Chef M. Karlos Baca founded the Taste of Native Cuisine, an Indigenous Chefs collective in 2011, and in connection with the Southern Ute Cultural Center & Museum, as a means to reintroduce and revitalize Indigenous Foodways through education, foraging, and indigenous menu tastings. His work has been featured on Zagat Foodways: 10 Meals That Define America.

Karlos recently partnered with The Sioux Chef team in hosting Yúaarükapì “Foods of our Natural World” Special 5-Course Indigenous Pop-up Dinner in the Minneapolis area. Here’s a glimpse of what that amazing dinner entailed and a preview of what’s in store for next week’s Food Sovereignty Symposium & Festival.
