California State Parks Ranger and Naturalist Alex Tabone will lead the Indigenous Relationships with Coastal Prairie Plants Native Food Demonstration. This demonstration, hosted by the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History, will share how native people made food from the seeds of grassland plants, following the whole process from the coastal prairie to the dinner plate.

Accessibility

  • Bring a sharp knife if you can for preparation of our looped cooking sticks (we will have some available if you can’t)
  • This program will occur outside in the amphitheater behind the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History. There is a paved and accessible path down to the amphitheater, but to enter into the program space you will need to pass through some shallow steps/ledges.
