In this episode of Native Lights, we sit down with Vernon DeFoe, the Executive Chef at the Gatherings Café located inside the Minneapolis American Indian Center. Vernon, a proud Red Cliff Anishinaabe, has over 20 years of experience in the restaurant industry and is a passionate advocate for Indigenous food sovereignty. For the past decade, he's been deeply involved in the movement to reclaim traditional foodways.

Join us as Vernon shares the journey that led him to his current role, his favorite dishes to cook, and the importance of partnering with Indigenous food distributors to sustain authentic culinary practices.

And for a twist, we dive into Vernon’s other passion—music—and talk about his band and how he finds harmony between his love for cooking and creating music.
