Traditional Foods & Life Ways of Alaskan Inuit - with Willow Q. Jones
Traditional Foods & Life Ways of Alaskan Inuit - with Willow Q. Jones -Tues. Feb. 28th, 7-9
Join us as Willow Q. Jones takes us to isolated villages in Northwestern Alaska where she grew up, similar to those Weston A Price visited almost 100 years ago. Through her mother's timeless images she is able to offer a rare view of the foods, medicines and life ways of a traditional culture at the brink of dramatic cultural and dietary changes. She also speaks with respect, sadness, and hope of the current issues facing the Inuit people of this region today, and offers us insight into the wisdom these northen people hold for our health and wellness today.

AFTER TALK SOCIAL! Please join us for an after talk social at Jimmy's side room ( non-attendees welcome then as well)

Her parents personal interest and study of Inuit culture and foods gave her a rare insight and belonging to a culture not her own. Employed for many years as a naturalist/guide in Alaska and more recently in organic agriculture and farmers market management in central California. Willow currently resides in upstate New York where she continues to connect to the land through hunting, gathering, or bartering for local foods.
