Explore the Traditional Food staple of California Native Peoples, pre-contact. We’ll learn traditional ways of gathering & processing Acorn into a sustainable food source for 10's of thousands of years. I attempt to match the regional language of the school's Indigenous People's, pertaining to the word for acorn, acorn meal, & specific tools. As a Native cultural Person & practitioner I was taught by my elders how to prepare Acorn or "ooti" as a child & now pass on that lesson.
