Video Title:
Living Earth Festival 2018 - Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Tribe
Description:
The ninth annual Living Earth Festival focuses on sustainable development through heritage tourism, traditional agricultural practices, and the importance of Native foods and food sovereignty. In this presentation, Loretta F. Livingston and Sydnee Bigboy are joined by youth program members Joy Schelble and Tia Burns (all tribal members) to describe their nation's food sovereignty and youth programs. Historically, the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Tribe maintained a substantial annual food supply from gardens, the watershed, and the forest. Bad River Food Sovereignty is working to restore that capability, by establishing and managing community gardens and providing people, from youth to elders, with education and other tools and resources, including seedlings. The program is also reconnecting community members with Ojibwe food traditions—including seasonal foods available in their yards and beyond—and with knowledge of their treaty rights to wild-harvest foods and medicines. This presentation was webcast and recorded in the Potomac Atrium of the National Museum of the American Indian on July 21, 2018.
