Friday, August 9 5 p.m. | Tinsley House $75/person Registration is required at museumoftherockies.org/calendar Indigenous foods are the traditional foods of Native North Americans, which were cultivated and harvested for generations. Unfortunately, many of these foods were intentionally removed from our diets during colonial times. However, Mariah Gladstone is leading a food movement to revive these important foods and incorporate them into modern diets. In a cooking class led by Mariah Gladstone, you can learn to harvest, prepare, and enjoy a full meal of authentic 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.
