The LA County Library website will undergo scheduled maintenance on Tuesday, December 2 from 7 am to 9 am. During this window there may be a brief period of downtime.
Join LA County Librarian and Director Dr. Skye Patrick for a conversation with Indigenous Californian Sara Calvosa Olson, author of Chími Nu’am: Native California Foodways for the Contemporary Kitchen.
Sara and Skye will be discussing how food can connect and heal, the ways it roots us to our past and our future, and how decolonizing our food systems can be tackled -- at least a little bit -- from your home kitchen.
Sara Calvosa Olson (Karuk) is the author of Chími Nu’am: Native California Foodways for the Contemporary Kitchen (Heyday, 2023). Her work dwells at the intersection of storytelling, Indigenous food systems, security, sovereignty, reconnection, and recipe development. With an interest in using both culturally sound & faithfully updated techniques honoring traditional plants and animals, her cooking inspires a new look at the oldest foods in California.
