Description

One of our favourite sessions at the 2020 Festival, Cooking with Annita is the opportunity to learn a favorite Indigenous dish from a former three-term president of the Tahltan Nation in British Columbia, and a National Native Role Model. Annita grew up in her village of Telegraph Creek learning traditional Indigenous cooking and harvesting from her mom and aunties: snaring rabbits, cooking moose, picking berries and fishing with her family. She is deeply passionate about educating people about sustainable food supply, and preserving culture through Indigenous culinary experiences. Learn more, discover a favourite new recipe, and enjoy a heartful demonstration.
