Been reading “Decolonizing Our Diets by Recovering Our Ancestors’ Garden”- by Devon A. Mihesuah-a Choctaw citizen- and I’m learning even more about Indigenous Americans as well as the impact western diet/food has on Indigenous American communities.
“...it is estimated that 75 percent of American Indian adults have lactose intolerance. Yet the Dietary Guidelines advises that everyone eat two or three servings of dairy foods, despite the reality that other foods, such as green, leafy vegetables and beans, also supply calcium.”
There is also a video on YouTube about decolonizing diets:

Not Native myself, but it sucks hearing about how much damage western diets has negatively impacted Native cultures and communities.
* 1 (15.5oz can) garbanzo beans drained and rinsed
* ½ teaspoon baking soda
* ⅓ cup tahini
* ½ teaspoon grated lemon zest
* Juice from 1 lemon
* 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
* 2 garlic cloves
* ¾ teaspoon cumin
* 1 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
* 1/3 cup fresh dill
* 1/4 cup ice water
Method
1. In a pot, combine garbanzo beans and baking soda. Cover with 1 inch of water. Boil, then reduce heat to medium-high and simmer for 12-15 minutes until chickpeas are soft and thoroughly cooked. Drain.
2. In a food processor, add tahini, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Blend for 30 seconds, scrape the sides, then blend for another 30 seconds to form a thick paste.
3. Add extra virgin olive oil, garlic, cumin, and salt. Blend, scraping the sides as needed.
4. Add half of the cooked chickpeas and blend. Scrape the sides, then add the remaining chickpeas and dill. Blend until smooth and creamy, approximately 30 seconds.
5. While the processor is running, gradually pour in ice water until the hummus becomes creamy & smooth.
