SMOKE ON THE PLATEAU
an indigenous LAND-to-fork dinner experience.
Founded by kelsie kilawna (Marchand), a Rez girl raised by grandmas, aunties, and a fiercely supportive father, and the kind of kitchen-table teachings that live in your bones.
Smoke on the Plateau is not only catering, it’s a living enactment of sqilx’w food governance, where every dish carries the teachings of our Four Food Chiefs, skimxist (Black Bear), spitlem (Bitterroot), siya (Saskatoon), and ntytyix (Salmon). We don't engage with our Four Food Chiefs as an ingredient; they’re our leaders, our guides, and our oldest agreements with the land.
This land-to-fork food, smoke & stories experience includes:
An opening story hour with Kelsie Kilawna.
3 course meal - accompanied by sqilx’w food governance stories.
Curated non-alcoholic, functional ingredients drink pairings with each course.
Intimate “eating-with strangers” experience.
