Workshops
Native Tea Time Workshop With Mariah Gladstone, Piikuni (Blackfeet) and Tsalagi (Cherokee)
Connections Across the Generations
Friday, November 8th, 2024 – 12:45 – 2:15 pm MT – The Joe Rovere | Minnilusa Pioneer Room
For thousands of years, Indigenous people have hunted, fished, farmed and foraged for food on this continent. Mariah practices many of those traditions today and teaches others how to incorporate indigenous foods into their contemporary diets. She will bring a variety of plants she has grown and foraged that have traditionally been used to make tea, such as cedar, yarrow and mint. She will make some teas for participants to sample, then work with them to create their own personalized teas to take home. Throughout this hands-on workshop, Mariah will also discuss traditional Native foodways, changes that took place with colonization, and what is happening with the Indigenous Food Movement today.
Registration required, limited to 30 attendees.
Flower Arranging Workshop: Spiced Pumpkin Fall Bouquet
Partake in this hands-on floral design class and create a fall centerpiece featuring a fresh pumpkin and dried flowers. Participants will make the arrangement during the workshop, which will be put on display during the second day of the conference. Participants can take their bouquets home after the conference! Space is limited to the first 20 people who register.
Jenny Behlings trained in floral design and greenhouse management at the University of Minnesota – Waseca then owned and operated a flower shop in Custer, SD for 35 years. She is certified through the American Institute of Floral Design and the Society of American Florists. She has designed at the White House; for national, state, and local events; and many, many weddings!
