Traditional Pit Cook
Recently the SIDFP had the opportunity to partner with the Victoria Division to host a Cultural Knowledge Sharing event — a Traditional Pit Cook on Saturday August 23rd.
The day was guided by J.B. Williams, a Knowledge Holder, ethnobotanist and gifted storyteller from the SȾÁUTW̱ (Tsawout) and Ahousaht First Nations.
We had the opportunity to gather at Cordova Spit Beach on Tsawout First Nations — a place of beauty and peace! The invitation noted we would be sharing a hands-on, land-based learning experience rooted in the traditional foodways of the Coastal First Peoples. Everyone who attended was part of the experience and the message of working together was demonstrated. A great day to connect, learn and breath in the natural world.
