#Wisconsin - #TribalFoodSovereignty resources

"#NativeFoodSovereignty is the right of #AmericanIndians, #AlaskaNatives and #NativeHawaiians to produce their own #TraditionalFoods on their own lands to sustain themselves, their families and their communities. #NativeAmericans had #FoodSovereignty for thousands of years before the first European contact in the Americas. Food systems have dramatically changed to the detriment of Native peoples’ health."
-First Nations Development Institute

"We are exploring the development of a statement that acknowledges this land’s #FirstNations people. This statement would be used to open discussions and educate the public we work with about First Nations peoples’ rights and the contributions First Nations have made and continue to make throughout this land now known as #Wisconsin."

Since mastadon has a cap on photos I wanted to attach the bracelets and the lone necklace that I've made in a separate post. The butterfly necklace and bracelet I made for my own regalia since my potawatomi name translates to red butterfly woman I thought the monarch was an appropriate ornament!

Much of what we know about #ralphkerwineo comes from degrading newspaper arcticle about him when he was charged with vagrancy in his own homeland by creating new depictions of of him we reclaim and dignify his name as black #potawatomi person living outside the American gender binary

1914, a scandal arose when the ex-wife of a Milwaukee man named #RalphKerwineo reported to the police that he had been born with the name Cora Anderson to African American and #Potawatomi parents in Indiana.

#WildRice and the #Ojibwe

by Jessica Milgroom

"Wild rice is a food of great historical, spiritual, and cultural importance for Ojibwe people. After #colonization disrupted their #TraditionalFoodSystem, however, they could no longer depend on stores of wild rice for food all year round. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, this traditional staple was appropriated by white entrepreneurs and marketed as a gourmet commodity. Native and non-Native people alike began to harvest rice to sell it for cash, threatening the health of the natural stands of the crop. This lucrative market paved the way for domestication of the plant, and farmers began cultivating it in paddies in the late 1960s. In the twenty-first century, many Ojibwe and other Native people are fighting to sustain the hand-harvested wild rice tradition and to protect wild rice beds.

"Ojibwe people arrived in present-day Minnesota in the 1600s after a long migration from the east coast of the United States that lasted many centuries. Together with their #Anishinaabe kin, the #Potawatomi and #Odawa, they followed a vision that told them to search for their homeland in a place 'where the food floats on water.' The Ojibwe recognized this as the wild rice they found growing around Lake Superior (#Gichigami), and they settled on the sacred site of what is known today as #MadelineIsland (#Mooningwaanekaaning).

"In the Ojibwe language, wild rice (Zizania palustris) is called #manoomin, which is related by analogy to a word (minomin) meaning 'good berry.' It is a highly nutritious wild grain that is gathered from lakes and waterways by canoe in late August and early September, during the wild rice moon (manoominike giizis).

"Before contact with Europeans and as late as the early twentieth century, Ojibwe people depended on wild rice as a crucial part of their diet, together with berries, fish, meat, vegetables, and maple sugar. They moved their camps throughout the year, depending on the activities of seasonal food gathering. In autumn, families moved to a location close to a lake with a promising stand of wild rice and stayed there for the duration of the season. Men hunted and fished while women harvested rice, preparing food for their families to eat throughout the following winter, spring, and summer."

in the mid-18th century, the Potawatomi settled in this area from Wisconsin and Michigan. They had numerous camps in Northern Illinois including at The Grove where Deer Trail crossed Milwaukee Avenue. The Illinois prairie was well-suited to their hunting and gathering lifestyle. Kennicott family legend references a peaceful interaction between the family and their Potawatomi neighbors.

Illinois returns stolen land to Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation

> Nothing ever altered that treaty, but when Shab-eh-nay and his people left for several years to visit family in Kansas, the government sold the land to white settlers.
