Vancouver-based Métis reporter Jackie McKay knew she had found the person to take her on a food journey when she connected with Deb Crow. Crow, who is from the Syilx Nation and a member of the Lower Similkameen Indian Band, teaches anyone who is willing to listen how to can salmon. Along with sharing the traditional story of how humans were supported by food chiefs, she taught McKay about her people’s connection to the fish and why it’s so important to support them into the future.

“When I was growing up I didn’t have anybody to pass down recipes to me the way Deb taught me how to can salmon and that was because you can’t pass down what was taken from you,” said McKay.

“I think that’s why the salmon in the Okanagan is so important to people like Deb, so she is able to teach, not only her family but other youth in her community and people like me how to do these things she grew up doing.”
