"A Traditional Nisga'a Dinner" with Teresa Mark

Salmon is unquestionably BC's most important fish. For the Nisga'a and all Westcoast First Nations, salmon is a mainstay in their diet and a critical food in maintaining First Nations' culture. Teresa Mark shares with us her love of cooking and a traditional Nisga'a meal with salmon, smoked salmon, bannock, veggies, and wild rice. Absolutely delicious.
