Recovering Space for Ancestral Foodways
Shiloh Maples, American Indian Health & Family Services
Reflecting on her diverse community engagement work in promoting traditional Native foods for a healthy diet, facilitating nutrition and traditional cooking classes, and managing community garden activities, Shiloh Maples will discuss the importance of revitalizing traditional foodways and embracing traditional foods in modern life. Third in a three-part lecture series called "Ethnobotany for Gardeners: Summer Speaker Series at The Strawbale @ Campus Farm." The event is organized by an interdisciplinary group of graduate students through the Dow Sustainability Fellows Program in collaboration with U-M Campus Farm. The culmination of the series will be an edible perennial landscape design for The Strawbale @ Campus Farm, the University’s newly-constructed off-grid natural building. Refreshments will be provided. Events are free, but registration is required to attend. Visit https://tinyurl.com/yykv9qnr to reserve your space at one or more lectures.
