#41 - Former President & First Lady of the Navajo Nation on Food Sovereignty

Written By Stephen Cowan

Former President of the Navajo Nation Jonathan Nez and Former First Lady Phefelia Nez join Plant Frequencies at the 50th Annual Denver March Pow-Wow to talk food sovereignty, indigenous nutrition, and taking back Native health.

Jonathan shares his transformation from over 300 pounds to plant-based ultramarathoner and the real history behind fry bread.

Phefelia (starting at 21:20) talks about growing up traditionally on the Navajo Nation, food access on a reservation the size of West Virginia with 11 grocery stores, and Navajo teachings that use the cornstalk to raise children.
