Many tribal elders fondly remember how their happiest times are ones where they gathered and prepared native foods with friends and family. This remarkable cookbook gathers know-how and culinary traditions surrounding 15 of the most beloved native foods of the Salish Sea region-foods that brought health to our Ancestors for millenia-and offers them to readers of all experience levels in an accessible blend of rich information and easy-to-follow recipes. A traditional Salish Diet includes many types of fish, wild game, berries, roots, bulbs, nuts, and seeds. Background about each plant or animal-including seasonality and harvesting tips-is paired with delicious recipes that highlight nutrition and wellness information, making this a valuable resource both for curious beginners and for seasoned chefs and harvesters. Filled with vibrant photographs and beautiful artwork by Salish artists, Feeding 7 Generations will help you to taste the seasons and develop a closer relationship with the culture and the land.

Many Native Elders remind us that plants are teachers. When we awaken our senses and observe nature, plants can lead us in finding ways to be healthy and resilient. For example, alder demonstrates how to collaborate with other species to build a healthy forest community. Yarrow reminds us of the importance of boundaries, while willow shows us how to be flexible yet strong. These skills can be applied to our lives—helping us to build greater wellbeing.Plant Teachings Book:\nThis new book is part of a toolkit developed through a partnership between GRuB, Northwest Indian Treatment Center, and the Seattle Indian Health Board.
