Thank you for this! I live in Montana, a state with some incredible Indigenous food historians and food writers/activists (Mariah Gladstone is one). I follow their work and have done a lot of reading/research around local Indigenous food history, as well as the food history of people who immigrated here to work in the copper mines, on the railroads, and on farms. There’s a still a real sense here in the West (among white people) of things being “new.” It erases the long history of BIPOC people in the area.
