Join us as we delve into the pressing issues of food sovereignty, nutrition, and cultural revitalization with our guests Romajean Thomas and Valerie Segrest from the Muckleshoot Tribe. We explore the challenges of accessibility and cost of fresh produce, the critical role of education in understanding cultural ecosystems and ethical harvesting practices, and the powerful impact of the Indigenous-led food movement. Learn about innovative initiatives like the Feed 7 Generations Poster, Native Grown and Gathered Project, and Feed 7 Generations Youth Program, designed to reconnect communities with traditional food systems and sustainable practices. Hear firsthand experiences of integrating traditional knowledge into modern healthcare, advocating for food is medicine, and promoting preventative health through ancestral diets. Our discussion underscores the importance of collective action, community engagement, and the interconnectedness of humans and ecosystems in creating a holistic approach to health and nutrition.
