Native America Calling

Today, January 11 – Celebrating Indigenous women chefs

A restaurant kitchen can be an intimidating place. Women, especially, complain about abuse or misdirected anger they’ve had to endure in the mostly male-dominated industry. One Indigenous chef started her own catering company after witnessing physical violence at work. Another was told women were only good for making pastries. An upcoming webinar aims to celebrate the accomplishments of Indigenous women chefs, who turn to cultural values and healing while nourishing people with food and knowledge. We’ll hear about how they are carving a space for themselves and an alternative to toxic work environments.
