#LaPointeWI - #MadelineIsland #CommunityGarden
"The Madeline Island Community Garden acknowledges that we garden on the land of the ancestral and contemporary #Anishinaabe, home to the #Ojibwe people. We affirm our commitment to support community wide discussion and education about indigenous sovereignty and history, and to encourage respect for the stories and sacredness this land has for the Ojibwe people.
"The garden offers a place for gardeners to grow their own food, as well as providing seasonal produce for the #FoodPantry at St. John’s Church.
Our garden is an ever-evolving creation…a fertile ground for producing nutritious local food, nurturing friendships, and connecting more closely to the processes of nature. The year’s unfolding brings unexpected delights as seeds sprout, flowers bloom, and vegetables mature and are gathered for harvest. Gardening can be challenging in this northern climate with frustratingly short growing seasons, unexpected early and late frosts, years with too much or too little rain, heavy clay soils, and of course the ubiquitous insects, weeds, and herbivores. Deer, rabbits, and voles love our fresh garden produce as much as we do! Many hands and many hearts have worked together to build a place that can sustain both body and soul of community members.
Our garden has a combination of individual growing plots for rent, as well as communal areas where a variety of crops are grown. Each season we work to supply fresh, local produce to the food shelf at St. John’s UCC.
The Madeline Island Community Garden is open sunup to sundown daily for plot renters to come and work in their space, harvest, or simply enjoy. As the garden is on leased private property and adjacent to a residence, please contact us for a tour and visit. We’d love to show you around!"

Even before Chicago was a metropolis, this region was already diverse. This photo was taken in 1909 after a dance in southwest Michigan's #Potawatomi community, but there were also Myaamia people there. The #PokagonBand of Potawatomi-who live on the closest land base to today's City of Chicago-historically intermarried with and lived among the region's Myaamia, #Odawa, and #Ojibwe communities.

Here’s some TIL info about Native Americans that you didn’t ask for…
Anishinaabe and Ojibwe are often used interchangeably. But they are not the same. Anishinaabe is a group of nations that includes Ojibwe.
I know this because my great nieces are half Ojibwe.
So…there it is. Now you know.

#ICE Murdered Legal Observer in #Minneapolis -- Now Detaining Four #OglalaLakota in Migrant Sweeps
""There are 8,000 Red Lake residents currently living in the Twin Cities in the immediate neighborhoods where ICE is presently terrorizing residents," the #RedLakeNation said, expressing deep concern that #Ojibwe, known as #Chippewa and #Anishinaabe, will be abused."
By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Jan. 8, 2026
"Oglala President #FrankStarComesOut said, 'I have been made aware that #ICE (Department of Homeland Security) has detained four of our tribal members in #Minneapolis,' Star Comes Out said late today.
" 'The four men are homeless and were living under the bridge near the #LittleEarth housing project. A bystander (also an #OglalaSioux Tribal Member) was able to get the information out of them that they are members of the Oglala Sioux Tribe but did not get names."
"The Oglala Lakota Nation in #PineRidge, South Dakota, issued a statement for Oglala to identify themselves as U.S. citizens and advised them to make this statement: 'Because I am both a tribal citizen and U.S. citizen, ICE has no lawful authority to detain me.'
"President Frank Star Comes Out pointed out that the Treaties affirm a nation-to-nation relationship with the United States, and advised Oglala not to speak without an attorney present.
"Oglala Sioux Tribal attorneys are reaching out to Minnesota Lt. Gov. #PeggyFlanagan about where the four Lakotas are being detained and what their names are. The Tribal Council and executive officers have also been informed, he said."

Brief but reflective, Vukelich explores the meaning of Ojibwe language and suggests that the greatest wisdom of the indigenous peoples exists within the words themselves. Personal and compelling, and very open to newcomers to First Nations wisdom.

“Weapons of Health Destruction...” How Colonialism Created the Modern Native American Diet
The Impact of Systematic Oppression on Indigenous Cuisine in the United States
#Frybread, sometimes called “#DieBread” or a “weapon of health destruction,” has multiple origin stories, and they all involve oppression and perseverance.
by Andrea Freeman, July 24, 2024
Excerpt: "On the hit television show #ReservationDogs, the only series ever to feature all #Indigenous writers, directors, and main cast members, the Indian Health Center invites rapper Punkin’ Lusty, played by real-life #Mvskoke rapper #StenJoddi, to perform his hit song '#GreasyFrybread.' [A song Dr. Lowry played during today's broadcast.] The occasion is #Diabetes Awareness Month. Lusty raps,
Baby girl looking deadly (Yeah!)
Why she acting all Rezzy (Yeah!)
Hotter than a pan of frybread grease!
Have a Native hittin’ Powwow Beats!
Gotcha Auntie in the kitchen
Like no he didn’t
Got her Gramama’s skillet
Like she ’bout to kill it!The song solidly locates frybread within Indigenous culture.
Sofkee [a corn drink or soup] on the burner
Hokte Hokte [woman] head turner
Water baking powder
Choppin’ up that white stuff
All purpose flour
Gotta mix it right up
Hit the Rez with the Shits
They eats it right up! Watch the grease pop
Watch her waist drop
She got that blue bird bag [Blue Bird flour comes in a twenty-pound cloth bag and claims to be “The Native American Frybread Secret”]
In her tank top
he got that white powder
All over everything
She gettin’ to bussin’ man
But we ain’t cousins man!
We from the same tribe
But a different clan
She my Rez Bunny
And I’m her Red Man
She love my Tattoos
And my two braids
Frybread money at the Creek Fest get paid! On that!”Foregrounding this song in the Health Center’s battle against diabetes underscores the other side of frybread’s legacy, also emblazoned on a T-shirt that announces 'Frybread: Creating #Obesity Since 1860.' #Cheyenne and #HudulgeeMuscogee #IndigenousRights activist #SuzanShownHarjo, who vowed to give up frybread as a New Year’s resolution, explains, 'Frybread is emblematic of the #LongTrails from home and freedom to confinement and #rations. It’s the connecting dot between healthy children and obesity, #hypertension, diabetes, #dialysis, #blindness, #amputations and #SlowDeath.' Reflecting on stereotypes that dehumanized Indigenous people to justify #colonization, such as the worn-out trope of Indians drinking 'firewater,' Harjo asserts that frybread love is another way to portray them as 'simple-minded people who salute the little grease bread and get misty-eyed about it.'
"In The #HeartbeatOfWoundedKnee, scholar #DavidTreuer introduces health educator #ChelseyLuger, who is #Ojibwe and #Lakota. Chelsey talks to Indigenous communities about the perils of frybread as part of her efforts to steer their diets in new directions, even in the face of limited food options. 'Sometimes people get defensive, but we are able to make the conversation positive. We say we grew up with it and like it and we say frybread is not power. We say frybread kills our people. It’s that serious. It causes diabetes and heart disease. We have to look at those colonial foods as a kind of enemy.' "

We from the same tribe
But a different clan
She my Rez Bunny
And I’m her Red Man
She love my Tattoos
And my two braids
Frybread money at the Creek Fest get paid! On that!”Foregrounding this song in the Health Center’s battle against diabetes underscores the other side of frybread’s legacy, also emblazoned on a T-shirt that announces 'Frybread: Creating #Obesity Since 1860.' #Cheyenne and #HudulgeeMuscogee #IndigenousRights activist #SuzanShownHarjo, who vowed to give up frybread as a New Year’s resolution, explains, 'Frybread is emblematic of the #LongTrails from home and freedom to confinement and #rations. It’s the connecting dot between healthy children and obesity, #hypertension, diabetes, #dialysis, #blindness, #amputations and #SlowDeath.' Reflecting on stereotypes that dehumanized Indigenous people to justify #colonization, such as the worn-out trope of Indians drinking 'firewater,' Harjo asserts that frybread love is another way to portray them as 'simple-minded people who salute the little grease bread and get misty-eyed about it.'
"In The #HeartbeatOfWoundedKnee, scholar #DavidTreuer introduces health educator #ChelseyLuger, who is #Ojibwe and #Lakota. Chelsey talks to Indigenous communities about the perils of frybread as part of her efforts to steer their diets in new directions, even in the face of limited food options. 'Sometimes people get defensive, but we are able to make the conversation positive. We say we grew up with it and like it and we say frybread is not power. We say frybread kills our people. It’s that serious. It causes diabetes and heart disease. We have to look at those colonial foods as a kind of enemy.' "

"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."

Bah! My old #fabric supplier is only shipping within Canada. Time to either move back... or find elsewhere to by yards or bolts from.

https://powwowsupply.com/
https://49dzinewholesale.com/en-us/and I have no idea where else. 🤔🧐 Most of these places outsource the actual manufacturing to Korea or elsewhere or are not #Native Owned.
Not really a concern at the moment as I still have plenty waiting to be used. Makes them extra special and limited editions! 😜

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."
