Join us for Part Two of our Indigenous Voices series!
🗓️ Saturday, November 14, 6:30–8:00pm
📍 Telegraph Hill Books, 1501 Grant Ave, San Francisco
We're thrilled to welcome Sara Calvosa Olson (Karuk), food writer and editor whose work explores Indigenous food systems, sovereignty, and reconnection, and author of Chími Nu'am — alongside Chef Crystal Wahpepah (Kickapoo Tribe of Oklahoma), founder of Wahpepah's Kitchen, Northern California's first Native woman-owned restaurant, and author of the debut cookbook A Feather and a Fork.
Free to attend — RSVP required to reserve your seat.
Presented in partnership with Heyday, in celebration of Native American Heritage Month.
Sara Calvosa Olson (Karuk) is a food writer and editor living in the Bay Area with her husband and two teenage sons. Her work dwells at the intersection of storytelling, Indigenous food systems, security, sovereignty, reconnection, and recipe development. Her writing has appeared in News from Native California and Edible Shasta-Butte. Visit her website at akihsara.com, and follow her on Instagram at @thefrybreadriot.
Chef Crystal Wahpepah, a registered member of the Kickapoo Tribe of Oklahoma, has long been a warrior for Indigenous food sovereignty. She is the creative tour de force behind the inventive, healthy, and delicious dishes served at her restaurant, Wahpepah’s Kitchen, in Oakland, California—the first Native woman-owned restaurant in Northern California.
If Crystal is not at her Oakland, California restaurant, Wahpepah’s Kitchen, she is on the road, talking about Native American foodways, advocating for Indigenous food sovereignty, and celebrating the launch of her debut cookbook, “A Feather and a Fork.”
