abstract:The Lummi ( ; Lummi: Xwlemi ; also known as Lhaq'temish), governed by the Lummi Nation, are a Native American tribe of the Coast Salish ethnolinguistic group in western Washington state in the United States. The Tribe primarily resides on and around the Lummi Indian Reservation, at to the west of Bellingham and south of the Canadian border, in western Whatcom County.
Noma alumni who have gone on to create their own successful restaurants include Blaine Wetzel, a Noma chef de partie who runs a locally sourced restaurant on Lummi Island, two hours north of Seattle, and Noma sous chef Jesper Kirketerp, whose new Copenhagen eatery Restaurant Radio offers an accessible bistro-like riff on Noma's cerebral approach.
