About this listen

In this fabulous episode, Barb shares the Food Stories kitchen table with Metis speculative fiction writer, Lareina Abbott. Lareina pens Métis themed spec fiction, essays and memoir. A year ago, she received a Calgary Arts Development Grant to write a memoir about reconnecting with her Métis family and the story of her aunt who is a Métis elder. She received the 2023 Howard O’Hagan Short Story award for her short story “Ma Soeur Marie” published in the Prairie Witch Anthology, and was a member of the 2023 Audible Indigenous Writers Circle. She originates from a cattle ranch in northern British Columbia but currently lives and writes in Calgary on Métis Local 87 and Treaty 7 territory. You can find Lariena and her incredible work at @boneblackstories

Lareina has pointed us toward this valuable resource for Metis recipes. To give proper credit, we have the link here and want to acknowledge the wisdom of generations of cooks who have created these recipes over time.
