Currently showing SALISH BOUNTY!
When you look out your window, have you ever wondered what you can eat from your garden?
The Pacific Northwest is a treasure trove of native edible plants (and animals). Salish Bounty explores the many forms of food used by Native Americans before Europeans settled.
The exhibit also discusses the importance of tradition surrounding native foods and how those traditions changed with forced relocation and cultural changes.
The exhibit also looks at the local Nooksack people's and discusses their special traditions, unique to their community, and the changes forced upon them in the last 150 years.
This exhibit is a must see and has many treasures to view such (and smell). See a digging stick, salmon bar-b-queuing tools, gathering baskets and many other special items used for food eating, gathering and storage.
Special thank you to the Burke museum for Loaning us the exhibit and to Humanities Washington for sponsoring the exhibit.
Be sure to stay tuned for upcoming presenters and events that will tickle your tastebuds.
