Question 6

What is an Bannock Taco (formerly Indigenous Taco)?

Accepted Answer

Widely known as an “Indian Taco,” West Coast Bannock has reclaimed and reimagined this dish with a twist of its own. In addition to our classic bannock, we’ve become known for our signature stuffed bannock tacos — a fresh take that fills the bannock instead of topping it. By combining traditional bread with bold, modern flavours, we’re bridging the gap between contemporary and Indigenous food cultures.

West Coast Bannock often collaborates with local Indigenous artists and craftspeople, highlighting their work on their social media platforms and sometimes incorporating their artwork in events or promotions. We work closely with Heilsuk artist K.C. Hall who designed the logo!
