Bison is on the menu in all 50 states — and this week we’re spotlighting California!
Chef , a leader in Indigenous food sovereignty and owner of Wahpepah's Kitchen (the first Native woman‑owned restaurant in Northern California), is currently touring the country for her new book, "A Feather and a Fork".
She’s cooked for the White House, competed on Food Network, earned a James Beard nomination, and continues to champion Indigenous foodways with heart and brilliance.
Crystal generously shared her Blueberry Bison Meatballs recipe with us — and trust us, you’ll want to try it. (Links below!)
