In the third, fourth, and fifth segments of this five-part interview, Little Bear describes to Kakoli Mitra how attending his first sweat lodge while still in prison transformed his life, and how he changed his attitude and behaviors once he reentered society. Having become passionate about cooking food in his teenage years, Bear dedicated himself to serving others in the community through food, in addition to working in construction. Several years later, his youngest daughter connected him to a Native Elder, who set him on the path to finding his roots. And finally, 32 years after leaving prison, Bear was reunited with his three siblings who hadn’t known about his existence until he reached out to them the moment he found them. Just three years ago, he saw, for the first time, people who looked like him, and he learned about his family, finding out that his father had been Taíno (the Indigenous Arawakan-speaking peoples of the Caribbean, who were almost completely annihilated shortly after the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the Americas). Bear talks about how he engages with his Native culture, to heal himself and others, and how feeding the marginalized (homeless, poor, etc.) is central to his caring, especially after his youngest daughter — as a teenager — became a fatal victim of police violence. Little Bear wakes up feeling optimistic about each new day, because he can’t wait to put healing into his food to care for the community.
