Join Vanessa in making an autumn Squash Bread using Seminole squash, a sweet and bright flavored squash, along with maple and coconut sugar. This versatile recipe can also be made using butternut squash, acorn squash, or another similarly flavored squash in place of Seminole. Vanessa will also show you how to swap out other ingredients based on what you have available in your pantry and what works with your budget.

2024 marks the fourth year of the Indigenous Foods Class Series, a program developed through Seward Co-op’s long-term partnership with Dream of Wild Health, one of the oldest and longest operating Native American-led and focused nonprofits in the Twin Cities.

Our collaboration with Dream of Wild Health includes our partnership with the Indigenous Food Network (IFN), a collaborative of Nativeled community organizations in Minneapolis who are working together to rebuild a sovereign food system.

By hosting this annual class series every November, we honor our relationship with Dream of Wild Health and the Indigenous Food Network, and are proud to support IFN in their goal of creating a Native American urban model for food sovereignty.
