ALL MY RELATIONS

In honour of June being National Indigenous Peoples Month, our Head Chef Darrel Ahenakew is digging deep into indigenous culinary history to showcase this fresh-sheet weekend feature available only while it lasts:

𝗪𝗜𝗟𝗗 𝗕𝗢𝗔𝗥 𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗟𝗗𝗘𝗥
𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗮𝘀𝗵-𝗿𝘂𝗯𝗯𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝟰𝟴 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗽𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗵𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗼𝗰𝗵𝗲, 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗿𝗼𝗼𝘁 𝘃𝗲𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀, 𝗯𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗴𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲

Of Plains Cree descent, Darrel grew up near Sandy Lake, on Treaty 6 territory in Northern ‘Saskatchewan’ and developed a passion for cooking that led him to pursue the culinary arts as a career.

And we’re proud to have his talent leading and mentoring our kitchen team.

NEXT WEEK ON QUEERFM we chat with this beautiful #twospirit person guaranteed to make you fall in love…

"On Marjorie Beaucage’s 70th birthday, she took part in a ceremony burning all of her journals. Her new book is what remains.."

Marjorie Beaucage (she/her) is a Two-Spirit Métis Auntie, acclaimed filmmaker, art-ivist and educator, land protector and a water walker.

Born in Vassar, Manitoba, to a large Métis family, Marjorie’s life’s work has been about creating social change.

She has been a Grandmother for Walking With Our Sisters; the Elder for OUT Saskatoon; and the Elder-In-Residence for the Univ. of Saskatchewan Student Union.

As a current Board Member of Chokecherry Studios, she is giving back to future art-ivists as they stand up for themselves and their community through creating art, music and writing. She just finished six short harm-reduction videos “Reducing The Harms of Colonization” for creating possibilities of wellness with story medicine.

Her poetic memoir, “leave some for the birds” is filled with wise and poignant reflections on her life. leave some for the birds is based on seven decades of living and seeking justice as a Two Spirit, Michif woman. With its poems, poetic observations and thoughtful meanderings, the book reads as a journal-memoir-poetry collection, unfolding the experiences and wisdom of a woman who has dedicated much of her life and talent to creating social change.
leave some for the birds is a reflection on a life dedicated to justice.

The book is available via Kegedonce Press, Amazon, Indigo and your local bookstore. You can find Marjorie on Insta at @marjoriebeaucage or visit kagedoncepress.com

Tune in Tuesday, August 22nd (repeats Friday, Aug 25th) at 8am PST• 11am EST (and 4pm GMT for our overseas listeners) to @queerfmvan with hosts @djdenise35 and @megamouthmedia bringing weekly queer culture, news and music into the earholes of the world!
