ELINOR WHIDDEN is a Settler of British, Irish, Scottish and Huguenot descent. (That’s a Protestant French person persecuted for not being Catholic. Most converted or fled as refugees, like her ancestor Jean Geunon who ended up in Flushing, Long Island in 1657.) Whidden is likely descended from even more European places: research pending. She has always considered herself a Heinz 57 of European flavours, but most closely identifies with the British flavour because of her Grammie, Monty Python, and the family tradition of stifling emotions with dry humour. Whidden currently lives in Toronto, part of the Dish With One Spoon Territory. Toronto is the traditional territory of the Wendat, Haudenosaunee, and Anishinaabe peoples (and likely many other Nations - recorded and unrecorded - who she will never know). The Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation are the current treaty land holders through the Toronto Purchase settlement in 2010.
