[MPWG] Visiting Victoria on Feb. 19...

[Melissa Poe]

Dear Rachel and other plants people:

If you have any flexibility with your dates, please consider coming to the
Pacific Northwest/Coast Salish region toward the end of March. There is a
Traditional Food Summit being held in Seattle, WA. First Nations (from BC),
American Indian, and Alaska Native communities will be teaming up with
applied anthropologists and land managers to discuss the cultural and
natural resources issues surrounding traditional foods. More info about the
Summit and registration can be found here:

Cheers,
Melissa
