Loretta Barrett Oden, a Potawatomi chef, is a busy woman these days. The proprietor of Corn Dance Café, an eatery in Santa Fe New Mexico, she's filming a 13-part series on Native food being aired on PBS and working on a companion cookbook.

"I defy the stereotypical fry bread and mutton stew image of Indian foods," she tells The Santa Fe New Mexican.

This weekend, Oden is opening another restaurant, SAGE at Firelake, in Shawnee, Oklahoma, her home. She'll be closing Corn Dance on December 31.
