Part 1 (January 27th, 2024): Platica y Prueba: Indigenous Veganism Series, Part 1: Remembering Mesoamerican Foodways, Food Principles and Seasonal Diets
This Platica provides a brief historical account of Mesoamerican Foodways, the dietary changes resulting in colonial encounters, and the Indigenous erasure and appropriation of those foodways while providing a decolonial and Indigenous ecofeminist critique towards remembering the value and importance of eating a local, ecological, sustainable organic and native based diet.
Part 2 (February 3, 2024): Indigenous Veganism Series, Part 2: Indigenizing Your Veganism with Mesoamerican Foods
This cooking class will provide quick, simple and effective ways to integrate indigenous plant-based foods into the making of cultural heritage and nutirient-dense comiditas (foods) for those on the go! We will make cashew cream, corn milk chia pudding, cream of quinoa, and Indigenous protien powders.
