Most years I do the bird, this year in the smoker, and it turned out pretty damned good. Also do the cranberries, which are more reliable and that also turned out pretty great. Yats did vegetables and stuffing and gravy which were all brilliant.

I got brought up with #Thanksgiving but we acknowledge it as #IndigenousPeoplesDay.

Happy Indigenous People's Day 🦃

Controversy of the day: 2nd Monday in October is #ColumbusDay: Oct 12, 1492, Columbus landed in the Americas, but didn't "discover" it. It was already populated for 25,000+ years. That event brought written #history to the Americas, which written history considers significant. Some regions recognize #IndigenousPeoplesDay today, marking the upheaval brought to the native peoples. Today, none of us are ones who caused that. All of us can do a part to show respect and move forward together. #TDIH

#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."
