I want to say that this will be the weekend I finish planting the #FourSisters garden. The squash got a little beaten up from the rain (but I have more to plant), but the Hopi Blue corn is still there! The Sweet Potato plant might have to go though. We'll see...The container potatoes greening out, and I just picked up more seed onions for containers as well. The Community Gardeners are into doing a plant swap -- it will be nice to share with others. Our 3-season porch is pretty much a greenhouse, and I'd like to turn it back into a library again (with a few hanging plants).

Celebrating the small victories today, on this gorgeous #Beltaine. I heard ONE gunshot this week (and it might have been an echo from across the river), and that was it, which means the "No Hunting" sign is proving to be a deterrent. Also, the new fencing seems to be working around my home garden... Squash plants are still there!

First two #HopiBlueCorn sprouties have appeared! (I started them in sterile medium to get a head start). Just planted four more today. A few #ButternutSquash and #Sunflower seedlings are almost ready to go outside. Working on sprouting some #AnasaziBeans as well. #FourSisters are happening this year!

RE: https://kolektiva.social/@DoomsdaysCW/114490117957652083
So, I'm going with the #Hidatsa garden design for my vegetable garden. I have just the right amount of room to pull it off, and I have fencing that will support the squash.

Sowing #Sovereignty: Reclaiming Indigenous Agriculture in #NorthDakota
By Tracy L. Barnett Posted in Agriculture, Indigenous Peoples, United States on June 10, 2024
"The #FourSisters: Nurturing a time of plenty
"For the #Mandan, #Hidatsa and #Arikara people, seeds are even more than miraculous kernels of life. They are relatives and storehouses of ancestral memory, linked back to a time of abundance connected to the land. That is why the seed sovereignty project generates so much excitement throughout the community. Last month, the program’s first Food and Seed Summit drew around 100 enthusiastic participants.
"The college’s food sovereignty effort aims to help reverse the cultural loss from the MHA Nation’s 1940s dislocation by flooding from the massive Garrison Dam. The seed sovereignty project engages faculty and community members, elders and USDA researchers to cultivate food security in the Three Affiliated Tribes.
"Like others from her community, Plenty Sweetgrass-She Kills grew up hearing the stories about a time of bounty, when the Three Affiliated Tribes farmed the rich bottomlands of the Missouri River. They grew nearly everything they needed in a tight-knit network of communities where work was shared and abundance existed for all.
"The stories were all that remained from those days – and the seeds.
" 'We had a lot of independence, even up to the 1940s,' Plenty Sweetgrass-She Kills told Buffalo’s Fire. 'Then, with the Garrison Dam, that had some devastating impacts in terms of our ability to grow our #TraditionalFoods.' "
