Blending food studies with environmental history, the book examines how cuisines reflect social and political issues related to cultural representation, restaurants, and food sovereignty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">L. Sasha Gora chronicles the rise of Indigenous restaurants and their influence on Canadian food culture, engaging with questions about how shifts in appetite reflect broader shifts in imaginations of local environments and identities. Drawing on a diverse range of sources \u2013 from recipes and menus to artworks and television shows \u2013 the book discusses both historical and contemporary representations of Indigenous foodways and how they are changing amid the relocalization of food systems.<br><em>Culinary Claims<\/em>&nbsp;tells a new story of settler colonialism and Indigenous resistance, emphasizing the critical role that restaurants play in Canada\u2019s cultural landscape. It investigates how food shapes our understanding of place and the politics that underpin this relationship. Ultimately, the book asks, What insights can historians gain from restaurants \u2013 and their legacies \u2013 as reflections of Indigenous and settler negotiations over cultural claims to land?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sasha Gora, cultural historian and Project Director of \u201cOff the Menu\u201d at University of Augsburg (Germany), discussed her book\u00a0Culinary Claims: Indigenous Restaurant Politics in Canada\u00a0(University [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"episode_type":"audio","audio_file":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/2025-03-24-Gora.mp3","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/2025-03-24-Gora_pod.jpeg","cover_image_id":"3281","duration":"00:55:51","filesize":"40.97M","filesize_raw":"42962230","date_recorded":"2025-03-24","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"7","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"6","itunes_episode_type":"full"},"tags":[17,18],"series":[16],"class_list":["post-3291","podcast","type-podcast","status-publish","hentry","tag-books","tag-environment","series-greenhouse-environmental-humanities-book-talks"],"episode_featured_image":false,"episode_player_image":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/2025-03-24-Gora_pod.jpeg","download_link":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast-download\/3291\/sasha-gora-culinary-claims","player_link":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast-player\/3291\/sasha-gora-culinary-claims","audio_player":"<a class=\"wp-embedded-audio\" href=\"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast-player\/3291\/sasha-gora-culinary-claims\">https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast-player\/3291\/sasha-gora-culinary-claims<\/a>","episode_data":{"playerMode":"dark","subscribeUrls":{"apple_podcasts":{"key":"apple_podcasts","url":"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/greenhouse-environmental-humanities-book-talks\/id1664960759","label":"Apple Podcasts","class":"apple_podcasts","icon":"apple-podcasts.png"},"google_podcasts":{"key":"google_podcasts","url":"","label":"Google Podcasts","class":"google_podcasts","icon":"google-podcasts.png"},"rss":{"key":"rss","url":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/feed\/podcast\/greenhouse-environmental-humanities-book-talks\/","label":"RSS","class":"rss","icon":"rss.png"},"spotify":{"key":"spotify","url":"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/0TNTSCl3zRBues4Eqjkwwm","label":"Spotify","class":"spotify","icon":"spotify.png"}},"rssFeedUrl":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/feed\/podcast\/greenhouse-environmental-humanities-book-talks","embedCode":"<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"OdynQBAk9r\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast\/sasha-gora-culinary-claims\/\">Sasha Gora &#8211; Culinary Claims<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" src=\"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast\/sasha-gora-culinary-claims\/embed\/#?secret=OdynQBAk9r\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" title=\"&#8220;Sasha Gora &#8211; Culinary Claims&#8221; &#8212; The Greenhouse Book Talks\" data-secret=\"OdynQBAk9r\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\"><\/iframe><script>\n\/*!
