Artist Receptions are back! Meet artists from Trickster Cultural Center.
The September reception will also feature Medicine Berry Mousse Cups and Blueberry Bison Tamale prepared by Chef Jessica of Ketapanen Kitchen. Chef Jessica explains, "Ketapanen is an expression of Love in the Menominee language. So it seemed fitting to use it as the name of my kitchen. Ketapanen Kitchen: Where Food Is Love…Many people have no idea what Native American/Indigenous food is. They don’t realize how many of the foods in our current food chain are contributions from the Indigenous people of these lands. My goal is not only to serve amazing food but also to educate people about those contributions."
