Native America Calling

March 31 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am

Today, March 31 – The Menu: Restored fishing and hunting rights, adorable lamprey, and Provo’s new Continental

The Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians in western Oregon signed away their subsistence hunting and fishing rights in exchange for federal recognition in 1980. Now, after years of work, those rights are fully restored, opening up a rich store of traditional food for tribal members.

Author Brook Thompson was inspired to write her children’s book, I Love Salmon and Lampreys, after witnessing a salmon kill in the Klamath River in 2002. Her book, illustrated by Anastasia Khmelevska, is an approachable story about environmental stewardship.

Indigenous chef and restaurateur Bleu Adams reimagines American cuisine at her new eatery, The Continental, in Provo, Utah, “celebrating the land, the seasons, and the stories that shape us.”

GUESTS

Brook Thompson (Yurok and Karuk), author, civil engineer, activist, artist, and full-time Ph.D. student at the University of California, Santa Cruz in environmental studies
