Indigikitchen Cooking Class: A Recipe for Resilience

Saturday, August 10 5 p.m.| Tinsley House $75/person Registration is required at museumoftherockies.org/calendar Indigenous lifestyles have been resilient over the years, and one way to celebrate this is by incorporating locally harvested pre-contact foods into modern kitchens. Unfortunately, many native North American foods, both cultivated and harvested, were removed from our diets through intentional colonial efforts. Mariah Gladstone is at the forefront of a food movement that aims to revitalize and reintroduce these important foods into our contemporary diets. Through a brief presentation on Indigenous food systems and the relationship between cultural identity, health, and native plants and animals, participants will harvest, prepare, and enjoy a full meal of original indigenous recipes. Mariah Gladstone, Piikuni (Blackfeet) and Tsalagi (Cherokee), grew up in Northwest Montana on and near the Blackfeet Reservation. She graduated from Columbia University with a degree in Environmental Engineering and returned home, where she began her work on food advocacy. She developed Indigikitchen, an online cooking platform, to revitalize and re-imagine Native foods. She then earned a master’s at SUNY-ESF in the Center for Native Peoples and the Environment. Mariah has been recognized as a Luce Indigenous Knowledge Fellow. She has shared the importance of reconnecting to traditional foods at events throughout North America and abroad, as well as through appearances on the Today Show, CBC, and more. In addition to all this, Mariah spends her summers on the Blackfeet homelands providing a variety of cultural experiences to visitors in and around Glacier Park.
