Join Mariana Harvey and Itsa Shash for an evening of poetry, songs, and stories that reflect the unique communities they come from. Through their words and songs, they will provide a foundation to spark conversation on the the importance of honoring and knowing who you are, where you come from, and where you’re going.

She is deeply passionate about native foods and medicines and the rich cultural traditions that surround them. She is the Traditional Plants Program Coordinator at GRuB, a mother and a proud member of the Yakama Nation.
