“The Bannock House” keeping Indigenous food, and traditions, alive in Regina’s North Central By Josh Sigurdson Jun 30, 2021 | 2:40 PM Today, June 30th, is “A Day to Listen”, a day to learn and listen to Indigenous Peoples in our community. The Bannock House was a community staple before closing its doors last year, but that hasn’t stopped owner Pamela Carpenter from feeding the community in her food truck. Carpenter says the truck is filling a need in the “food desert” that is the North Central. She adds it important to provide the community with Indigenous food options. “I think it’s actually necessary across Canada, especially with a lot of newcomers coming into Canada, we need to have a food identity here in Canada,” said Carpenter. “We do not have any type of fast, casual type of Indigenous cuisine type restaurants, not only in Regina, but across Canada. I think it’s time we start doing some home-cooked, good Indigenous cuisine.”
