ARLEE — Former “Fry Bread Queen” Shelly Fyant is hosting a “Healing the Jocko Valley” food sovereignty project along with Salish Cultural Practitioner Arleen Adams with a message that food is sacred, and it’s medicine.
The food project is scheduled for Wednesday, April 20, at 6 p.m. in the Arlee Community Center on Pow Wow Road. Events include dinner, a recipe give away, health information, and a drawing for prizes.
At the event, folks can get their blood sugar and blood pressure checked. Gardening information from development to seed planting will be available. Participants can learn about what it’s like to see through the eyes of an eagle, and then sign up for the upcoming Bitterroot dig fieldtrip. People can also check out the community garden, greenhouse, dry meat racks, Camas baking pit, and tepee storytelling area.
The event is sponsored by the CSKT Environmental Protection Division with a First Nations Development Institute grant and the Arlee Farmers Market with a Partnership for Native Americans grant. For more information, contact Shelly Fyant at 406-546-5633.
