Episode 2: Decolonizing the Diet

‘Rezilience,’ Season 4 of the ‘American Diagnosis’ podcast, traces the resilience of Indigenous peoples in the U.S. taking action to protect the health and well-being of their communities.

In this episode, we’ll hear how the history of a scorched-earth campaign, and other disruptive policies, altered the landscape of Indigenous foodways and, in return, Indigenous bodies. History and food experts like Reagan Wytsalucy and Martin Reinhardt are nurturing Native food traditions.

Voices from the episode:
- Reagan Wytsalucy, extension assistant professor for the Agriculture & Natural Resources department, Utah State University
- Roy Talker, Wytsalucy’s father who served as a Navajo translator and assisted with foodways research
- Martin Reinhardt, professor of Native American studies at Northern Michigan University — on Facebook
