NWC to host 29th Buffalo Feast Nov. 20

The Native Ways student club at Northwest College will be hosting the 29th annual Buffalo Feast Thursday, Nov. 20, at 6 p.m. in the Yellowstone Building Conference Center. The feast includes braised bison short ribs, Three Sisters soup, seasonal roasted vegetables, roasted beet salad with goat cheese mousse and berry soup.

This year’s featured speaker is Mariah Gladstone, Piikuni (Blackfeet) and Tsalagi (Cherokee), who grew up in northwest Montana. A graduate of Columbia University where she earned her degree in environmental engineering, Gladstone returned to Montana to begin her work with food advocacy. Her passion is revitalizing knowledge of traditional food systems and increasing access to healthy, culturally relevant foods. In 2016 she launched Indigikitchen, a web-based cooking show designed to teach viewers how to prepare modern, healthy meals using traditional indigenous ingredients.

Tickets are $30 for adults, $20 for children 12 and under, and $10 for NWC students. Those who wish to attend the event are encouraged to reserve tickets no later than November 13. To purchase tickets online, go to: nwc.edu/buffalo-feast.
