Getting to know our food, and how being good stewards of the land can help us eat better
by Katharine A. Jameson, Vermont Country magazine
03/01/2024
Excerpt: "Learning from the land
"Chief Stevens points out that it’s all in one’s perspective. He gives the example of #dandelions. 'You might look at them as a weed but I might look at them as a food source,' he explains, noting the wine and greens for which they’re used.
"When Europeans arrived in what they later named Vermont, they saw the lush #ForestGardens Natives had fostered, but didn’t recognize that it had been cultivated. 'The sophistication of the agriculture system was so high that people couldn’t see it at all. It just looked like abundant wild lands, but really they were so abundant because of our deep connection and long-term #stewardship of them,' #Abenaki tribal member, #JohnHunt describes in a new, short film posted to YouTube about Abenaki food systems.
"What can we learn from these growth practices? Professor Tiana Baca of Sterling College explains in this film: 'Nature doesn’t grow in #monocrops.' She notes that Native people’s lush gardens maximized yields by #CompanionPlanting crops like the #ThreeSisters. 'The three sisters is a companion planting group of corn, beans and squash. They’re plants that grow together and support each other. The corn is growing up, it’s providing this living trellis. The beans use that to climb on. The beans are then fixing nitrogen and supporting the growth of the corn and then the squash plant kind of sprawls out and creates this living mulch. All of them working together makes all of them produce better.'
"Respect runs deep in the Abenaki tradition. From the elders and ancestors from whom they learn to the food and animals they consume, they bless the animals they dispatch with tobacco and hold sacred the chain of custody of each of their seeds.
" 'We have to have some foresight about it. Treating the land with respect and not looking at it always through our need, but as a collective community need. In the old days we used to look at community more than individual needs.' Stevens discusses the Native mentality that land, contrary to the European way, is to be shared by all creatures, not owned.
" 'There is hope,' Chief Stevens says. 'There is a way to reconnect and change the outcomes of what is happening. But the only way to do that is to put the effort, time and resources into connecting with us, the native people and others to try to remember that historical knowledge of connection to our land, our animals and our wild food sources. The forests and the wild foods sustained our people for thousands of years. Why would we not think it wouldn’t do that now?'
"The Chief set out a few things we can all do to help save the planet."

#Indigenous "#ReMattering": A conversation with #DavidShaneLowry, PhD
"Sheeva Azma talks to Dr. David Shane Lowry about his work magnifying #IndigenousPerspectives from an anthropological perspective, including in science and technology, and science communication.
"Dr. Lowry serves on the faculty at the University of Southern Maine. He earned his BS from MIT and both Master’s and PhD from UNC Chapel Hill, all in anthropology. He is an anthropologist and member (citizen) of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina. He grew up in the #Lumbee community in Robeson County, North Carolina. In 2021-22, he was Distinguished Fellow in #NativeAmerican Studies at MIT, where he led a new conversation at MIT about the responsibilities of MIT (and science/technology education, more generally) in the theft of American Indian land and the dismantling of American Indian health and community. From 2022 to 2023, he was Visiting Senior Fellow in the School of Social Policy at Brandeis University. At USM, Dr. Lowry runs the #IndigenousRelationshipsLab as a place for and commitment to #justice and re-mattering of American Indian and other Indigenous peoples from #Maine, to #Massachusetts, to #NorthCarolina. David writes and hosts conversations on InTrust [link below]."
