Guest: Christine Lewis - Owner, Bannock Slap Indigenous Soul Food

Christine Lewis was born in Whitehorse, Yukon. She is Northern Tutchone, and part Tlingit from the Wolf Clan. Christine is a Kwanlin Dün citizen and beneficiary. Christine is the owner of Bannock Slap Indigenous Soul Food - she sells bannock and stew, bannock burger and her signature bannock slap. For the past four years, Christine has delved into cooking and has developed a deep passion for food. Today, she is committed to bringing her love of food to the people of the Yukon. After living away from the Yukon for a long time, Christine has been back for over five years, and during this time she has learned a lot about harvesting from the land, as well as colonization and genocide. Her goal is to move forward with thoughts and prayers and to be the change she wants to see, starting with her business.
