More than Subsistence: How Anishinaabe Foodways Nourish Culture, Kinship, and Community Wellbeing

On Tuesday, December 5, 2023, Ashleigh Thompson (Archaeology Southwest) presented "More than Subsistence: How Anishinaabe Traditional Foodways Nourish Culture, Kinship, and Community Wellbeing" at The Loft Cinema and on Zoom. Her talk discussed how, across Indigenous country, Native people are revitalizing their traditional foods. Ashleigh explores the importance of traditional foods to her community-the Red Lake Ojibwe-and learns why these traditions are significant to culture, kinship, and community wellbeing.
This presentation was a part of Archaeology Southwest's Archaeology Café series. This eight-part series, from October to May, every first Tuesday at 6 pm (MST), is an informal forum that brings lifelong learners together with experts.
