Indigenous Foodways in the Great Lakes Region with Wild Bearies

Join the Wild Bearies for an in depth discussion focusing on Indigenous foodways in the Great Lakes region covering topics such as culturally relevant foods for the Ho-Chunk peoples and the importance of foraging and farming. 

Wild Bearies is an educational, community outreach nonprofit that strives to bring ancestral foods to communities in a nurturing and nourishing way. With goals of building stronger tribal communities through food, we are also a mentorship program. We work with our ingredients from seed to table, while promoting traditional food systems and farming techniques.
