My Two Cents

Today I was inspired to “double dip”, in a manner of speaking. As I was researching the word piki, and finding out more about this traditional bread, I bumped into a video made by Victoria Spencer and Marlene Sekaquaptewa that explains how to make piki. So I decided to investigate about these two creators. It turns out Ms. Sekaquaptewa, who was Hopi, passed away last summer from Covid-19.
