Episode Details

Nathan Davis is a chef and policy advocate who grew up in North Dakota on the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation. Through his work Nathan has had to navigate his Native culture in non-Native spaces within the US. As immigrants, Luciana and Claudia found a surprising amount of similarities with Nathan as they also find themselves constantly living between cultures.

Nathan will be one of the chefs at the event New York EATSS, where you can experience Indigenous food, music, dance, and art. The event is this Thursday, April 30th from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm at Chelsea Piers.

ABOUT THE HOSTS:

Luciana and Claudia Valdiviezo know what it’s like to move to the U.S. – twice. They were born in Peru and lived there for only a few years until their parents moved the family to the U.S. The sisters kept in touch with their roots, speaking Spanish at home and every Christmas when they visited Peru for the holidays. Then, when they were 12 and 11 respectively, the family moved back to Peru. Growing up both Peruvian and American during those formative years gave Luciana and Claudia a deep understanding of what it means to belong, and not belong, at the same time.

The sisters eventually moved back to the U.S. Luciana is a marketing professional living in Washington D.C. with her husband and two young children. Claudia is a writer living in New York City.
