Conversations Around the Fire with Sam Anglin: The Spirit Foods of Our Ancestors

Izaak Walton League MI 5641 Myers Lake Rd, Belmont MI 49306
Join us at the Izaak Walton League for a unique afternoon experience. Under the direction of Chef Sam Anglin, participants will help cook traditional Indigenous foods around the fire, listen to stories, eat, and consider our relationship with the natural world. The menu will feature traditional, Indigenous foods, such as manoomin (wild rice) and mandaamin (ash-leached corn), and will be supplemented with foraged ingredients donated by participants.  All donations are being coordinated by Lea of Joyful Wildcrafting. While not required, we invite attendees to bring something to contribute to the menu. We’ll need everything from wild game proteins, to wild spring greens, to wild seasonings, to foraged sweeteners. Participants are invited to forage with Lea on Sunday, April 27 at 2pm for items to contribute (location TBD). On the day of this outdoor event, bring donation ingredients, your own table-serving, including utensils and cups, and a willingness to work together to prepare the meal, while learning from Sam about the sacred ingredients manoomin and mandaamin. Space is limited. Follow these steps to purchase tickets:
