TPS Co-Founder Valerie Segrest doesn’t want anybody to give up Thanksgiving. In fact, gathering around the table with gratitude should happen far more often. Read on in The Seattle Times for Valerie's thoughts on Thanksgiving and how non-Indigenous people can celebrate the holiday with mindfulness and meaning. #Thanksgiving #IndigenousInclusivity #IndigenousFoods #CulturalSafety #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth

Valerie Segrest on connecting to the land this Thanksgiving via The New York Times: ?? "What we experience nowadays is this rush to go buy a frozen turkey and thaw it in your bathtub for several days, and ominous boxes of stuffing. What is it? Where did it come from? Who touched it before? It totally rips you apart from the land." Rebuilding that relationship can be as straightforward as buying ingredients in their whole form and breaking them down yourself, eating a more diverse array of dishes or talking about where ingredients came from at the table. “That is the point of a ceremony," Valerie said. "To spend time with your food and remember you are human.” Visit nyti.ms/40Yp7t9 to learn how to rethink your relationship with Thanksgiving and take small measures in gratitude of our land and foods. #Thanksgiving #Sustainability #WasteReduction #SustainableLiving #SustainableCooking

We're proud to honor Native Grown & Gathered's first Entrepreneur of the Month, Wapato Island Farm! ?? bit.ly/WapatoIslandFarm ?? Wapato Island Farm practices no-till, regenerative farming to grow medicine and house ethically grown and harvested plants. Surrounded by the Columbia River and rich with fertile soil and seeds, Wapato (Sauvie) Island was a vital place of commerce before colonization. The farm has been in the family for over a decade and spans 32 acres. Tended by a deep desire to honor, preserve, and share the earth's beauty and healing power, Wapato Island Farm works with the community to honor the island’s original Multnomah Tribe land- and space-tenders.
