Recipes bring #Australia’s native harvest into the kitchen
The Native Harvest Kitchen #cookbook demystifies native ingredients and helps you incorporate #IndigenousFood into everyday meals.
By Dr Dorin Gupta, University of
18 October 2024Excerpt: "Through the book we hope to show how #Indigenous ingredients such as #murnong can be easily incorporated into our home herb and veggie patches and everyday cooking practices, widening the range of plants we eat (good for our health), and encouraging us to explore variety in agriculture (good for the planet).
" #WarrigalGreens curry is one of the dishes my family enjoys and also makes a lovely light gnocchi. #LillyPilly and #Pigface are perfect for pickles, while #RubySaltbush berries decorating pavlova are festive and joyful."

So, one of the topics for this week's #SolarPunkSunday is #ticks! I came across some interesting #DIY stuff (and more uses for #DuctTape [#DuckTape] -- which is something most #Mainahs have on hand).
Also, #MaineStateParks just announced some programs and special events. I also came across some recipes for #BlackBeans and #BlueCorn (and how to process it), making one's own #Lime and #CalciumCarbonate, and articles about #IndigenousFood and #FoodSovereignty.
And of course, some upcoming events, including #RepairCafes! I hope you'll join us and feel free to use the hashtag #SolarPunkSunday! It's all about #BuildingCommunity and #SharingIdeas!

Virtual Event - #BookDiscussion of “The #Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World”
February 12 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
"Join us for a virtual book discussion of 'The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World,' by #RobinWallKimmerer.
Free. Registration Required."
About the author:
"As Indigenous scientist and author of #BraidingSweetgrass Robin Wall Kimmerer harvests serviceberries alongside the birds, she considers the ethic of reciprocity that lies at the heart of the gift economy. How, she asks, can we learn from #IndigenousWisdom and the plant world to #reimagine what we value most? Our economy is rooted in scarcity, competition, and the hoarding of resources, and we have surrendered our values to a system that actively harms what we love. Meanwhile, the serviceberry’s relationship with the natural world is an embodiment of reciprocity, #interconnectedness, and gratitude. The tree distributes its wealth—its abundance of sweet, juicy berries—to meet the needs of its natural community. And this distribution ensures its own survival. As Kimmerer explains, 'Serviceberries show us another model, one based upon reciprocity, where wealth comes from the quality of your relationships, not from the illusion of self-sufficiency.' "FMI and to register:

In #SeanSherman's book, #TheSiouxChef #IndigenousKitchen, he suggests using a mixture of berries - blackberries, strawberries, cranberries, raspberries, blueberries, elderberries -- pretty much anything you have on hand -- if one can't find chokecherries (which is what was used originally)

So, I picked out a few recipes for our Winter holiday feast... All from The #SiouxChef ! Seared duck breast with cider glaze (which utilizes juniper berries and sumac and maple syrup and sage), wild rice pilaf (with wild mushrooms and chestnuts and dried cranberries), and griddled maple squash (with our home-grown squash and local maple syrup). I'll be also trying out stews and soups and breads for later in the season. It's so cool to find recipes which utilize ingredients that we can obtain locally!

If you are Native and live around Denver CO, there's this cool Indigenous storytelling dinner, with a fully pre-colonial menu, on December 6 at the Convivio Cafe. Tickets are expensive, because "proceeds from the tickets purchased will go to our Native American Food Sovereignty Project for 2026." However there is a sliding fee scale and a raffle for free tickets. And if you're not Native but want to support, you can purchase tickets or portions of tickets for others at the link.

Digesting Food Studies—Episode 105: Indigenous Food Sovereignty
Although Indigenous food sovereignty has been attacked and eroded by multiple histories of colonial oppression, rebuilding it can happen—through intergenerational learning, land-based practices, and relationality.https://rss.com/podcasts/digesting-food-studies/2185102/
Kaylee Michnik, talks about her article, “Moving Your Body, Soul, and Heart to Share and Harvest Food” from Vol. 8, No. 2 of Canadian Food Studies (https://doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v8i2.446), including the roles we all play in reconciliation & decolonization. Courtney Vaughan offers a response to the text and its challenges. Starting it off is Alexia Moyer’s account of the tasty and tenuous history of camas cultivation by Coast Salish peoples.#DigestingFoodStudies

"Wild rice is a food of great historical, spiritual, and cultural importance for Ojibwe people. After colonization disrupted their traditional food system, 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 Madeline Island (#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.
[...]
RESTORATION AND REGULATION
"As far back as the 1930s, the health of wild rice beds has been a serious concern. In 1939 Minnesota passed a law outlawing mechanized harvest and limiting how and when wild rice could be harvested. Since then, it has enacted other protective policies, including limiting the number of hours in the day during which it is permissible to rice and limiting the length of the canoe used for ricing. In the 1990s, wild rice was identified as an endangered food. The plant is sensitive to water levels altered by dams as well as road construction, pollution, poor harvesting practices, invasive species, genetic engineering (genetic contamination of the wild rice from the paddies), and climate change.
"In response to these threats, Ojibwe and other Native people organized. For example, in 1994, the Fond du Lac and Bois Forte bands developed a '#WildRiceRestorationPlan for the St. Louis River Watershed' designed to restore lost stands of the crop and manage its harvest. In the same decade, the company Native Harvest (part of the White Earth Land Recovery Project) began to sell hand-harvested wild rice, and multiple bands formed reservation wild-rice committees to manage harvests.
"In the 2020s, Ojibwe people continue to defend and protect this vital plant and the cultural, health, and spiritual importance that it holds. Individuals as well as tribes organize ricing camps to teach traditional practices of ricing, parching, and finishing. Others are actively fighting against the Enbridge #Line3 #OilPipeline replacement project that would cross wild rice habitat, or collaborating in a movement for Native food sovereignty."

Pressure Builds to Protect #Manoomin (#WildRice)
"Laws aren’t always enough. We’re seeing a loss of wild rice all over #Minnesota. Threats from #ClimateChange, threats from pollution, threats from landowners that are ripping out wild rice stocks."
By Wabigonikwe, Contributor June 13, 2025, via @UnicornRiot
Excerpt: "Wild rice, often known by its #Objiwe name, manoomin, has been a means of sustenance for #DakotaLakota and Ojibwe peoples since time immemorial. It is the reason that Ojibwe people migrated to this region, 'the land where food grows on water' – without it, people’s health and wellbeing would suffer from not being able to live their way of life and not getting essential nutrients from the rice. (More on the importance of wild rice in UR’s 2017 report, Resistance to Line 3 Pipeline Seeks to Save Sacred Manoomin.)"
[...]
"Activists fear that legislators will use this time to review policies as an opportunity to take back provisions on the wild rice sulfate standard, a law put in place in 1973 limiting the amount of sulfate that mining companies pollute into wild rice waters."

Today is National Indigenous People's Day -- and I had the privilege of chatting with Chef Tawnya Brant about revitalising Indigenous cuisine in a contemporary way, by using traditional ingredients in contemporary dishes.
