Share Description
ƛ̕ əw’cen Mackenzie Grinnell is a Jamestown S’Klallam Tribal citizen from the Prince Family. While at university he started making cider with his best friend, each year making exponentially more and always gleaning apples from trees that would otherwise go unpicked. Moving home he began working in the Traditional Foods and Culture Program at Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe. He learns from his elders and youth alike about his traditional foods and passes those traditions on to his community in any way he can. Through helping bring folks together over cider to discuss and plan how to make his community more welcoming and inclusive, to gathering around a dinner table filled with his traditional foods and listening to stories from his community, ƛ̕ əw’cen Mackenzie has been searching for a way to belong and to build his community.
Join us in listening to ƛ̕ əw’cen Mackenzie as he shares his perspective on what it means to belong to this land and community. Bring your enthusiasm for the place we all live and call home. This will be an evening of juxtaposition and fallacies but hopefully we can all walk away with more curiosity and a sense of agency to make our community a place we can all belong.
