Zach Ducheneaux (Cheyenne River Sioux) leaves his post this month as the administrator of the Farm Service Agency at the Department of Agriculture. During his time in the Joe Biden administration, he helped direct some of the federal government’s key agriculture and faming programs and policies.

The work of Mariah Gladstone (Cherokee and Blackfeet) teaching people about Indigenous food and cooking leads her to publish an Indigenous foods cookbook for kids, Mountains to Oceans: Kids’ Recipes from Native Land.

That’s all on The Menu, Native America Calling’s regular feature on Indigenous food sovereignty hosted by Andi Murphy.
