Community Conversation with Chef Francisco Alegria

Indigenous Knowledge Pathways and Food Sovereignty: A Cooking Demonstration

Thursday, May 22 | 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m.
Esch Hurvis Center for Spiritual and Religious Life

In this cooking demonstration, Chef Francisco Alegria uses the wisdom passed down to him from his Menominee elders to honor indigenous food sovereignty. 

Through this demonstration and conversation, we will learn about decolonial indigenous cooking practices. Those in attendance can participate in the cooking, eat, and be in fellowship with others during this time.

Francisco Alegria is a trained Japanese Hibachi chef. He grew up on the Menominee Reservation and has cooked for the Biden Administration, among many others.
