#FoodSovereignty Team Shares Knowledge, Nourishes Community This Fall

#CommunityGardening and #SeedSaving remain central to the team’s efforts, despite the challenges this year due to excessive summer heat, pervasive drought and a dwindling water supply. Fortunately, the garden at Ho’n A:wan Park is now thriving with the arrival of cooler fall temperatures and some rain.

Excerpt: "The food sovereignty team also recently hosted two workshops for the Zuni community. One was a virtual workshop on pickling, which #ZYEP recorded and uploaded to social media so it would always be accessible.

" 'Khass pickled cucumbers, chili peppers, onions and purslane, which grows abundantly here,' Seowtewa said, noting that purslane, a fleshy-leafed succulent plant, tastes a lot like artichoke hearts.

"ZYEP also hosted an in-person workshop in partnership with James and Joyce Skeets, owners of Vanderwagen, New Mexico-based Spirit Farm. Fifteen community members attended the workshop, which gave them opportunities to learn about—and taste—some of the plants grown at the farm, including basil, hyssop, chili peppers, mint, nasturtiums and Stevia leaf."

It’s a #Zuni (#NativeAmerican) #turquoise #brooch.

Plundering and polluting for profit regardless of the human, social & environmental consequences.

#OakFlat is a sacred place to the Western #Apache, #Yavapai, #O’odham, #Hopi, and #Zuni. It is a place where rituals are performed, and resources are gathered; its loss would be an indescribable hardship to those peoples.”

Originally seed pots were pottery vessels created to safely store seeds for the following growing season. Some contemporary artists, in a revival of tradition, are calling attention to the seed pot by making ornate sterling silver miniatures.

Zuni people from the village of Hawikuu fled to the Dowa Yalanne mesa top to escape the attack by the Coronado expedition in 1540. The 14 structures used as a refuge from the Spaniards off and on between 1540 and 1680 were called Heshoda Ayahltona ("ancient buildings above").

We'Wha (1849-1896), a Zuni Lhamana or two-spirit person

Matilda Coxe Stevenson, an anthropologist visiting #Zuni, wrote a lot of interesting things about We'Wha, but my favorite: Stevenson tried to get the Zuni interested in laundry, which, like, it's hot and dusty and a lot of work and they were not into it, but We'Wha thought laundry was really cool.

“If we lose grocery stores tomorrow, what are we going to do?” said Bowannie. He sees backyard gardens as an important part of the answer to this question.
