Rockway is excited to be partnering with the Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) Indigenous Neighbours Program to bring The Landed Buggy Art Exhibit to our school in an event that combines The Landed Buggy with Indigenous Cuisine food samples.
All are welcome to attend “Bison and a Buggy” on Wednesday, March 29 from 7 – 9 pm at Rockway. The event is free and open to all, however donations are appreciated.
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:
“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
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.
