Eating Like Our Ancestors Project
Unči Kitchen Toolkit
Discover the flavors and stories of Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe elders with our new cookbook, Unči Kitchen.
Imagine yourself sitting at your Unči kitchen table, reading this book together. Our initial aim, was for this toolkit to be embraced as a companion for enhancing the understanding, and application of traditional foods among younger generations. However, it evolved into something far greater.
This book is dedicated to those who were raised with the knowledge of traditional
foods, as well as those who weren’t fortunate enough to inherit these passed-down teachings. It’s for both the traditional and non-traditional tiošpaye (extended family), and for anyone eager to delve into the rich world of traditional Lakota foods.
Supporting Cultural Sustainability
The toolkit will be made available online soon, and hardcopies will be available for pickup in the near future. Due to limited funds, we are only printing 500 copies. This toolkit contains not only our history but also a piece of our present-day culture. In line with our Lakota Values, we will not be selling this information, but instead making it freely available to all who wish to access it. As we have limited resources, if you'd like to support additional print runs, donations are welcome and appreciated.
