Craig Torres on Reviving Native Food Practices

In contemporary California, movements such as "eat local" and scientists' "discovery" of the health benefits inherent in chia and sage, for instance, have led to an increasing awareness and desire to purchase indigenous foods. Here, Craig Torres of Chia Cafe Collective talks about how educators train modern society to phase out the harmful elements of their diets. 

Co-produced by KCETLink Media Group and the Autry Museum, this six-part multimedia series and one-hour documentary special are presented in association with California Continued, a groundbreaking exhibition now on view at the Autry.
