Seed Keeping Training at Ho Chunk

Zach Paige from the White Earth Land Recovery Project will be leading a seed keeping training at Ho Chunk on July 14-15, 2016.  This training is part of a larger effort to expand seed keeping knowledge while strengthening the Upper Midwest Indigenous Seed Keeper Network.

Additional trainings will take place at United Tribes Technical College in Bismarck, ND this September and Menominee in October.  And, don’t forget the Fall 2016 Great Lakes Intertribal Food Summit at Red Lake where Rowen White and Zach will be leading another seed keeping training.
