'This is the #dichotomy we have between what people write about the things #Indigenous people have done on the landscape vs sensible reasons for why it was done,” said Benoit, whose heritage is #RedRiver #Michif (#Métis ). “Through #OralTradition, we knew that there were good #ecological and #food -related reasons to do these things.”
Benoit’s point is that the #Prairies were “#settled ” and #farmed long before #European #settlers arrived.'
