“This Toolkit is an educational resource featuring important native foods in Salish Country
and the rich cultural traditions that surround them. The foods were selected because of
their high nutritional value, cultural significance, and reasonable availability. The toolkit
includes:
• A cedar bentwood box, cooking tongs, cooking rocks, display containers, teaching
cards and preserved samples of 13 native foods.
• Videos about foods and food traditions that feature native storytellers.
• A curriculum including Salish food descriptions, recipes, stories and activities.
• A Feeding 7 Generations poster.
• A Feeding 7 Generations recipe book.
Educators can use the cedar box toolkit in a variety of settings including classrooms,
community workshops and other educational events. Possible presentation formats
include a “show and tell” overview of Salish foods, an exhibit, or a complete curriculum
for teaching in depth classes on individual foods.”
