The Decolonized Kitchen is a gathering for anyone looking to learn in community about Indigenous foodways, ethnobotany, and cooking! Join Maribel for an hour of connection and reclamation while you learn about our native plant relatives one recipe at a time. This session involves discussion, a presentation and a cook along. Come prepared to take notes and share your insights, stories and wisdom with others. Hasta pronto!
