Join us at Claremont Branch for the Decolonized Kitchen, a gathering for anyone looking to learn in community about indigenous foodways, ethnobotany, and cooking! Join Maribel Garcia for an hour of connection and reclamation while we learn about our native plant relatives one recipe at a time through discussion, a presentation, and a cook along. Come prepared to take notes and share your insights, stories, and wisdom with others. Hasta pronto!
