90-Day Native

LAST DAY: SEPTEMBER 20th 〰️
The challenge!
I'm Mary Goddard, an Alaska Native producer, forager, and storyteller. I’m setting out to eat only Alaska Native food for 90 days—and to document the entire experience. This means I will be eating what I have with the help of others foraged, fished or hunted for. This also means no food, sugar, flour, alcohol or even spices from the grocery store. This journey is about honoring traditional foodways, exploring food sovereignty, and sharing how Indigenous knowledge can thrive in the present day. I am also deeply curious about the health benefits this lifestyle offers, from physical health to mental and spiritual health.
