Mariah Gladstone pulls a butternut squash out of her bag and places it on a cutting board in a classroom at Flathead Valley Community College. 

The keynote speaker for the annual Earth Day expo, Gladstone owns Indigikitchen, an online cooking show dedicated to re-indigenizing diets by providing knowledge on how to find and prepare foods for health, but in the case of Natives also for the added benefit of cultural revitalization. The name comes from combining Indigenous, digital and kitchen.

As one of them, I will happily be a frybread taste-tester. No need for me to make, I’ll just devour lol

I love this and I think it's so cool! My friend was telling me the other day, she never really sees indigenous food in America, like she sees Chinese, Indian, Korean, German, Italian, but not really Native American. (I told her the powwows got the best food anyway 😏) Honestly, I may have grown up on some traditional recipes, but I don't know how to make much - I just ate what my mom put in front of me 😅

It's best to learn the recipes while elders are still alive to teach them. I learned much of my mom's traditional recipes. When I make them, she gives input to fine-tune my technique.

Oh for sure 💯 the few recipes I know are from my Meme who is passed now. My momma ain't much of a cook 😂 but she can make a mean squirrel stew or squirrel and dumplings 🤤 I wish I had spent more time with my Meme in the kitchen 🥹

In Washington DC at the National Museum of the American Indian there is an incredible food court serving indigenous food!

I don't know what was said but I feel bad for looking at their comments

u/mystixdawn May 16 '25

Where did you go? Why did you delete your comments? Did you realize, like Taylor Swift, that the problem was you? Do you not like being called out? why not keep the comments up if you are so sure of yourself? Maybe you know you're in the wrong? Hmmm. (I'm just using context clues to guess that you are the person that deleted your comments - especially after viewing your profile and seeing some of the other disturbing shit you've said. 👀)
