"Food sovereignty reminds us that food isn't just nutrients - it's how we share friendship, it's how we share culture, it's how we relate to other people and to the land" - Listen to the Indigenae podcast with @TheIndigFoodie on your favorite podcatcher!

[Center for Indigenous Health @JHUCIH]

Tara Maudrie, Sault Ste. Marie Ojibwe, discusses food sovereignty & how our relationship with food consists of more than the things we eat...it encompasses our relationships to land, water, air, & all living beings. Listen at https://t.co/2wAQv6F7mV #indigenae #NAHM #womenshealth

[Alec J. Calac, MD, PhD @ajcalac]

You likely haven't heard about it, but today the @AmerMedicalAssn recognized the ongoing disenfranchisement of Native voters and the importance of using P.O. boxers for voter registration. The voice of Indian Country must be heard. 🗳 #ThisIsTribalPublicHealth @ANAMS1975

"When you pray and you put energy or intention out there into the universe... that’s how it becomes, and that’s how you start is with a good intention and then things slowly fall into place." - Lakota mother and community leader Ashley Phelps Garcia on the #Indigenae podcast

[Center for Indigenous Health @JHUCIH]

Ashley teaches us that living in community and ceremony is a place to grow💗individually and collectively as we keep in mind the seven generations ahead. Good intention allows for things to fall into place☮️. Listen here https://t.co/QMal3vNUUq #indigenae #womenshealth #NAHM

“Our traditional practitioners have always made themselves available to breach the realm of death and life - you know you give yourself 100%, especially when an individual comes to you for that help." - Diné Elder and Traditional Practitioner Linda Ross on the #Indigenae podcast

[Center for Indigenous Health @JHUCIH]

Traditional healing methods & teachings are at the center of #Indigenous wellbeing. They can support Indigenous people diagnosed with #cancer. Linda shares her story of being both a traditional practitioner and overcoming a cancer diagnosis. Listen here https://t.co/2wAQv6nvYl

Q11: What advice would you give to someone who wants to learn more about #NativeFoodWays?

[Urban Indian Health Institute @TheUIHI]

Appreciate but don’t appropriate our #NativeFoodWays. Some foods are great for sharing (blueberries, anyone?) whereas others may hold sacred meaning or may be threatened and shouldn’t be harvested or sold for profit by non-Natives.🙅🏻‍♀️

[Indigenous Public Health Consulting @ProjectMosaicCO]

Youth need to be engaged so our traditions carry forth to the next generation. #NativeFoodWays

Traditional foods, and the stories they tell, connect us with our ancestors. The #Indigenae podcast explores the connection between land, culture, and Indigenous womxn's health and wellbeing. Catch next week's episode on Urban Native Food Sovereignty with @TheIndigFoodie!

[Center for Indigenous Health @JHUCIH]

Elders and growers in the community need to be engaged. It starts with the family unit and elders who know where to harvest wild foods. People also turn to the growers in the community for heirloom seeds. #NativeFoodWays

[IllumiNative @IllumiNative]

@JHUCAIH We heard about a lot of people starting gardens during the pandemic, which can be a form of food sovereignty, putting our #Nativefoodways back into our own hands. 🌱

[Urban Indian Health Institute @TheUIHI]

Native people have always valued creating #Intergenerational spaces that include families and children—and bringing this same practice to our #NativeFoodWays work. It’s all about passing on that #AncestralKnowledge.

We are taught to take care of the land that sustains us; protecting our right to food sovereignty means protecting our environment. Without a healthy river, we have no salmon. Without prescribed burning, our acorn harvest diminishes... #UnDamTheKlamath #GoodFire #NativeFoodWays
