About this blog..,
This blog is the place to come for information about tribal agriculture in the Great Lakes Region. It’s important to note that “agriculture”, especially in this area, broadly encompasses all forms of food production like fisheries, wild rice, and maple sugar rather than simple historic conception of agriculture as merely a farmer plowing the fields.
