We chatted with Jenny Slagle of Indigenous Eats about the restaurant’s origins and what the future holds.

“I love finding ways to make sure that heart is there and that it truly reflects whomever the ultimate storyteller is.”

“I say all the time that I am not self-made, I’m ‘community-made.’”

“Building a successful business or organization that people are enthusiastic to work for and the community wants to support means approaching organizational culture from a place of reflection and intention.”

“I really see myself as a storyteller. I’m always reading people and I pull a lot from my senses, really everything is telling a story.”
