The event takes place from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 16 in the Eatery of the Towers Complex.
Attendees may create and enjoy their own indigenous food bowl. Anglin, is passionate and knowledgeable about ancestral Native American cuisine.

“I personally feel students learn to appreciate other cultures through food," Green said "There will be a food demonstration and interactive opportunities to discuss how Indigenous food shaped our culture and community.”
Admission is $12.25 but students with a meal plan can use a meal pass instead.
If they don’t have a meal plan or pass, WCMU has pre-purchased a few tickets.
