A celebrated Indigenous chef presents a transformative cookbook that combines compelling narratives with 125 intertribal recipes designed to nourish wellness and revitalize ancestral food traditions.

Chef Crystal Wahpepah has leveraged her platform to illuminate the often-overlooked stories of Oakland’s Native American communities, many relocated from reservations nationwide during the 1950s relocation era.

Her mission centers on reclaiming foodways, converting intergenerational pain into resilience, and offering healing through cuisine.

Her work has been featured on Food Network’s Chopped and Beating Bobby Flay, bringing Indigenous culinary wisdom to national audiences.
