Join us on November 18, 2024 at 7 PM at Grays Hall Lower Level, for a cooking demo and dinner with James-Beard Award winning chef, Sherry Pocknett. This is a program co-sponsored by the Harvard Foundation for Intercultural and Race Relations, the Harvard University Native American Program, and the Committee on Ethnicity, Migration, Rights.
About the chef:
Chef Sherry was born and raised in Mashpee to the Wampanoag tribe. She embodies a rich heritage of Indigenous cuisine and New England cooking. Her parents, Bernadine and Edward Pocknett, instilled in her a deep love for food and education, passing down traditions of hunting, fishing, and foraging. From an early age, Chef Sherry cultivated her culinary skills, launching Sly Fox Den catering business, where she shared traditional Wampanoag food up and down the East Coast. Committed to cultural preservation, she initiated youth cultural classes, engaging over 100 kids in hands-on l learning. As demand soared, Sly Fox Den became a hub for Indigenous food and education, catering to schools, powwows, universities, and museums.
