Our team of indigenous chefs will offer a diverse palate of the flavors of indigenous resilience in this 7 course meal, which honors the traditional trade routes and life sustaining wild and cultivated foods of many different indigenous communities of North America. In addition to the culinary treasures featured, each course will be paired with ethnobotanical storytelling of the unique regional Indigenous foods and stories and songs from the Warm Springs Tribe of Oregon.
Diners will come away feeling a renewed and profound respect for the earth and the important role indigenous ancestral stewards played in the health of their people and the land they depended upon. They will become steeped in the flavors of resilience, with the deeply storied foods of this Turtle Island, which is nourishing a diverse and unique movement in contemporary Native American food culture.
