Honoring the Past
It's all about relationships. Building healthy communities means healing ourselves. By helping people to learn more about our plants and natural food sources, where they grow, how to harvest them sustainably, and how to prepare them into healthy and delicious foods for our families, we gain a greater understanding of our people and of ourselves. This understanding creates pride and helps to sustain our well-being as individuals, communities and cultures.
