MNW | The Inextricable Role of Land and Food Justice in Native Language Reclamation
This workshop is an introduction to the deep ties between language, land, and food, and how reclaiming each supports the others. Participants will engage with examples of programs that braid language learning with traditional ecological knowledge, farming, foraging, hunting, and food sovereignty. Together, we will reflect on how language is embedded in relationships with place, with animals and how land-based learning environments, gardens, homelands, kitchens, can become powerful sites of language and cultural reclamation.
