Thursdays, 2-3:50 p.m.
Requires attendance to music performance at PRAx<\/a>\u00a0– Saturday\u00a0May 4th, 7:00 p.m.
This class will examine how food, history, society, and culture are intertwined. For many, seafood provides calories and nutrients, with seafood comprising 17% of the world\u2019s protein intake. More importantly, though, for many peoples around the world, fish and the act of fishing go well beyond mere sustenance, providing connections to the natural world, a sense of place and community, and an identity. Through multiple experiences, group conversation, and individual discovery we will learn about Indigenous peoples\u2019 identity and attachment to water and fish through an exploration of culture, music, and history, and discuss how history, culture, and identity are altered in the face of modern problems. This class will center both on Pacific Northwest Indigenous peoples and the music of Okaijda Afroso, a Ghanaian musician whose Jaku Mumor focuses on the Go-Dangme fishermen of Ghana. Class includes a live performance by Okaijda Afroso at PRAx on Saturday, May 4, 2024 and a class visit by the guest artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\nScholarship & Financial Aid Opportunities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
