Leo Award-winning APTN series Moosemeat & Marmalade is
back for its seventh and final farewell season, premiering on
Tuesday, May 7 in English at 8 PM EST on APTN.
Join beloved co-hosts Art Napoleon and Dan Hayes for an
impactful journey through 13 all-new episodes as they celebrate
inter-tribal food and culture and bid a warm adieu to this highly
successful series.
Leaving on a high, co-host and Producer Art Napoleon explains:
“I’m so proud of the impact we’ve made educating people about
Indigenous culture and food over the past seven seasons. It’s
amazing that as our series ends, it continues to be among APTN’s
most popular. We’re so grateful to have had such an incredible
response to Moosemeat & Marmalade and to know that our vision
will continue as teachers use the show for classroom education, and
the reruns continue to enjoy great success across many
networks.”
Airing weekly, the farewell season promises to deliver another
unforgettable culinary and cultural experience with 13 final
episodes packed full of unique foods, charming small towns,
beautiful cultures, and a wonderful fusion of Indigenous cooking
styles with modern techniques.
Viewers are in for a memorable final run including epic
adventures from ice-fishing near Whistler to canoe racing with the
Malahat First Nation. The intrepid and endearing hosts take viewers
on an exciting and moving journey that includes meeting a
world-champion scallop shucker in Digby, hunting beaver, black
grouse, and moose internationally in Sweden and so much more. This
season's featured recipes will include venison flatbread, red
wine-braised moose, beaver chili, coho salmon linguine, and more
culinary delights.
Winner of the 2022 Leo Award for Best Cinematography in a
Documentary Series, Moosemeat & Marmalade has been loved by
fans worldwide since it first aired in 2015. With more than 90
episodes produced by the end of the final seventh season, Season 7
pays a special homage to Indigenous communities and traditions, the
late crew, and the many Elders who’ve made the show so special over
the years. Season 7, like the previous seasons, focuses on
educating viewers on important topics such as Indigenous food
sovereignty, inter-tribal cooking and traditions, and sustainable
food sourcing. Dan and Art hope to not only entertain their viewers
but also inspire them to embrace ethical food practices and
celebrate the many diverse food traditions in our communities.
Reflections from the Moosemeat & Marmalade
Team
“I feel very lucky to have spent time hunting, fishing, cooking,
eating, learning and laughing with so many of the wonderful
Indigenous communities across Canada. I have come to understand and
learn about the diversity, the uniqueness, and the beauty of
different nations and I am so very grateful to Art and the whole
Moosemeat & Marmalade crew for taking me along on so many
exciting adventures over the past decade,” shares Dan Hayes, the
show’s co-host.
“Some of our team have been with us from the beginning. Working
together, traveling and creating together for so many seasons -
we’ve come to feel like family. Creating this series with Art and
Mike has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career
and I hope audiences will continue to enjoy it for years to come,”
said Hilary Pryor, the show’s Executive Producer.
“I feel very fortunate to have been able to help create this
wonderful journey with my co-producers Art & Hilary. The people
we’ve met and the places we’ve traveled, alongside some of the most
talented crew have been such a great experience. It’s really our
guests that make this show special and we can’t thank them enough
for letting us into their worlds. We have had such an incredible
run and the fans of the show have made it just that much better.
We’ve interacted with thousands of fans over the years and hearing
how much they’ve enjoyed learning or laughing with Art & Dan is
one of the best parts. I am very grateful to be a part of such a
wild ride,” says Mike Wavrecan, the show’s co-producer.
“When I tell people I work in television, the one show I get the
biggest reaction from is when I say I direct Moosemeat &
Marmalade,” said one of the directors and long-time crew
member, Michael Bourquin.
