Weston A Price Foundation, NYC Chapters invite you to

Traditional Foods & Life Ways of Alaskan Inuit – with Willow Q. Jones
and social following

Join us as Willow Q. Jones takes us to isolated villages in Northwestern Alaska where she grew up, similar to those Weston A Price visited almost 100 years ago. Through her mother's timeless images she is able to offer a rare view of the foods, medicines, and life ways of a traditional culture at the brink of dramatic cultural and dietary changes. She also speaks with respect, sadness, and hope of the current issues facing the Inuit people of this region today, and offers us insight into the wisdom these northern people hold for our health and wellness today.

Willow Q. Jones was born and raised near the Chuckchi Sea in Northwestern Alaska, where hunting and gathering, fishing, camping, and dog mushing were daily tasks. Her parents personal interest and study of Inuit culture and foods gave her a rare insight and belonging to a culture not her own. Employed for many years as a naturalist/guide in Alaska and more recently in organic agriculture and farmers market management in central California. Willow currently resides in upstate New York where she continues to connect to the land through hunting, gathering, or bartering for local foods.
