Learn about Pemmican and what it takes to make it with North Waters Wildcraft

Apr 21, 2026 | 4:22 PM

Pemmican is one of the oldest and most resilient traditional foods in North America, and North Waters Wildcraft is helping keep that knowledge alive right here in northern British Columbia. Long valued by Indigenous Peoples, pemmican is a high‑energy food traditionally made from dried meat, rendered fat, and sometimes berries, designed to last through long journeys and harsh conditions. Learn more about Pemmican and how to make it on the show, plus watch here for more opportunities for future workshops.
