alter-NATIVE: Kitchen, Episode 2

Traveling chef Brian Yazzie brings Native cuisine back home to the Navajo Nation in Arizona. There he looks for truly Indigenous ingredients, as even "classic" Native comfort foods like fry bread have colonizer origins. Brian plans to cook for just friends and family but when word spreads and suddenly he's prepping for a large group of curious community elders, how will Brian impress them?
