We're Still Here with Simon and Julie

In this episode of We’re Still Here, we delve into the multifaceted efforts of Indigenous communities to reclaim and revitalize their heritage. We begin by addressing recent controversial remarks from commentator Matt Walsh, examining how such dismissals of Native history perpetuate harmful narratives and undermine Indigenous experiences.

Next, we celebrate the culinary renaissance led by Native chefs who are decolonizing food by reintroducing ancestral ingredients and traditional cooking methods. This movement not only preserves cultural identity but also promotes health and sustainability within Native communities.

A highlight of this culinary resurgence is the American Indian College Fund’s 2025 New York EATSS (Epicurean Award to Support Scholars) event, held on May 14 at The Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers. Attendees enjoyed a rich tapestry of Indigenous cuisine, art, and music, including a performance by singer-songwriter Raye Zaragoza .

Finally, we turn our attention to Sacramento, where community activists are advocating for the renaming of streets that bear racial slurs. This initiative reflects a broader movement to confront and rectify historical injustices embedded in our public spaces, demonstrating that the journey toward equity and recognition extends beyond monuments to the very names that define our cities.

Join us as we explore these stories of resistance, resilience, and the ongoing efforts to honor Indigenous heritage in contemporary society.
