity. According to the National Indian Council on Aging, Native foods included seeds, nuts, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/corn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>corn</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/beans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>beans</span></a>, chile, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/squash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>squash</span></a>, wild fruits and greens, herbs, fish and game.</p><p>"People like Gladstone call these '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PreContact" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PreContact</span></a> foods,' and they emphasize the importance for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousPeople</span></a> to celebrate their food culture and improve their health by returning to a more traditional diet.</p><p>"That is especially important for the Navajo Nation, which the USDA classifies as a 'food desert.' There are only 14 grocery stores for a land mass of 29,000 square miles, forcing people to travel a long way to buy nutritious foods.</p><p>"Another Native food and lifestyle blogger who promotes <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Din%C3%A9" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Diné</span></a>, or <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Navajo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Navajo</span></a>, recipes is <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AlanaYazzie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AlanaYazzie</span></a>. On her website, thefancynavajo.com, she posts recipes for blue corn waffles, sumac berry smoothies and blue corn oatmeal from her cookbook, 'The Modern Navajo Kitchen.'
