FOR•AGE: TO OBTAIN FOOD OR PROVISIONS.

In partnership with the Native American Agriculture Fund, Flower Hill Institute is proud to announce that in the summer of 2021, Native American students in grades 7-12 had the opportunity to learn all about food sovereignty initiatives and ways to forage traditional foods at the Youth Forage Summit. Native American agricultural experts led sessions that had a deeper dive into foraging practices found across the Nation.

Summit session topics include: 

  • Introduction to Food Sovereignty

  • Gathering

  • Growing

  • Harvesting

  • Introduction to Videography
