Meet our guest speaker and chef, Destiny Moser

As part of this event, Chef Destiny Moser, founder and executive chef at Cedar Spoon Indigenous Catering will talk about food sovereignty.

Guests will get to hear from Chef Destiny while enjoying sample sizes of some Indigenous Cuisine:

  • Bison Three Sister Chili and
  • Wild Rice Salad

“Food has become my path to reconciliation and a way for me to heal, show my emotions and passions. Food is holistic, it’s medicine. One of the best places to listen and learn is to break bread together and I’m excited to do that with you!”
– Chef Destiny

What is The Landed Buggy Art Exhibit? 

The intention behind the art exhibit is to encourage viewers to consider their historical connection to the land and to better understand the connections to the land that Indigenous Peoples have had since time immemorial. 

Rockway students will have the privilege of having the buggy in the school from March 20-31. One of the artists, Hereditary Onondaga Chief, Arnold Jacobs, will be speaking in chapel on March 21. Our hope is that the exhibit, Chief Jacobs and our follow up conversations, help us as a school community to go deeper into our journey of understanding Indigenous worldviews.
