From an ambitious Apache chef to a gifted Lakota high school student, Gather follows the stories of natives on the frontlines of a growing movement to reconnect with spiritual and cultural identities that were devastated by genocide. Together, they show how the reclaiming and recovery of ancient food ways is a way forward for native Americans to bring back health and vitality to their people.
