Openings: New burrito shop + Native American comfort food popup
Indigenous Eats popups
Spokane’s Indigenous Eats will dish up fry bread and other Native American comfort foods at two popup events on Friday and Saturday.
The Indigenous Eats trailer will be at the Yakamart from 11 a.m.-8 p.m., April 3, at 111 Fort Road Toppenish.
On April 4, it will be at the Medussa Taproom from 11 a.m.-8 p.m. at 5426 N. Road 68., Pasco.
The trailer will serve a limited menu featuring Indigenous Eats most popular items, including Indian tacos, fry bread and huckleberry sauce.
“We’ve been wanting to bring Indigenous Eats beyond our walls and into more communities, said Jenny Slagle, co-owner and an enrolled member of the Yakama Nation.
She said the popups are about sharing food, culture and creating gathering spaces.
Jenny and Andrew Slagle established Indigenous Eats in Spokane. Its food trailer allows it to participate in community events, reach new audiences and create economic opportunities by sharing Native food traditions in an engaging way.
It was financed by the Nimiipuu Community Development Fund and a grant from the Northwest Native Chamber.
