"A nonprofit culinary incubator and educational hub based in Midtown Global Market in Minneapolis that documents and teaches Indigenous food traditions from over 150 communities. It hires Indigenous staff to experiment in a test kitchen with ancestral techniques and ingredients (for example, using acorn flour as a chocolate substitute), produces educational materials for all ages, sells native products through an onsite market, and offers hands-on business support to Native chefs—from menu development to designing food trucks. Founded in 2018 after its leaders were inspired by Scandinavian folk schools, the organization shifted into food access during the pandemic (cooking and distributing more than 80,000 meals to elders) and has trained and mentored dozens of Indigenous chefs while aiming to preserve and share both historical and contemporary Indigenous culinary innovation." - ByBon Appétit Staff & Contributors
