“The Muckleshoot Tribe is spreading traditional food through schools” | NWIFC

As someone who can attest to the power of elementary school lunch as a defining aspect of my K-6 experience, this is such an excellent program. In the Pacific Northwest, The Muckleshoot Tribe is introducing traditional foods into the school lunch program– salmon, halibut, and other seafoods (and occasionally also venison and elk) are back on the menu, and changing the way young students think about their tribe’s traditional fare.
