American Tastes: Maple Syrup has Indigenous History

Maple syrup was first discovered by Indigenous people in what is now North America and sugaring has become a popular hobby for many. Produced by Skidmore student Maya Balaban for the course American Tastes.

American Tastes is a course with Dr. Beck Krefting at Skidmore College, an interdisciplinary exploration of the evolution of US cuisines, foodways (these are diverse) and food politics.
