Event Details

The food we eat, beyond nourishing our bodies, can provide us a path to connection with our ancestors and their traditional practices through time and space. Join the Sutro Library for a free virtual talk with Karuk food writer Sara Calvosa Olson on Wednesday, January 22nd at 6 pm to learn about her work with native California foodways and their relationship to culture, kinship and land. Whether you’d like to decolonize your diet or incorporate traditional food practices into your genealogy research, this talk will provide valuable insight.

Sara Calvosa Olson (Karuk) is a food writer and author living on Huiman Coast Miwok Land. She is the author of Chími Nu’am: Native California Foodways for the Contemporary Kitchen (Heyday). Her work dwells at the intersection of storytelling, Indigenous food systems, security, sovereignty, reconnection, and recipe development. With an interest in using both culturally sound & faithfully updated techniques honoring traditional plants and animals, her cooking inspires a new look at the oldest foods in California.
