The Harvest of Heritage: Sending Native Crops from LaFarm to the Delaware Nation

We will conclude the semester-long series Woven Together: Braiding Indigenous and Western Sciences for Shared Solutions to Environmental Challenges with a community event to plant native crops on ancestral land at LaFarm and send them to the Delaware Nation in Oklahoma, symbolically returning native foods to their original stewards and cultural traditions. We will gather at LaFarm to plant native crops on ancestral land, tending to the same soil used by Indigenous peoples for generations. Once harvested, these native foods will be sent to the Delaware Nation in Oklahoma, completing a powerful journey.

Come join us to learn about Indigenous agricultural heritage, and be a part of this living connection between the land, our community, and the Delaware Nation. All are welcome—from beginners to experienced gardeners—to participate in this essential act of stewardship and celebration.
