Ancient Ingredients with Modern Innovation: Reimagining Indigenous Foodways through Entrepreneurship

Step into a conversation where ancestral tradition meets modern innovation. Chef Brave Heart invites you to explore how Indigenous food traditions rooted in land, culture, and heritage can inspire new ideas in entrepreneurship and reshape how we grow, prepare, and share food. Through stories, recipes, and lived experience, she will reveal how tradition can evolve without losing its essence, how time-honored ingredients can spark business innovation, and how generational wisdom can inform today’s food systems and markets. This session is a journey through flavor, memory, and imagination that honors the past while creating space for future-focused thinking, sustainable practices, and entrepreneurial growth for generations to come.
