Indigenous Culture
Indigenous Peoples (also referred to as First Peoples, Aboriginal Peoples, or Native Peoples) are those that inhabited a country or region before the arrival of people of different cultures or ethnic origins, and are found across the globe in 90 countries.
Food
Books in this genre can relate to the origins, history, culture, science, or critique of food and drink, or techniques related to preparation and/or cooking food and drink.

As usual, your inspiration lists have me scribbling down a bunch of new-to-me titles. I hope I will be able to find A Course Called America, Indigenous Cultures, and Wayfinders.
