Learn more about the Coast Salish food systems

LOGOThose interested in Native American history will be happy to learn more about the Coast Salish at an event called “Coast Salish Feast “ from 12:30 to 1:30 on Nov. 19 at the Whatcom Museum. It is located at Old City Hall at 121 Prospect St. in Bellingham.
For countless generations Native Americans have stewarded the rich and diverse ecosystems surrounding the Salish Sea. Join Ethnobotanist T. Abe Lloyd as he explores the resiliency of indigenous food systems—ranging from as high as a mountain goat can climb to as deep as a halibut can dive.
Lloyd is an instructor at Western Washington University and Whatcom Community College as well as the director of Salal, the Cascadian Food Institute, where he works to promote indigenous foods.
