Our food sovereignty and the well-being of the community is directly related to our capacity to grow traditional foods, plant medicines, seed saving, and foraging.
returning to nature.
Being in right relationship with the land is being connected to nature as natural human beings which extends beyond our identities as individuals and encompasses the community. We understand and believe that when we are in right relationship with nature we are in our full power as spiritual beings. In this way, we grow food as medicine and save seeds to cultivate a powerful, long-term relationship with nature, while nurturing community as the soil in which we grow and heal amongst each other.
Seeds.
Seeds are a tangible connection that we have to our ancestors and their stories. Corn being one of the most sacred. We are creating a seed library, while growing seeds that have cultural significance.
Heirloom vegetables.
From seed grows food, and food is medicine. The food we eat affects us down to our DNA. While we save seeds, we cannot save all the seeds of our harvests. We do grow heirloom vegetables, in effort to cultivate a community farm that is based on traditional indigenous diet concepts.
Land stewardship.
Land and water are essential to our lives and who we are. Our identity as indigenous peoples is deeply rooted in the land and water. How we take care of these things is essential to our well-being and in keeping balance with the natural cycles of Earth. We practice being in right relationship with the land and water.
